Why European Doctors Are Now Prescribing Nature — and How Telemedicine Fits In

Ever heard of a doctor prescribing a walk in the woods?

It’s not a joke — in several countries across Europe, like Scotland, Italy and Germany, doctors are now recommending nature-based activities as part of the treatment for anxiety, burnout, depression and even high blood pressure.

They call it “green prescriptions”, and the science backs it up:
Spending time in natural environments improves mental health, boosts mood, reduces cortisol, and encourages movement.

But here’s something people don’t often talk about:
While the trail may be good for your mind and body, it’s still important to have medical guidance — even outdoors.

That’s where telemedicine comes in.

With 24/7 access to doctors online, Healion gives you the freedom to explore while knowing a licensed professional is just a tap away — whether you need:

  • Guidance before starting new physical activity

  • Mental health check-ins and follow-ups

Nature heals. And so do people who care.
