We love tree-hugging, especially now as a tree hug is a hug possible even during the difficult COVID-19 social isolation.

Did you know that tree-hugging can provide mind-body benefits helping us to feel more grounded and soothed?

Hugging a tree can increase levels of oxytocin in the body just like hugging a person. Oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone” combats cortisol, the “stress hormone,” leading to increased calmness and a sense of tranquility.
