Hi,
I went to visit a friend in the hospital the other day, and I happened to go
into the florist shop they had there. I don't know what it is about such
places, but as soon as I entered, I felt very calm and soothed. Just being
in the presence of so many flowers and green plants was refreshing. So I
bought a plant for my friend, and she was delighted to have something
natural to look at in her sterile room.
Since then, I've run across research that indicates that the presence of
houseplants and flowers can have a beneficial effect on our physical and
emotional well-being. Certainly, plants are used in the Chinese art of Feng
Shui as bringers of living energy. And scientifically, it is known that
houseplants help remove harmful chemicals from the air, absorb noise, lessen
dust, and increase moisture in the air.
But did you know, that studies have shown that plants also help lower blood
pressure, aid in concentration, and improve memory? And it has been found
that having flowers in the home boosts your mood and energy level, and
people report being happier and more enthusiastic at home and at work.
So there's certainly an incentive to share your living space with green
plants and flowers. Even if you don't have a green thumb, there are many
simple houseplants that are easy to care for. And you don't need an
expensive floral arrangement, you can easily pick up a small bunch of
flowers at your local market – whatever strikes your fancy at the time.
So I guess that old slogan about "flower power" is truer than i thought!
