Plants that uplift your mood

Plants can not only increase humidity of the air, but can also improve the comfort of office workers, create an enjoyable atmosphere, and intensify our resistance to stress.

American researchers found that hospital patients who had windows overlooking green areas needed less pain-killers and recovered more quickly than those watching concrete blocks from their beds all day.

In 1995 a Norwegian research team followed changes in the workplace mood and health-complaints of two groups of office workers. They observed that placing more plants in the air-space decreased the frequency of health-complaints (tiredness, headache, drying of the skin and mycoderm) by 20-30 % among people working in the office.
