The power of plants is not evident to the eye as we admire their delicate beauty. But within a flower or plant lies great healing properties. Firstly, flowers and plants placed in a space can give us an intimate connection to mother nature. We can enhance our living spaces by bringing nature’s beauty and brilliance indoors. Secondly, not only are plants and flowers aesthetically appealing, but they also offer health and wellness benefits. In feng shui, adding a plant to the Health area of your home according to the Ba Gua map can help improve your physical health.
Overall, just being in the presence of plants and flowers can increase our feelings of health and happiness. Flowers are known for generating feelings of happiness and decreasing feelings of stress. Adding a pretty bouquet of flowers to your space, whether work or home, can brighten your mood, bring peace to your heart, and put a smile on your face.
Flower Power
With so many healing plants for the home to choose from it may be hard to pick the right ones for your space. There are flowers and plants that can purify the air, reduce stress, remove toxins, heal cuts and wounds, or enhance concentration. So let’s simplify it and take a look at a few plants and flowers that can bring a little special to your space. Flowers can provide vibrant colors and sweet smells to any room. Roses are found to enhance concentration and allow us to feel more relaxed and clear headed. The delightful smell of those roses can also bring feelings of loving tenderness. Orchids are another gorgeous flower whose lively colors stimulate joy and positive feelings. Lavender, with it’s beautiful shades of purple, can add a calming aromatic influence to your space. Of course, if you have a favorite flower that brings you joy, treat yourself and make it a part of your living space. Consider it an inexpensive way to incorporate a little self-care!
Plants Purify Air
The power of plants includes the ability to filter the air we breathe making them so important to us. A few of the best plants for purifying the air and filtering toxins indoors include the snake plant, peace lily, spider plant, English ivy, aloe vera, and golden pothos. Additionally, there are plants such as the snake plant and spider plant, along with gardenia, lavender, aloe vera, and jasmine, that are great for creating a relaxing atmosphere. Consider using one or several of these plants in the bedroom or bathroom. Next, let’s give extra praise for the aloe vera plant!! It does triple duty as a proven healer of skin wounds such as burns, cuts, and scrapes. So it’s always a good idea to add an aloe vera plant into the mix.
Lastly, for those of us without a green thumb (me lol)…there’s the oh so cute and trendy succulents and cactus! Easy maintenance and hard to kill yet with all the benefits of adding greenery to your living space. Sounds like my kind of a plant!
