Health benefits of plants in the office
Plants have played an important role for humans for hundreds of years. Whether as medicine, for food or to cover certain nutrients , we have trusted in the effects of plants for many generations. In the late 1980s, space explorers were looking for a way to purify the air in enclosed spaces (like a space station). Here, too, there is a quick choice of different plants .
Due to their air-purifying effect, plants in the office are a real must-have for your health today, but there are also many other advantages for your body and mind:
- Better ability to concentrate: Researchers have found out in several experiments that the better air quality thanks to the plants in your office also improves your concentration
- Lower stress level: The green color of plants and the better air ensure that you stay fit and motivated even on longer days
- Fewer pollutants: Through various processes, plants filter many pollutants from the room air, which can otherwise damage you in the long term. The air quality improves enormously
- Higher humidity: Dry indoor air quickly leads to eye irritation or dry skin/lips for many people. The plants increase the humidity and thus create a pleasant indoor climate even in winter
- Fewer headaches: Plants also clean the air when it is dammed up in the room. This helps to stay fit even when you can't ventilate
Optical & psychological effects of plants in the office
In addition to the direct and demonstrable health benefits, having plants in the office has many other benefits. They beautify a room , making for a better overall picture and calming environment. Plants have a particularly quick effect on the psyche , in this paragraph we look at the specific advantages they benefit from.
