PLANTS MAKE US FEEL GOOD

-

Studies have shown that indoor plants reduce stress and mental fatigue as well as increasing pain tolerance. They also significan­tly increase productivi­ty and mental alertness (something we could all benefit from).

So if you want your home to be a happy, healthy space with less sickness and stress, having plenty of plants around is your best bet. Remember that plants are living organisms so they need light, food and water. And make sure you do your homework and choose plants that filter the air efficientl­y (see suggestion­s, right).
