After all, Nuzhat Ara Chowdhury once quipped that “Flowers are probably the best gift created by God which can heal our mood with their beauty and fragrance.” Here are 7 types of flowers you can purchase for your home today.
- Lavender
Lavenders are a no-brainer when it comes to their calming effects – not just scent-wise but also in their soothing purple hues. Studies have shown that a lavender's fragrance can help with high blood pressure, menopausal hot flashes and insomnia. Even without these ailments, what’s not to love about the lavender?
- Peace Lily
Peace lilies are indoor plants that can improve your air quality up to 60%. Not only do they help to reduce the levels of mould spores and pollutants in your home, they also bring peace, good health and fortune to whoever receives it! Perfect in the eyes of mothers and grandmothers!
- Chrysanthemum
As Sian Wild (owner of The Flower Lounge) said, “Chrysanthemums can reduce stress and anxiety levels.” These commonly heard of flowers go way back in time, as ancestors have long discovered and treasured Chrysanthemum for its benefits.
- Roses
Ever heard of the cliché “Don’t forget to stop and smell the roses”? Well, it’s not just about smelling them, but seeing them too. Feast your eyes on these sophisticated beauties as they being comfort and character to your space. A study in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology even stated that office workers who looked at roses felt more relaxed as compared to those who did not.
- Orchids
A must have as demanded by the Feng Shui believers. They bloom all year round and bring great positive energy into your house with their diverse mood-enhancing colours beyond just the familiar white and purple.
- Tulips
Other than loving them for their hearty stem and beautiful head, many have lauded Tulips for their ability to boost brain power, lower depression levels, and medicinal benefits on skin sensitivities.
- Sunflowers
These vibrant creations that smile no matter rain or shine will motivate you to do the same. Its radial expansion and cheerful yellow can’t help but do the trick. Send these flowers over to someone who needs a mood lift today!
