The awe we feel in nature can dramatically reduce symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), according to research by UC Berkeley.

Their findings suggest that awe — as opposed to joy, pride, amusement, contentment and other positive emotions — is the singular sensation that goes the furthest in boosting one’s overall sense of well-being.

We written about the benefits of Forest Bathing, and how nature can help those with PTSD, so we've created PTSD UK seedballs that you can scatter the next time you're out in nature to increase your feeling of awe at how Mother Nature works. These seedballs will grow a sea of blue flowers, are really beneficial for bees and butterflies, and are incased in chilli so that the seeds don't get eaten by birds or slugs before they have a chance to grow!

You don't even need to dig up soil to plant them - just scatter them, let nature take it's course and marvel in awe at the natural world around us.
