Did you know that having indoor plants can help improve your health?
Here are four houseplants that are effective at increasing oxygen and clearing out toxins for a much healthier home (and lungs).
✔️ Snake Plant
This is one of the best plants for your home. Research has shown that the Snake Plant is the MOST oxygen-producing indoor plant, and is a great air purifying plant as well. They’re also fairly easy and forgiving when it comes to care!
✔️ Rubber Plant
This plant is great because its large leaves act as a magnet to toxins such as bacteria and mold spores, which basically clean your house for you. Yes, you will still need to clean, but who doesn’t love an extra perk?
✔️ Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera releases oxygen and absorbs carbon dioxide at night, making it a great air purifier. Aloe is also great for burns & healing small cuts. Bonus: you can even use it as a hair mask, moisturizer, and shaving gel!
✔️ English Ivy
This plant is well-known to purify up to 94% of airborne mold particles that can trigger allergies. It is also known for its many healing properties which include, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-arthritic. Just be sure to keep it out of reach from kids and pets.
