Summary:
"
Plant
Therapy
showcases the theory behind the recent surge in the 'self-care' approach to living with plants, no matter what
your
environment. We all know that being in or surrounded by nature is good for our health, but few of us take the time to understand why. As urbanization swallows up ecosystems, and humans move away from the environments they've adapted to, it has never been more important to understand the relationship between plants and people. Broken down into five chapters: The Human-Nature Relationship, Plants and Health, Plants and People, Living with Plants and an informative
Plant
Directory, the book first explains
how
we have come to exist in an environment that is at odds with our
mental
,
emotional
and physical needs, then explores
how
we
can
readjust this balance, before showcasing plants that help us to breathe, restore balance, and boost our
wellbeing
. A stylish yet practical book,
Plant
Therapy
brings together two major trends -- house plants and
wellbeing
-- and enhances the value of both through making clear their connection with one another. When research has shown that the presence of plants
can
decrease blood pressure, increase productivity, and calm anxiety, both at home and at work, why wouldn't you pick up this book and create
your
own calming
oasis
