Advantages Of Water Fountains

A variety of people finds joy and benefit from the therapeutic effects associated with gardening. On completion, a well-designed or landscaped garden is a wonderful location to retreat to after a hard day in the office, where you can sit quietly or potter around.

However, were you aware that a garden can become a lot more beneficial by adding something as simple as a fountain? Over and above the visual appeal to an outdoor or indoor area, here are three outstanding benefits you can achieve when you decide to add a beautiful water fountain into your garden or home. 

The Soothing Sounds Of Water

The soothing and tranquil sounds of flowing water are a natural stress therapy. Spending your time near your water fountain daily will help you relax and help you feel refreshed. In fact, the best authority in the world when it comes to relaxation techniques, peace, and harmony known as the Buddhist monks use the sounds of running water to assist in their meditations. 

This is why water fountains that are very similar to the Buddha sitting fountain we sell with are gentle and soft water sounds happen to be a common fixture in the Buddhist temples. Certain studies have also discovered that running water sounds can be an effective tool to relax the mind.

This type of relaxation even works for people that suffer from sleep issues.  Many people agree that the sounds of flowing water can block out other ambient noise. Flowing water may appear to be mild and gentle, but it has the potential to make a significant difference even when it is just regarded as a background feature, and you do not actively listen to it. 

If you find it hard to get out in nature to achieve a natural way to relieve stress, you can easily bring a part of nature into the home by the simple act of introducing a stunning water fountain like this from Luxe Water Walls.

Water Fountains Are Natural Humidifiers

Just the water alone automatically adds needed moisture into the surrounding air, which assists in purifying it. This means that a water fountain in your home can serve the purpose of a natural purifier and humidifier. A water fountain is really beneficial if you reside in an arid environment susceptible to coal or road dust or suffer from allergies.

There are a variety of homeowners that make use of an artificial humidifier for the above-mentioned reasons. However, humidifiers often invite unwanted mildew or mold into the home. For this reason, a natural humidifier like a water feature is a far better choice for indoor environments as well as your health.

Your indoor plants or even your plants in your courtyard will grow far better in a humid and dust reduced environment. You may not know that dust can have a drastic effect on the plant’s ability to photosynthesize when the surface of the leaves is covered in dust. This dust also decreases the amount of light that the leaves can absorb. This is usually one of the concerns for a courtyard or low-light indoor environments.

If humidifying effects that a water fountain provides appeal to you, it is suggested to invest in one of the fountains with a lot of flowing-water. We suggest our 2-tier black fountain that features a wrought-iron look. The tiered fountains encourage an increase in water movements and are also suggested to drown outside noises such as road traffic or noisy neighbors.

Water Ionization Assists With Mood And Depression

Negative ions are the oxygen atoms that have been charged with one additional electron. The reason they are good has to do with the fact that they clear your air and prevent any hazardous airborne-particles developing in and around your home—flowing water in the home or the garden assists in the production of these negative ions.

These ionizing effects are also associated with increased serotonin production in our bodies. Serotonin is a chemical that regulates your mood. When serotonin levels decrease or are low, you become susceptible to mood swings or depression.

This is why a variety of experts recommend that people use an indoor water fountain in their office or home. The majority of the electronic devices that we use daily also decrease negative ions present in our atmosphere.

An effective method to counteract this issue is the introduction of a water fountain or feature. The majority of the freestanding fountains we have for sale, like the “triple column,” can fit neatly into just about any indoor location.
