Plants aid in the process of healing?
What they do
Have you ever noticed after walking into a hotel lobby or doctor's office you feel a sense of ease wash over you? It’s not just the relief of getting to your hotel room or getting a check up. It is scientifically proven that having plants surrounding us reduces stress levels almost instantly, which is exactly why plants are added to the decorum of a space.
Plants and or greenery makes us instinctively feel more at ease thus relives stress, boost creativity, promotes health and recovery.

Why plants? Why humans?
“We evolved on earth amongst the grasslands surrounded by trees and plants… It is no wonder they make us feel at home—for eons they have fed our bodies and our souls.” says John Beirne, HTR, horticultural therapy instructor at the New York Botanical Garden.
As humans, we pour our efforts into taking care of a few house plants to hundreds beautiful plants that fill conservatories because we yearn for caring for a living thing that gives us so much inner peace and purpose. And nothing feels quite like when you see something you care for bloom and thrive because of your efforts.
Mentally and Physically
Several studies have measured people’s blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormones while they handled a tough task or were under mental stress. Being introduced into a green space shortly after quickly brought on a calming effect for them.
So, whether you live in a small apartment or a large house, introducing certain plants into your home, you will start to notice improvements to your health and over all happiness. As well as enhancing your mood and creating a living space that is soothing to be in.
