Gardening and Connecting with Plants: A Natural Healing Therapy for the Human Mind
According to psychologists, when a human being comes in direct contact with nature and trees and plants, the level of stress hormone called cortisol in his body starts falling rapidly. In the fresh morning air, when you water the roots of the plants with your hands and the fragrant aroma of the soil enters through your breath, the secretion of happy hormones like ‘dopamine’ and ‘serotonin’ starts increasing in the brain. This action is exactly the same as felt during a deep meditation or yoga session. Spending just 10 minutes taking care of plants makes a person’s entire day very positive and energetic.
