The Benefits of Flowers
Healthcare reports credit flowers with the ability to not only brighten one’s mood, but to better one’s health. Floral Philanthropy is a unique, first-in-Canada program, which re-purposes the flowers from your event to bring joy, healing and therapeutic benefit to others.
Research studies have shown that flowers seem to boost brain functioning, enhancing episodic memory in older people. Plus, cardiac patients’ heart rates lowered and attitudes improved substantially when they were exposed to flowers. Findings of this research suggest that plants and flowers in a hospital environment could be non-invasive, inexpensive and an effective complementary medicine for patients recovering from surgical procedures.
Most people report that receiving flowers makes them feel happy and giving flowers makes them feel better about their day.
Flowers offer those who hold them a chance to reconnect with the natural world. This is increasingly difficult to do in our modern society. This is a true testament to “flower power”.
