Use Flowers to Improve Your Health

Do you know that flowers can not only decorate our living spaces, but according to a scientific research conducted at Rutgers University, flowers can also improve our emotional health?

According to this research, which took 10 months and involved many participants, flowers can have three impacts on our emotional heath.

1. Flowers can bring happiness. This is no surprise. Most people will smile when they receive flowers and bouquets, won’t they? This research has shown that the smiles people show upon receiving flowers are excited and true smiles, and this applies to all age groups, no matter how old or how young the participants are.

2. Flowers can change our mood positively. Yes, seeing flowers around can indeed make us feel less depressed and more satisfied. Next time when your friends or family feel depressed, you might consider sending them some flowers to release their stress. Also, if feel depressed or stressful, you can buy flowers to yourself as a gift to cheer yourself up!

3. Flowers can improve personal relationships. Maybe that’s why we always bring flowers to our dates, friends and family members? So, next time if you can’t decide what gifts to bring when you visit someone, maybe you can think about flowers!

Although it’s a common knowledge that flower can make people happy, this research has added a scientific foundation to this fact. Let’s thank the nature for offering us such as gift! With the knowledge that flowers can improve our emotional health, maybe we should pay more visits to the flower shop on the corner of the streets!
