Plants purify the air:
- Plants have been shown to remove airborne contaminants that can cause headaches, allergies and more, while also producing clean air and improving the air quality around them.
- Plants work like sponges by trapping toxins from the air and either absorbing them or breaking them down into harmless byproducts.
- Indoor plants reduce dust and increase humidity levels in the home.
- During photosynthesis, plants reduce carbon dioxide in the air and add oxygen, helping you breathe better.
Plants are mood enhancers:
- Plants can reduce stress and help you feel happier.
- Plants teach us empathy as caring for them increases compassion and improves relationships.
- Looking at flowering plants can have an immediate impact on happiness and memory by reminding us of a positive event.
- Plants help you feel more optimistic.
Plants help you think:
- Plants can provide a natural distraction from hours in front of a computer screen or a pile of homework.
- Having a bit of Mother Nature to look at on your desk can help you renew your attention and gives stimulation to your brain and senses.
