Here in the south, mimosa trees are everywhere. When they are in bloom, their bright pink flowers dress up nearly every roadside. For as long as I can remember, they have been considered a nuisance, but their health benefits are quite impressive.

The mimosa is known for its ability to enhance mood, and is known as the "tree of happiness". Studies have shown it has a positive effect on memory and the nervous systems. It is also beneficial for sinus problems, urinary problems, and even hemorrhoids. That would make anybody happy!
