Indoor plants: where to put them to feel better

Flowers, succulents and indoor trees are not just a way to decorate the interior. They can be turned into a wellness tool and used to relieve stress, strengthen the immune system, or finally improve sleep.

Houseplants are the best way to reconnect with nature without leaving your home. While we were in quarantine, psychologists noticed an interesting trend. Many people have become interested in gardening or growing indoor flowers. And it was they who experienced less anxiety and stress.

In general, flowers really help us cope with feelings of anxiety and not forget about unity with nature, even during online conferences. The main thing is to know what to put in the bedroom or bathroom in order to maintain emotional well-being. 

Kitchen 

A sacred place that is directly related to the simplest, but such an exciting magical ritual – cooking. Small pots with spicy aromatic herbs will be appropriate here: mint, sage, rosemary and oregano. They contain a lot of essential oils, which subtly flavor the air and help to cope with overly strong food odors. But lavender has no place in the kitchen – its smell is too strong, so it will interrupt your appetite.

Be sure to try using fragrant herbs to make a delicious medicinal tea. Peppermint helps to get rid of insomnia and stomach cramps, rosemary fights indigestion, oregano and sage are great for sore throats.

Bathroom 

High humidity and low light levels are two bathroom problems that make it not suitable for all plants. Plants that love moisture and are afraid of bright sunlight will feel good here. Chlorophytum, havortia, ferns and Krauss moss will feel great here.

They fill the house with calm and tranquility: just what you need if you often hear from your friends that they use the hot tub as a home spa, but you still can't completely relax and forget about the problems while sitting in it. Chlorophytum and ferns also help get rid of chronic respiratory diseases. Pay attention to them if you often suffer from allergic cough or exacerbations of bronchitis!

Bedroom

We spend almost a third of our lives sleeping. Quality sleep plays a key role in restoring the body and maintaining the beauty of the skin. And plants can help create a comfortable space that promotes relaxation and falling asleep quickly. Bonsai gardenia with a delicate creamy aroma, fragrant mint pelargonium and geranium – what you need for a deep healthy sleep!

The refreshing smell of geranium with notes of rose soothes the nervous system. The aroma of gardenia strengthens relationships in a couple. And pelargonium helps restore energy balance.

Living room

The living room is great for placing trees in large pots. For example, lemon or tangerine: they purify the air of pathogenic bacteria and increase concentration. "Dragon tree" or Hooker's dracaena is suitable for the role of an air filter. It cleans it by 70% of benzene, ammonia and formaldehyde, which can be released from flooring and furniture. The best organic investment in clean air!
