The impact of flowers on our wellbeing.
You don’t need to be a flower enthusiast to appreciate flowers and how they can instantly make us feel good.
Flowers have the power to change our mood, chase away any negative worries or blues, or even help us recover quicker. A bunch of blooms can help us have a more positive outlook on life, boosting energy and happiness and it can also evoke the that something special is on your way.
Did you know when you receive flowers, your blood pressure lowers and your fatigue decreases? When you see, buy, or receive flowers, dopamine is released and makes you feel better.
If you have a very stressful job or work from home, having flowers in a room can have a positive impact on your health and well-being. Simply being around them can lift our spirits, increase happy emotions, improve social behaviour, and encourage feelings of life satisfaction.
We have outlined some reasons to surround yourself with blooms, today.
UNLEASH YOUR INNER PICASSO
Studies have shown that being in nature or having flowers at home can help boost positivity and creativity.
Surround yourself with flowers and get cracking with your creative idea today. I can’t remember the exact moment when I fell in love with flowers, but let’s be honest, what’s not to love? Flowers can say so much; from bringing much-needed joy and comfort to being part of a joyous occasion.
BYE BYE BLUES
Flowers can chase away anxieties, worries, and the blues, making people feel less depressed, troubled, or agitated. Research has found that having different plants and flowers in the home makes us feel more positive.
BUILD BETTER BUDDIES
A study has found that the more time people spent around flowers the more compassion they had for others. It’s not just the act of being around nature either, giving and receiving flowers has a positive impact on relationships - as they say, when words aren’t enough, say it with flowers!
NATURAL REMEDY
Patients in hospital rooms with flowers need less pain medication, are less anxious, and have lower blood pressure and pulse rates than patients in rooms without. Research in Tokyo shows physiologically measurable beneficial effects from observing roses for as little as four minutes.
BOLD BRIGHT BLOOMS
Being around nature can improve our energy levels so, why not bring a bunch of beautiful flowers into your home? Not only will they brighten your space they will also make you feel more energetic.
