Have you ever noticed the instant joy that you feel when you visit your nearby garden? One of the strong reasons behind that joy is the smell of various plants and flowers. It is now scientifically proven that the different fragrances play a key role in influencing your mood.

There is a close connection between oxygen and stress. When you are stressed you have a stifling feeling. That’s why living in a stifled ambiance, lacking adequate oxygen supply can induce stress.

They offer you sufficient oxygen to breathe freely and thus induce a feeling of well-being.

The soil used in the house plants contain a reasonable amount of M.Vaccae that plays the dual role of stress busters and mood enhancers.
Apart from oxygen, plants also release phytoncides that shield them from a number of diseases. But at the same time, they also have a certain positive effect on your immune system too. They also work as aromatherapy for stressed neurons. That is why we can notice the palpable effects on our mood when we are engaged in trimming or watering plants.
In the medicinal field, there is a particular therapy called horticultural therapy.

Over a certain period of time, a quaint relation develops between a man and plants that boost the confidence and nurture the mind. It also offers a feeling of bonding. As your attention is diverted to taking care of plants, you don’t reflect on disturbing thoughts that result in stress. Besides, you also get a certain feeling of achievement when the plants grow due to your efforts.
