Abstract:
Nature has been venerated since ancient times for its beneficial effects
on human health from a holistic point of view. With the progress of science and
technology, man has forgotten to look for healing in nature, sanitary facilities
evolving in to a real industrial plant for health, the rigour of medical
procedures and specialty of pharmaceutical synthesis products exclude almost
brutal in most cases anything can we called healing effect of nature through
what she gives us. Studies on the subject have demonstrated curative role of
landscape and gave a new direction on designing medical centers. According
with that, recently appeared so-called „therapeutic gardens” and „healing
gardens”. This paper illustrates this tendency of returning to the therapeutic
effects of the nature and compares the achievements of international medical
centers with the first steps taken in the same direction in Romania.
