Feng Zhiqiang, a researcher at the School of Geography and Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews in the UK, saidthat simply growing succulents can make a person full of vitality, as if they were ten years younger.

Perhaps growing succulents cannot directly add ten years to your life, but doing so brings a host of benefits, such as keeping you in a happier mood, giving you more contact with greenery than others, and better improving the air in your living space.

In fact, the benefits of growing succulents go far beyond this. After reading this article, you will understandhow many incredible benefits growing succulents has for your health.

01. Stress relief

In 2002, a study by Buffalo State College, part of the State University of New York, showed that when doing stressful work, the company of succulents can relieve stress more than the company of a spouse, family member or close friend. Hope Treatment Center, which focuses on treating drug addiction, not only strongly recommends that patients grow succulents, but also plants many succulents at its rehabilitation center.

02. Lowering blood pressure

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), growing succulents helps lower blood pressure, especially for people with high blood pressure or those at high risk."If you can see cute succulents every day, your blood pressure will be relatively lower."

03. Reducing pain

Becker says that whether you believe it or not,succulents can be said to be the best medicine,especially for people with chronic pain such as migraines or arthritis. "Like Valium, succulents can reduce anxiety. The less anxiety, the less pain," he says. "Some studies on acute pain have found that adults treated with succulents need 50% less pain medication than those who were not."

04. Improving mood

"People who grow succulents have fewer worries, and there is more laughter in their lives."Becker says, "When you come home and see cute succulents, you will treat them as your own children." This is one of the most basic reasons succulents are used as therapy in various forms. "At Walter Reed Army Medical Center, they use succulents to help soldiers deal with severe post-traumatic stress,"

says Katie Nelson, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. "Growing succulents can lower the suicide rate, which is the most serious health threat facing veterans. Growing succulents gives them a sense of responsibility and makes them feel cared for, and they do not have to explain to the succulents what they have been through."

05. Preventing stroke

"If you grow succulents, your risk of heart disease is reduced by 30%, and your risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced by 40%," Becker says. In addition, succulents can help heart disease patients recover their health."If you have heart disease, growing succulents can increase your chance of recovery by eight times."

06. Preventing allergies and boosting immunity

Becker says succulents can significantly boost immunity and prevent allergies. "One study found thatchildren aged 5 to 7 who grow succulents at home spend 3 more weeks in school each year than other children of the same age,"he also says. He adds that the more contact with succulents in childhood, the lower the chance of developing allergies. But he also points out that this effect is irreversible: growing succulents will not reduce allergic reactions in an adult, but only helps children prevent certain allergies.
