Despite decorating our living space, indoor plants purify the air from toxins and mold and improve our health.

According to Lifestyle Home Garden:

“Indoor plants absorb Carbon Dioxide and keep Oxygen flowing, they purify the air by removing toxins, help to deter illness, ease tension and lower stress, create a relaxed and happy ambiance whilst helping you to ultimately work better through improved concentration, heightened attention, enhanced creativity, increased productivity and enriched overall well-being. The air purifying and filtering properties of indoor plants ultimately foster a healthier and happier working and living environment.”

The inhalation of toxins elevates the risk of diseases, so you will prevent health issues by having at least one of these air-purifying plants below:

Snake plant

The snake plant needs a bit of sunlight to perform photosynthesis and releases oxygen during the entire night.

Chinese evergreen

It fights bacteria and bad odor helps sleep and relaxes the nervous system.

The following plants are also beneficial to have at home: begonia, Gerber, the tree of life, azalea, and chrysanthemum.

Lifestyle Home Garden adds:

“The importance of a healthy working and living environment is so significant, even NASA conducted a study on clean air and how common indoor plants can help achieve this.

The benefits of indoor plants and their ability to filter harmful toxins and pollutants from the air within our most occupied indoor spaces makes the air more breathable for us and ultimately assists in transforming a room into a living space.

It may seem far-fetched that greenery can have such an advantageous effect on such a simple yet important thing such as our daily lives, but the results and smiles speak for themselves.

Witness the joy a living treelike a huge Bamboo Palm brings to colleges walking into a reception area that it inhabits, or the peaceful sleep a Snake Plant, Peace Lily or Spider Plant in a bedroom can help foster. The benefits of indoor plants are of paramount importance for indoor environment quality.”
