18 Benefits of Plants Backed By Leading Research Studies
From purifying the air to alleviating stress and even reducing allergies, plants can have many amazing benefits. Bringing some houseplants into your home can make a huge difference.
And these advantages aren’t just present at home. Even your office workspace can benefit from the presence of plants. They may even help to make the 9 to 5 slog just a bit more bearable.
But the benefits of houseplants also go deeper than just physical comfort. Plants are also good for our mental health, especially in terms of renewing our connection with nature. And in our current climate, that’s more important than ever.
The term, “photo biomodulation” marks the formal acceptance of light therapy into modern conventional medicine. However, the therapy is not new.

If you have questions about the benefits or safety in using light therapy or just like to talk more to us about it call Krystine (our facility director) to chat anytime. You may also schedule a complementary consultation to discuss your specific needs. 813.402.2089
