There’s something undeniably uplifting about flowers. Their vibrant colors, delicate petals, and subtle fragrances have a way of brightening our day. Flowers have scientifically been proven to influence how we feel. Whether given as a gift or simply enjoyed in our surroundings, flowers can spark joy, calm our minds, and even improve our overall well-being. In this blog, we’ll explore how they impact our mood and why they’re a staple for so many occasions.
Immediate Emotional Benefits
Research shows receiving flowers elicits “true” or “excited” smiles, demonstrating universal delight across all age groups. Women who received flowers reported more positive moods three days later.
Additionally, it’s been proven that flowers stimulate senses that release mood-enhancing neurochemicals. According to an article in Psychology Today, “Dopamine is triggered by the expectation of a reward. Flowers were a huge reward signal in the world our brain evolved in because they marked the coming of abundance after a hungry winter.”
As a whole, flowers and mood are inextricably linked. They offer a comforting, mood-enhancing reassurance, no matter the occasion.
Long-Term Psychological Effects
Flowers can also provide long-term psychological benefits. Flowers presented to participants aged 55 and older elicited positive mood reports and improved episodic memory. Research from the University of North Florida found that people who lived with flowers in their homes reported a significant decrease in their stress levels.
