Planting Protection: Green Ways to Improve the Air You Breathe



Plants provide a haven, even in a small studio apartment. They improved the air we breathe and lending their seasonal beauty. This is a great idea for at home and at work. Not only are they pretty to look at, they are improving the air you breathe. These air-purifying plants look great, produce oxygen, and can even absorb contaminants like formaldehyde and benzene, which are commonly off-gassed from furniture and mattresses. Here are the plants to purify the air in your home 24/7:  bamboo, weeping figs, rubber tree, spider plant, Peace lily, snake plants. Houseplants need their leaves dusted so you can do this with a banana peel. The dust clings to the peel and the leaves are nourished by the peel. Go bananas!

Mint   - Refresh Your Mental Powers
Another useful herb is mint, which comes from the Latin “menthe,” which literally means thought. Mint is so easily grown that a little bunch in the backyard can go on to become a scentful, attractive groundcover. It is also called the flower of eternal refreshment. Woven into a laurel, it bestows brilliance, artistic inspiration and prophetic ability. As a tea, it accomplishes miracles of calming the stomach and the mind at the same time.
