Flowers Have Healing Benefits

According to a new study the plants and flowers in hospital rooms posses healing properties, in particular for those who are recovering from surgery.

It was made a study on 90 patients recovering from appendectomy. They were assigned to different hospital rooms, some rooms were with flowers, while other had no plants at all.

During this study doctors made notes on recovery period, heart rate level, and temperature, blood pressure, perceived level of pain, fatigue and anxiety levels.

Thus, it was found out that patients living in rooms with plants had faster recovery from abdominal surgery, took fewer medicines against pain, and had lower anxiety levels.  In fact, these patients were much more satisfied.
