This study aims to explore innovative approaches and methods for integrating philosophical allegories with natural healing environments. By employing virtual reality technology, it seeks to revitalize classical literature while simultaneously delivering therapeutic experiences. The research first conducts a systematic review of theories related to immersive digital art in the context of natural healing, evaluating its feasibility and application trends. An interactive experience design model for immersive natural healing is then developed. The allegory Zhuang Zhou’s Butterfly Dream serves as the narrative blueprint for constructing a VR story. By integrating sensory design and user experience elements, the blueprint is transformed into a story-driven immersive healing experience. Finally, users are guided to perceive and engage with the natural healing experience through digital art. The proposed approach creates an immersive therapeutic experience that provides users with a distinctive sense of relaxation for both body and mind. This study successfully combines the allegory of Zhuang Zhou’s Butterfly Dream with natural healing by integrating therapeutic factors such as plant metaphors and emotional resonance. Through the application of VR technology, it introduces an interaction design model that unifies philosophical allegories and experiential elements. The results validate the feasibility of employing VR-based methods in digital art and natural healing, offering valuable insights for integrating philosophical narratives with emerging technologies in interactive design.
