People often think the problems contributing to allergies or hayfever are from allergens outside their home. Sure, it is common and many people do have allergies to pollen and ragweed, dust-mites, etc.
What people don't realize is that they breath the most toxin-filled and allergy latent air in their own home. car, and any indoor area. Not only do we bring in common allergens into our homes on our clothes and shoes, but they stay, concentrate and get trapped.
Earth Day teaches us about the quality of our air and how planting a tree is very important. Well planting some plants in your home can make dramatic difference in your health as well. The place where we spend the most time and deserves the most attention, is where we sleep, our bedroom.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has done studies over the past two decades to find out which plants could remove toxic chemicals from the air for use in space stations. The plants that topped their list are:
My favorites:
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum “Mauna Loa”)
Green Spider Plant (Chlorophytum elatum)
*Ficus (Ficus benjamina)
*Mass cane (dracaena massangeana)
Chinese evergreen (Algona “silver queen”)
*These plants were found to help remove formaldehyde, benzenes and trichloroethylenes.
Other options:
*Pot mum (Chrysanthemum morifolium)
*Gerbera daisy (Gerbera jamesonii)
*Warnecki (Dracaena deremensis “Warneckei”)
English Ivy (Hedera helix)
Marginata (Dracaena marginata)
Mother-in-laws tongue (Sansevieria laurentii)
Banana (Musa oriana)
Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii)
Heart Leaf philodendron (Philodendron oxycardium)
Janet Craig (Dracaena deremensis “Janet Craig”)
