Aromatherapy and Massage

A study in the Journal of Environmental Psychology found that plants have the ability to boost your mood, lower stress and reduce fatigue. Adding a potted plant to your home or office is an uplifting decoration change. Don’t have a green thumb? No worries. We’ve got a list of easy-to-care-for plants that even you couldn’t kill.

African Violet
These fuzzy plants love humidity, so put them in your bathroom or kitchen. Their cute purple flowers are bright and cheery. If the blooms stop coming, add a drop of fertilizer and they’ll come back with little effort.

Ferns
These plants are easy to care for. They’re happy just about anywhere, including your office, but they need medium light. The Boston fern is a good variety that’s great for those with a brown thumb.

Ivy plants
If you’re looking for a plant that can sprawl across your windowsill or shelf, an ivy plant will do the trick. They don’t flower, but they have shiny green leaves that are pleasing to look at.

Palms
This is probably the most popular houseplant. They’ll get pretty tall; so make sure you have some room in a well-lit room. Just water weekly and the palm will stick around for years.

While plants can help prevent long-term stress, if you’re in need of immediate relief, stop by our office for a massage. An hour long massage will reset your stress level in no time.
