PLANT POWER

Benefits of house plants

1. Plants are known to reduce headaches, sore dry throats, dry or itchy skin and fatigue.

2. Help reduce toxins in the air around us.

3. Keep us calmer (reducing pulse rates and blood pressure – the physical signs of stress).

4. Help us to recover from operations more quickly and with less pain-killing drugs.

5. Emit oxygen we need to breathe whilst absorbing the carbon dioxide we exhale.

6. Absorb noise on their resilient leaf surfaces thus stifling the sound waves.

7. Return 97% of the water we give them to the atmosphere – good for dry centrally heated rooms.
