How Flowers Can Brighten Your Home During Winter
Posted by scentandviolet on January 15, 2016
Christmastime is the season of cheer, but for many, the winter blues still persist. Although it may seem a little crazy, science has shown that the decrease in sunlight beginning in the late fall and lasting through the winter can have a drastic effect on your mood. For some people, the lack of sunlight causes the brain to produce less serotonin, which is the chemical most often associated with mood, energy, and weight stability. In extreme cases, this is called seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.
However, even if you don’t suffer from this disorder, it’s not uncommon to feel a little under the weather during the winter months. The combination of cold weather and fewer hours of sunlight in a day is enough to give almost anyone a case of the blues. But, how can we combat these symptoms?
Well, studies have shown that flowers have a positive effect on people’s moods, which is why winter is the perfect season to give the gift of a cheery floral arrangement – or to purchase flowers to display in your own home.
