Soil isn’t just for plants! Touching soil actually releases seretonin in the brain🧠#garden #soil
A short German-language YouTube video (uploaded March 28, 2025, by Nicole Johnsey Burke) claiming that touching soil changes brain chemistry similarly to an antidepressant because soil contains a specific bacterium that triggers serotonin (the 'Glückshormon') release. The clip presents this as a direct, causal health benefit of gardening/soil contact.
