Toward A Greener Vitality: How Live Plants Affect Human Health, Clear Indoor Stress and Reanimate Your Cellular Energy - Paperback

by Erin Medlicott (Author)

Toward A Greener Vitality is a practical, science-backed lifestyle guide designed for busy individuals who want to improve their health through indoor plants-without the stress of high-maintenance gardening. The book focuses heavily on several easy-to-maintain houseplants and reveals how spending just a few minutes once a week on simple plant care can significantly lower your cortisol levels, boost daily focus, and dramatically improve indoor air quality right at home.

When you take time to water, remove dead leaves and check the soil, it creates a moment for us to slow down and reconnect with nature. Studies show that people who spend time around plants have reduced stress, improved mood and feel a greater sense of calm. Many people also find that living with healthy greenery makes their home feel more inviting and energizing. Live houseplants can help improve our indoor air quality by increasing humidity through transpiration. And that will make dry indoor air feel more breathable and comfortable, especially during winter months. So for just a couple of minutes each week, caring for indoor plants is a simple habit that can support your well being and at the same time, bring beauty and energized life back into your home.
