Flowers cure physical pain

Bringing flowers to a sick or injured person is an ancient tradition, and now, research has shown that the flowers’ bright colors and wonderful aromas have a noticeable effect on healing and recovery. Scientists have discovered that flowers sent to patients in hospitals reduce the need for painkillers and even shorten recovery time. Some flowers also contribute to lowering blood pressure and heart rate.

Floral aromas have a stronger influence than previously thought

An experiment designed to test the effect of the smell of flowers on humans led researchers to find that even a faint whiff of flowers has the ability to strengthen positive emotions and affect our subconscious considerably.

Flowers convey openness and acceptance

When you enter a home full of colorful flowers, you will immediately feel the household conveys openness, understanding and acceptance of others.

Different colors have different effects

Our brain analyzes each color differently and therefore each one has a unique effect on our mood, feelings and thoughts. You can match the flower arrangement to the atmosphere you want to create - yellow tones contribute to a nurturing environment and enhance other colors. Pink and purple will provide a romantic atmosphere and red hues enhance sensual experiences. For a calm environment, use blues, while the combination of several bright colors will create a fun atmosphere.

Flowers banish negative feelings

Anxiety, stress, worry and even primary symptoms of depression - can all be treated with flowers. Flowers will highlight the best in your life and push away negative thoughts. Flower cultivation will give you a sense of self-satisfaction and when they bloom, they will provide you with feelings of joy and fulfillment.
