Blue Mind Therapy

Blue Mind Therapy is a fascinating approach to mental health and well-being that utilizes water. Being near, in, on, or under water can increase levels of certain "feel-good" hormones, such as dopamine and oxytocin, while decreasing stress hormones like cortisol. The therapy aims to improve mental health, reduce stress, increase calm, boost creativity, and enhance professional success.
