Plants

Let’s find out how plants can actually improve our health, and which plants to try.

Allergy attacks. Fatigue. Asthma. Headaches. Tickly coughs. All unpleasant. And all can be caused by different triggers. For some people, one of those triggers could be chemicals lurking around the home, silently affecting those who are breathing them in, all day, every day. Particularly as the weather cools down and we hunker down for the winter, closed windows and heating systems combined with a lack of fresh air can cause chemicals in your environment to have a negative affect on your health.

Here are some good plants to try, recommended for their air-purifying abilities:

Aloe Vera

Areca Palm

Boston Fern

Dragon Tree (Dracena Marginata)

Rubber Plant (Ficus Elastica)

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum)

Snake Plant (Sansevieria)

Scindapsus

Weeping Fig (Ficus Benjamina)
