The Science Behind Why Nature Makes Us Feel Better

In our latest podcast, we dive deep into the science and soul of why plants do so much more than brighten a room. From reducing stress to improving memory, studies show that being around greenery literally changes our brains—and our bodies—for the better.

💡 Did you know?

• Nature lowers cortisol levels and blood pressure.
• People who surround themselves with plants report fewer depressive symptoms.
• Forest therapy has higher remission rates for depression than hospital settings.
• Plants can recognize siblings, respond to sound, and even share resources underground.

We also explore biophilia—the innate human tendency to connect with nature—and how simply tending to a houseplant or walking in a park can uplift your mood, sharpen focus, and support healing.

🌸 From lavender that helps with sleep to orchids that rebloom with grace—this episode is a beautiful reminder: nature isn't just outside us. It's part of what makes us well.
