Mother nature against anxiolytics
Written and directed by Cécile Favier
Synopsis
What if one of the alternatives to psychotropics and other anxiolytics was at the tip of our fingers, with our hands in the soil, our nose in a bouquet of flowers, and our teeth biting into a freshly picked radish? What are the true physiological and psychological benefits of contact with a natural environment on our health?
Mother nature against anxiolytics explores the experiences of users and caregivers involved in three field trials in the Grand-Est region (a therapeutic garden in a hospital retirement home, a reintegration program through horticulture, an outdoor school in the educational system) and demonstrates how this "free care for all," a real public health issue, is a crucial key to building more peaceful and cooperative societies.
