Sweden has introduced a groundbreaking healthcare initiative that allows doctors to prescribe travel as part of a patient’s treatment plan. The program focuses on short, restorative trips, especially to natural environments, for people experiencing stress, burnout, or mild mental health challenges.

This approach is backed by research showing that time spent in nature can significantly reduce cortisol levels, improve mood, and enhance emotional resilience. Swedish health authorities view travel not as luxury, but as a structured therapeutic tool when used intentionally.

Some travel costs may be partially covered through national health insurance, depending on medical need. This reflects Sweden’s broader healthcare philosophy that prevention and lifestyle-based care can reduce long-term medical burden.

The initiative aligns with studies in environmental psychology, which show that changes in environment can reset stress responses, improve sleep quality, and support cognitive recovery. Nature exposure has been linked to improved attention, lower anxiety, and faster emotional regulation.

While still in early stages, the program signals a shift toward integrating lifestyle medicine into formal healthcare systems. It recognizes that healing does not always happen in clinics, but sometimes through meaningful experiences and time away from chronic stressors.
