When we return to nature, we return to ourselves

When we return to nature, we return to ourselves

Since we started Koala Eco five years ago, the business has become about so much more than making safe, powerful, plant-based products for a clean home, body and mind. It’s become a mission to find ways to bring more nature into everyone’s lives, every day.

Because from our own experiences, we know that a deep, sustained and daily connection to nature makes us feel so much better in a variety of ways. Calmer. Happier. More at peace with the world, and yet also more alert and alive. More connected to and appreciative of the places we live, the people we love. 

Through ongoing research, science is now catching up with ancient and living Traditional Owner wisdom that connecting with nature is more than a ‘nice to have’ part of our lives – it plays a key role in our ongoing health and well-being at every stage of life. 

Developing and maintaining a connection with nature is something we’re passionate about at Koala Eco. As a purpose-led brand inspired by and centred around the natural world, a core part of our mission is to aid our community in connecting with and experiencing nature. A connection with nature enhances mental, physical, and emotional well-being. More Nature, Feel Better ®

 

Ecopsychology - why spending time in nature is good for your mental health.

Research around the link between nature and our mental health and well-being has led to the rise of "ecopsychology". It acknowledges the inherent emotional connection between humans and nature and seeks to foster and expand this relationship. The concept also proposes that many instances of psychological distress are caused by our alienation from and complicity in the destruction of nature.
