If you are spending time (with or without chronic disease) in Naples, Florida you may be unaware of why they feel so darn good most of the time. You may think it is the good company, the warm temperature, the beach, the tennis, or the golf. And this may be. 

There are another million tiny reasons for your enhanced feeling of well-being. These reasons are drifting around you in the Naples air. 

Powerful tree air compounds float into Naples from the Everglades. These tree aerosols combine with the local tree molecules. This is a potent mix. Rocket fuel. 

Tree Aerosols Are A Natural Pharmacy 

The research on the health benefits of tree air is not studied enough. We can’t bottle tree air. There is no money in it. But university based peer reviewed research is leading the way on the benefits of spending time near trees. 

My website Treesmendus.com shares the health benefits of tree air research results. Tree aerosols are not my secret — everyone should know about them. 

My blog posts  relate aging beautifully with chronic illnesses to getting the most of tree air compounds. 

The air around all trees is antiviral, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic. Tree aerosols are a natural pharmacy. 

Trees give off these health-giving compounds to protect themselves.

Trees cannot run away from danger. In defence, trees produce chemical compounds which protect them from destructive elements.

No Wonder Everyone in Naples, Florida is Smiling

The air around The Florida Everglades is unique. The sheer diversity of the plants and trees in this area guarantee a powerful tree air cocktail. 

Conifers give off the most tree air biochemicals. Naples has pine trees and other evergreens. Tropical mangroves have a different structure than all other trees. Naples has mangroves. Tall cypress trees that love to stand in water, grow in Naples. Add these to all the sub tropical and tropical species that grow in and around Naples. 

The area around Naples is rich in tree aerosols. These health-giving tree aerosols drift down from a mixed tree canopy. Trees in and around Naples are tropical, subtropical, and North American trees. Think of Naples as the United Nations of tree species. 

This tree and plant biodiversity pay us in huge health and happiness dividends. All we have to do is breathe. 

Each time Naples residents and visitors are outside they are breathing in tree air therapy. And outside is the way of life in Naples. Here we play, swim, read, and eat outside. The national average of spending 93% of our time inside appears not to apply in Naples. No wonder everyone in Naples is smiling. 

Age with Grace and Beauty like an Orchid in Naples

The air in and around Naples is so rich that plants can live on the air. Wild and beautiful orchids live in trees. Here orchids spend their entire life up in the trees. They get their nutrients through aerial roots in the air surrounding the trees. Orchids get their nutrients from the air, the rain, and the organic material around them.

Let’s do the same. Let’s live and breathe like orchids. 

See the Trees in Naples With New Eyes

While in Naples, let’s “drink in the wild tree air” as Thoreau invites us to do. Let’s spend more time near trees. Let’s take our deepest breath of the day around trees. 

And together let’s treasure this dividend: tree air. Let’s soak in the health-giving compounds. Let’s feel better if we have a chronic disease. Let’s live and age with the grace and beauty of an orchid. Let’s breathe like orchids. 

Let’s share a tree air cocktail in Naples, Florida together soon.
