House plants to help you breathe?
I’ve discovered yet another reason to green up your living space whether you have a green thumb or not - and it has nothing whatsoever to do with your feng shui. According to a spokesperson for the American Lung Association, a simple way to remove many airborne toxins from your home is to get a non-flowering green plant such as the no nonsense bamboo plant. A single plant of this type can purify the air in a 10 x 10 room in 24 hours!
Think your housecleaning skills removes all of that nasty stuff from your home? Bet you didn’t know that paints, carpets and even shower curtains can release toxic junk into the air all the time…just some food for thought.
