Most people enjoy flowers in any way, shape, or form they can get them. Aside from being pretty, plants have many benefits for a person’s overall health and well-being. Summer is a great time for change, so why not spruce up for house or office with a few more plants. Here are just a few health benefits of having fresh-cut flowers part of your everyday life:
Emotional Health Improvement
Receiving flowers, whether they are sent from another person or you
bought them for yourself, can give you an immediate mood boost. A
bouquet of flowers is a sign that someone cares for you, and being
well-thought of can do a lot for a person’s well-being. A pretty flower
bouquet with bright colors and a soothing scent can brighten a room and
your mood at the same time.
Aid in Memory and Concentration
Many people have a moment where they completely lose their train of
thought. Keeping plants in indoor spaces may help with concentration and
memory; plants oxygenate the air, boosting your brain cells and making
you feel more like your best self. You can opt for a bouquet, or go for a
longer-lasting plant, such as Teleflora’s Peaceful Zen Garden,
a combination of bamboo and easy-to-care-for succulents in a brown
bamboo container. These plants only need water once a week and grow
quickly, making them entertaining, as well as good for supercharging
your brain.
Aid in Relaxation
There is a reason so many stressed-out people turn to gardening to
combat the blues; not only is the experience of growing things
cathartic, but floral scents can do a lot to lower stress. Bring home a
sachet of something soothing like lavender or chamomile and feel your
troubles melt away. Even a fresh sprig of rosemary may help with
headaches and tension. Before you know it, you will find yourself
feeling like your best self.
Feel Better Faster
There is a reason people give flowers as gifts to patients in the
hospital; yes, it’s a nice thing to do, but it may also help a patient
heal faster. Frequently, hospitals include access to green space for
recovering patients because simply looking at plants every day helps
stressed people feel more relaxed. A relaxed person in the hospital
typically heals faster than someone who is stressed out. Give a sick
friend a major boost with a bouquet like Teleflora’s Make a Wish,
a combination of multi-colored daisies, purple asters and red and
orange carnations topped off with a bow. They will feel better in more
ways than one.
