It is always great to see plants on gardens, but now scientists believe that the benefits, both visual and physical will be doubled once you bring it inside. A team of NASA scientists has proved that growing certain plants in your interiors will dramatically protect you from illness, thereby enhancing your overall wellbeing. The presence of plants in the interiors will help in reducing anxiety, stress and to reduce airborne pollutants.
A remedy to the harms of city life
People in the modern world are leading a very fast-paced life, and they are not getting enough time to stay close to nature. Most of the city dwellers spent most of their times inside rooms, and bringing outside plants to the interiors will literally bring back the healing strength of nature to our households.
The study claims that workers tend to be more productive when they are surrounded by greeneries. Pain management among patients also fetched better results when there is a plant on the ward.
Many studies have proved that pollutants are causing thousands of death a year. Plants trap and filter the pollutants, which will make the people living there less prone to illness.
