What do you feel when you take a walk through the forest or gaze at a lush green landscape filled with towering trees?
Just like us, you probably feel peace, tranquility, serenity, and a sense of relaxation that helps you forget most of your problems for a few minutes, right?
Well, the same thing happens when you step onto a wooden floor in any room or space.
Numerous studies reveal that observing spaces with this type of material calms the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for stress.
Blood pressure, heart rate, and irritability decrease, showing a strong connection between wood and health.
But it's not just stress that is affected—every parameter dependent on the sympathetic nervous system improves when we are in environments where wood is the dominant material.
Additionally, wood helps improve air quality and prevents the growth of fungi, bacteria, and viruses, thereby reducing respiratory issues.
Since the pandemic, wood has stood out significantly among other materials. The coronavirus can remain on plastic or stainless steel surfaces for up to 96 hours, but only 12 hours on wooden surfaces.
Today, we all know that physical health is just as important as mental health—and yes, wood has positive effects in this area too.
It may sound a bit crazy or even impossible, but the truth is that thanks to the aroma, beauty, and warmth that wood exudes, our emotions unconsciously improve. Being surrounded by this material enhances our mood.
As you can see, wood means health, but it also means creativity.
Scientific studies have shown that in schools, offices, or any business environment surrounded by wood, concentration, creativity, attention, and interpersonal relationships all improve.
