Q:
Is it true that flowers are
good for your health?
A: According to Dr.
Andrew Weil, a noted health expert and author of 8 Weeks to Optimum
Health, flowers are important to our sense of well-being and possess a
holistic quality. Flower essences are prominent in the practice of
aromatherapy.
Q:
What do I need to know if I am
ordering flowers for a hospital?
A: The most important
information to be aware of is the hospital name and the patient name, the
room number (if possible), and the delivery date. It would also be helpful
if you knew the patient’s release date and the hospital’s policy
regarding flower deliveries. Some hospitals prohibit flowers in certain
areas such as intensive care. Items such as balloons and fruits are also
prohibited from certain hospitals and sections.
Q:
Is it o.k. to wait and send flowers once someone
has returned home from the hospital?
A: Yes. It is much more
common today for patients to recover from illness and injury at home due
to rising hospital costs. Patients look forward to the comfort and
convenience of their home and flowers are a great way to let someone know
you are thinking of them during this time.
Q:
Is it appropriate to
send flowers to someone who is just sick in bed or feeling down?
A: Absolutely. Flowers
could be the best medicine in lifting someone’s spirits or speeding up a
recovery whether they are under the weather or having a bad day.
