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. It would also be helpful if you new 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. 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. 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.
