Healing with the fragrance of flowers
Today, I will explain in detail about the aspects of health preservation and health care. The healing power of the fragrance of flowers is as follows: let me give you a detailed explanation.
In an ancient book called "The Memoirs of Kaiyuan and Tianbao," it is written that the Empress Yang, with her natural beauty, knew how to use fresh flowers for health preservation and healthcare. Normally, she liked to walk under the flower trees in the morning, sucking the dew from the flowers to moisten her lungs and maintain her appearance. She also often picked flowers with Emperor Tang Minghuang, enjoying their fragrance together. They especially loved the peony flowers in early summer, believing that peonies could "dispel worries and also sober up from drinking."
Using flowers to prevent and treat diseases has been recorded in many ancient Chinese medical books, involving dozens of different flowers. It is evident that the practice of using flowers to treat diseases is not a modern phenomenon. However, at that time, the method of "using flowers as medicine" mainly involved internal consumption and external application. Now, the use of the fragrance of flowers to achieve health preservation and therapeutic effects has evolved.
Research suggests that the fragrance of flowers can improve people's attention and increase work efficiency. Some flowers (such as jasmine) have a relaxing effect on people; others (like chrysanthemum) provide a cooling sensation. Placing bouquets of blooming flowers in the dining room can promote the secretion of gastric acid, thereby increasing appetite.
In the former Soviet Union, there was a famous "health" park, the world's first resort area for treating diseases with flowers. Patients could walk a certain amount in front of the flowers or perform medical gymnastics on special equipment in front of the flowers, smell the fragrance more, and thus alleviate or cure their diseases. Diseases that can be treated with the fragrance of flowers include cardiovascular diseases, asthma, high blood pressure, liver cirrhosis, and neurasthenia. This "health" park has received millions of visitors and has been praised by medical delegations from many countries.
In the United States, there is a psychiatric hospital that uses "horticultural therapy," which involves letting patients plant flowers, smell the fragrance, and enjoy greenery. Experts report that this method has good results, as it "can awaken patients who have been in a state of mental numbness for a long time."
In France, for hundreds of years, the flowers of lavender have been used as a family remedy. They can be used to treat nervous palpitations, flatulence, and periodic migraines. Soviet scientists have confirmed that the fragrance of lavender is indeed beneficial for patients with nervous palpitations.
The reason why the fragrance of flowers can cure diseases is that it can kill germs, change physiological reactions, and enhance one's immunity, thus achieving the effect of strengthening the body and dispelling diseases.
The above is the full content of healing with the fragrance of flowers, hoping it will be helpful to those interested in green plants!
