Researchers are showing more and more that plants and flowers not only enliven a sterile hospital room but that flowers indeed, improve a patient's mood and shorten recovery time from surgery. Study participants in a Rutgers University research on the effects of flowers in a hospital room reported that they felt less depressed, less anxious and less agitated with flowers around. Most of us already know the gentle power of flowers to improve our sense of well being. According to Dr. Robert Ulrich, an environmental psychologist, plants and flowers around a sick person can trigger endorphin production, improve blood pressure, decrease stress and anxiety and decrease a persons need for pain medication.
People and plants have a symbiotic relationship in the life cycle. Plants bring out oxygen as a by-product of their metabolism while plants take in carbon dioxide and nitrogen from hum an emissions to become part of their building block.
