Health Benefits of Indoor Plants

 

Like all great friends, our plant pals help to reduce stress and boost happiness. Plus, they're seriously good looking.

Here at Frond, we're all about the benefits of surrounding yourselves with nature's besties. From cleaner air to improved productivity, we've rounded up our favourite wellness benefits thanks to our Fronds.

 

Hello Happy Plants

 

We all know that getting out and about amongst nature makes us feel better. So it makes sense that bringing a little natural goodness indoors is going to have a similar effect.

And it's official. Studies have shown that simply being around plants can reduce stress levels and improve your mood.

Productive Pals

 

Indoor plants can also improve productivity by helping to reduce distractions and create a more calming, soothing environment, making them a perfect companion for the work or home office, classrooms and even the gym.

In fact, studies have shown that plants in the workplace can increase productivity by up to 15%.

Air Purifying Powers

 

NASA's clean air study showed that indoor plants can help to absorb harmful pollutants like benzene and formaldehyde from the air, while releasing fresh oxygen, helping you to breathe easier and feel more energized in a natural way.

Many plant varieties were shown to have natural air purifying qualities, including the Spider Plant, Devil's Ivy, Peace Lily, Snake Plant & Parlour Palm.

Therapy Sessions

Taking care of your plants can be a relaxing and therapeutic activity. Taking time out of your day to care for others and connect with nature not only gives you the feel goods, but provides a therapeutic outlet to switch off from the day's stresses and allows your mind to focus on something soothing.

Natural Rest & Recovery

Dry air can wreak havoc on your skin, causing dryness, irritation, and even wrinkles. But our indoor plants can help you get your beauty sleep, by releasing moisture into the air, acting as a natural humidifier. So, you can say goodbye to dry, itchy skin and hello to a dewy, youthful glow.

Increased moisture can also help to alleviate symptoms of dry sinuses, headaches, and allergies, and have been shown to improve recovery times in studies.
