Science has proven over & over again that indoor plants can improve the quality of your life β making you happier and healthier. Here are some health benefits that you should know
π BOOST PRODUCTIVITY
Research consistently finds adding plants to the workplace decreases stress & increases productivity. Studies have found bringing plants into the workplace increased productivity by 15%!
π HELP YOU RECOVER FROM ILLNESS FASTER
Simply having indoor plants around you may speed your recovery from an illness or injury. In some studies it has been revealed that patients without greenery in their rooms recovered slower, needed more pain medication & their blood pressure was higher than those that had some greenery in their rooms. Having plants around us creates a natural, living sanctuary in which we feel safe and protected
π PLANTS CAN BE THERAPEUTIC Indoor gardening can help improve anxiety, dementia, depression, and other conditions. Plants help to increase our levels of positivity and make us feel more secure and relaxed. They can also help with loneliness and depression. Caring for a living thing gives us a purpose and is rewarding, especially when a plant you have been lovingly caring is thriving, not just surviving.
π IMPROVES AIR QUALITY
A NASA study concluded that indoor plants can improve air quality and reduce airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) significantly.
π REDUCE NOISE LEVELS
Yes, itβs real! Indoor plants can absorb up to 50% of the sound energy in your home or workplace. There are three ways indoor plants can reduce noise levels: deflection, absorption, and refraction. Either they bounce and break the sound into other forms of energy, absorb it, or eliminate the echoes.
π REDUCE STRESS LEVELS Incorporating indoor plants into your home and workplace has been shown to reduce stress. Plants were once (and still are) essential to human survival. Today, this innate connection to them can be observed by an overall reduction of stress and improvement of calmness and wellbeing, which in turn has positive effects on each individual.
