Despite this, I continue to buy plants and little by little I have learned to take care of them, reading and learning about the care they need in order to grow. I will not give up! And even more so now that I know the psychological benefits that I can take advantage of by having them in my home.
The solution to good health
Plants not only beautify a place because they are beautiful, but they are ideal for curing some diseases since many of them have medicinal properties that are used in many pharmaceutical products.

There are people who talk to their plants as a way to get rid of their problems and concerns. That's how my grandmother was! She always told me that plants are good company, that we should talk to them and caress them because they are living beings, that one another way they feel.
Of course, we cannot compare plants with people or pets, however, they are ideal for venting our emotions and feelings. Talk to them nicely and thank them for being with you to brighten up your space! even if there is no scientific reason.

Many times noise can be the cause that releases stress; when there is a lot of noise people can't concentrate, they get easily irritated and get discouraged; It can even cause intense headaches.
Plants dampen noise inside your house and also outside as they are acoustic absorbers. For that reason, you will feel more relaxed, concentrated, and with encouragement; since you will be able to carry out your duties without feeling the stress.

It is advisable to have plants inside your room, such as lavender, valerian, jasmine, gardenia, rosemary or aloe vera since all of these are great allies to eliminate germs and eliminate air pollutants particles.
Many of these plants have natural benefits that induce relaxation and sleep, as they will reduce your blood pressure and stress levels, helping you to concentrate better. This is achieved when we smell their peculiar perfumes and aromas.

It is rare to find a person who does not like plants, for this reason having them in your home will help you have more social contact.
With the simple act of asking for advice so that the plants do not die, teaching how to transplant, exchange seeds, or compare them, they will force you to have an interaction with other people.
Many times we can have more friends when we meet people who share our hobbies, interests, and tastes for plants. Remember there will always be people willing to share their knowledge.
8. They help you focus
Plants are ideal for studying and concentrating, improving creativity. Due to their multiple colors, aromas, and shapes, they awaken concentration, improving the environment; since they provide the sensation of breathing fresh air, raising our energy and well-being.
