Abstract
Until now, many researches have been accumulated knowledge about influences of plants on human mind and body. Focusing on the indoor plants as a natural factor in our everyday lives, we reviewed previous studies. The effects of plants on human mind and body have been investigated in various situations such as offices, medical setting, and educational setting. These studies show that indoor plants can raise the state of mind and body of people by reducing stress and fatigue, leading to a relaxed state. Now not only the plantscaping such as existence, amount and layout of plants, but also relationships between people and plants have come to be the topic in researching the benefits of plants. Further researches are required to clarify whether people's attitudes towards plants has influence on the benefits of plants.
