Known as ”Aromatherapy” is the treatment and prevention, in the broadest sense, of physical and spiritual problems using natural plant-derived aromas. Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment that uses natural plant extracts to promote health and well-being. Aromatherapy uses aromatic essential oils to improve the health of the body, mind and spirit. It improves physical and emotional health. Recognized as both an art and a science, aromatherapy has been increasingly accepted in scientific and medical communities.

‘FOREST BATHING’ is a highly popular practice in Eastern countries, involving the use of all five senses while walking in the forest. It can also be described as a sensory experience of the forest and one’s presence within it. The Black Sea region deserves special recognition for its climate, with its predominantly pine groves serving as a source of natural antibiotics.

The practice of using mineral-rich spring waters for healing is supported by numerous studies highlighting its effectiveness in pain reduction, improving immune function, and providing dermatological benefits. This natural therapy is increasingly recognized as an alternative or complement to traditional medical treatments. Mineral spring therapies offer a unique blend of natural healing, wellness, and cultural immersion, making natural springs sources of health and rejuvenation.

It is a non-medicinal treatment using the microclimate of natural karst caves, benefiting the lungs. Inhalation of air in these caves, with low temperatures of 13.8–14.0°C, low humidity of 15.4–16.0%, and increased CO2 content, activates thermoregulation and accelerates metabolism. Increased air radioactivity, influenced by radon, stimulates adaptive mechanisms, hormone production, and enhances endocrine organs, reducing immunoglobulins and antibodies, increasing T lymphocytes, and enhancing phagocytosis. Elevated negative ions positively affect the nervous and cardiovascular systems. The silence and unique conditions of cave therapy create psycho-emotional comfort.

The rehabilitation medicine program, known as enotherapy or wine treatment, uses red wine extract without ethanol to suppress oxidative stress, a precursor to many diseases, as part of antioxidant therapy. Red wine improves intestinal microbiota and benefits health through its antioxidants, vitamins, and trace elements. Red wine’s high antioxidant activity surpasses other beverages due to its flavonoids, phenolic acids, stilbenes, lignans, proanthocyanidins, and compounds like resveratrol, quercetin, dihydroxytyrosol, melatonin, and aspirin. Red wine extract without ethanol can also be included in therapeutic nutrition.

The healing properties of magnetic fields have been recognized since ancient times; in modern medicine, it is referred to as magnetotherapy. The beaches of Black Sea resorts are known for their special low-intensity magnetic fields, and the black magnetic sand contains a high concentration of magnetite. Exposure to these magnetic fields enhances metabolism in skin cells and accelerates the absorption of iodine and magnesium, which positively affects the central nervous system. This can alleviate fatigue, improve thyroid function, and promote better cellular regeneration.

Horticulture and agriculture therapy often involves group activities such as harvesting, working in olive groves, picking lavender, and creating products. Gardening with neighbors on shared land provides an opportunity to cultivate crops, foster relationships, and enjoy time outdoors.

Animal therapy is a component of ecotherapy, involving interactions with animals in natural settings or on farms (such as horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, and alpacas). Engaging in activities like petting, playing, or caring for these animals provides effective stress management for both young and old alike. It is therefore not surprising that there is a growing number of tourist farms offering animal interactions as a family experience.

Adventure therapy or wilderness therapy involves various outdoor activities such as rafting, climbing, camping, and learning survival skills. While suitable for all age groups, it is particularly recommended for teenagers and young adults dealing with behavioral issues.
