The Physical Health Benefits of Flowers


It is widely known that the sight of flowers can boost people’s moods, but they also present physical health benefits. Whether you are suffering from a cold or from high blood pressure, chances are that there is a flower that can help to alleviate your symptoms, and these days you can even send flowers by post -  The following are just a few of many that can help people stave off common ailments.
Begonias. Boil the flowers in water, add a dash of cinnamon, and the mixture can function as a body cleanse that flushes out toxins.
Jasmine. This works as both aromatherapy and as a tea. Both of these help to alleviate stress; however, people who consume it as a tea should note that it should not be taken in large quantities, especially in pregnant women, and it should not be taken in the evening as too much of it before bedtime can cause insomnia.
Small daisies. These are used to treat chronic bronchitis as they allow for easier breathing. It can be consumed as a tea by adding one teaspoon of chopped flowers to 100 ml of boiling water.
Other flowers with physically healing properties include marigold, which has antiseptic and antifungal properties, and hibiscus, which can help to lower hypertension (high blood pressure). There are many flowers that can help people to ward off cold and flu symptoms, including chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, nasturtium, yarrow, and sunflower. 
The therapeutic properties of the above-  mentioned flowers have been trusted for thousands of years in many cultures. However, it is important to note that if symptoms persist or worsen after the use of any at-home herbal remedy, you should seek professional medical attention.
