As spring cleaning comes to and end and we get ready to welcome summer, I just wanted to share a simple natural way to detoxify the air you breathe. PLANTS! If you didn't catch our video release about it, this 1 minute watch will tell you everything!
Keep Plants Around You!
THE LIST---
Areca Palm
Lady Palm
Bamboo Palm
Rubber Plant *
Dracaena Janet Craig *
English Ivy*
Dwarf Date Palm
Ficus Alii*
Boston Fern
Peace Lily*
The asterisks are plants that may be toxic to pets, so if you are like me and have a furbaby, be sure to avoid those ones!
I just lastly want to note that this isn't an exhaustive list. I have also heard good things about snake plants (dracaena trifasciata) as well. I highlight this top 10 from Dr. Bill Wolverton, who was a principle investigator of NASA's clean air study. He details that these were the most effective at removing various chemicals and vapors in air pollutants.
Having plants also has been shown to reduce stress in working environments as well. Want to get a small plant to improve your workspace? Thinking of taking up gardening as a new hobby? Want a sunbathing and detoxing buddy for summer? Consider adopting one of these plants to enhance your health and your living room!
Because wellness is a lifestyle!
