Modernization and fast life are
attracting the world to city life. Currently more than half of the world
population is living in modern, relaxed environment but away from nature and
are constantly exposed to stress. As a result of these stressful situations in
modern society, relaxing effects of nature are receiving positive attention.
Lack of open areas in city and cramped space in high rising apartments are
restraining.
Recent research has demonstrated that natural environment plays an integral
role in health promotion, and there is a positive relationship between nature-derived
stimuli and human health. Ayurveda has mentioned 3 types of mental temperaments
a) Doshas of mind-Satvika,
b) Rajisk,
c) Tamsik.
Each of this has a distinct character of its own. Tamas is state of inertia,
rajas denote activity and sattava-a transactive state of mind.
Further, Tamas is a mood of lethargy, indolence, indifference, indisposed to
activity. Also, a condition of sloth and sleep with no intellectual conviction
to pursue, nor emotional feeling to manifest. A person steeped in tamas lives a
dull, inactive life, with minimum responsiveness to the world. Rajas is a state
of passion, desirous to achieve and agitated. In other words, a state where an
individual bristle with frenzied actions leading to his involvement in affairs
of the world. Sattva is a state of thoughts in equinity, serenity of mind and
objectivity in actions. In simpler words when a person is poised but mature,
contemplative and detached from worldly involvement and excitement. Sattva,
rajas and tamas composed in different properties, account for heterogenous
variety of human beings. In toto every individual possesses all three
unas/temperaments but, they change from time to time and place to place.
At Kayakalp we envisioned to bring health seekers closer to nature to enhance
their satvika temperament. To effect this change, gardens full of flowers are
developed across the facility. When health seekers visualise flowers, it
decreases oxy-haemoglobin (oxy-Hb) concentrations in the prefrontal cortex;
enhances parasympathetic nervous activity, which is otherwise increased in
relaxed state and suppresses sympathetic nervous activity, that is usually
found increased in aroused or stressed state. It also decreases pulse rate and
reduces blood pressure, lowers down pain ratings, anxiety and fatigue. Thus,
when we are exposed to natural environment, our body reverts to how it should
be, and we can name this treatment as “Nature therapy-a set of practice aimed
at achieving preventive medical effects”. It is achieved through exposure to
natural stimuli rendering a state of physiological relaxation and boosts the
immune functions to prevent diseases. This therapy is now increasingly
recognized as an effective relaxation and stress management tool and has the
potential to be more widely adopted as a complementary therapy in the future.
