While we all know that we enjoy receiving flowers, it has now been established scientifically that flowers are good for your health as well.
The sight and aroma of flowers has an immediate effect on your mood and causes the release of endorphins - those "happy hormones" that your body creates.
These hormones not only induce an overall feeling of well being, but also decrease your stress levels that cause elevated blood pressures and a plethora of other non-healthy symptoms.
A study conducted at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, demonstrated that flowers have a positive impact on your moods in a healthy and natural way.
Another study conducted by Dr.
Roger Ulrich, showed that patients recovering from gallbladder surgery that had flowers to view, had shorter hospital stays and received fewer analgesics than those that did not.
Research at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute further indicated that the presence of flowers enhances communication, restores mental fatigue and promotes a good sense of self esteem.
Flowers have also been known to decrease bouts of mild depression.
If you live in dry areas, placing flowers and plants around the home not only adds to the rooms beauty, but actually increases humidity thereby decreasing the negative effects of dry air such a colds and bronchitis.
With all this evidence in place, what are you waiting for? Order the person you love a dose of good health! While you are at it, get one for yourself as well.
The natural gift of health - flowers!
