• The centre is surrounded by a large forest complex – a part of the Masovian Landscape Park. It is dominated by coniferous and pine stands, with juniper bushes prevailing as forest cover. Such combination of species plays essential role in creating the unique climate and health benefits. In addition to oxygen production, significant amounts of phytocides that have calming and antibacterial properties are released into the atmosphere. The volatile oils that are being released disinfect airways and dilate blood vessels.
• Our patients and their guests may take advantage of a large, private pine-tree park, and a therapeutic garden, designed especially for people with dementia. This creates an opportunity to have immediate contact with nature and benefit from the richness of stimuli filling the forest surroundings of our Centre.
• In the therapeutic garden, hydrotherapy is used to achieve specific therapeutic goals. Growing and caring for plants with experienced therapists is designed to inspire and absorb, develop creativity, accelerate recovery, improve physical and mental health.
• Shinrin-yoku, or immersion in the forest, is a Japanese therapy using contact with nature as a technique supporting recovery. Walking and relaxing among the trees allow you to forget about ailments and incapacities. Scientifically proven benefits of this form of therapy include stimulation of immune system, lowering heart rate and production of stress hormone, improvement of mood, sleep and energy level, as well as acceleration of the body’s regeneration process.
