Research Indicates that Flowers Have A Positive Impact on Emotional Health

A Behavioral Study conducted at Rutgers State University of New Jersey indicated that flowers have an immediate impact on happiness and emotional health. All age groups smiled when being given flowers and reported feeling delighted and gratified. It was also discovered during the 10 month study that flowers have a long-term positive effect on our moods. Participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious, or agitated after receiving flowers as a gift. We have always sensed that flowers make us happy, now science has backed it up!
