Health Benefits of Plants

Plants are wonderful additions to your home. They produce oxygen by taking in the carbon dioxide we exhale and also add color to your home’s decor. Day and night plants help to produce the oxygen you need to breathe. There are plants like orchids and succulents that even at night while humans and other plants are at rest, still continue converting carbon dioxide to oxygen. You should place these in your bedroom to help keep fresh oxygen flowing.

It has been shown that humidity helps with respiratory distresses. Plants emit moisture back into the air. In fact studies indicate the approximately 97% of the water plants take in is then released as moisture. There are University studies that document using plants in your home decreases the occurrences of dry skin, colds, sore throats and dry coughs.

Something most of us do not think about is that there are small traces of volatile chemical compounds released into your home. Things like your rugs, grocery bags, vinyl and cigarette smoke can emit traces of formaldehyde. Then there is benzene that can be present in paint and in books and papers due to the man made inks, solvents and fibers. Once these chemicals are trapped inside of an air tight structure, they can be harmful. The good news is that plants can act as an air purification system. They do this by trapping these harmful chemicals in the soil they are in. Microorganisms in their root systems then convert the chemicals to food.

Not only do home residences benefit from plants but Hospitals and office buildings are also great places for plants. Researchers at Kansas State University reported studies that show patients recover quicker when their hospital rooms have plants in them. In addition, these patients tend to have lower heart rates, blood pressure, less fatigue and anxiety. Consequently the patients are released from the hospitals sooner.

Researchers from Holland, Norway and England have found evidence in their studies that the overall health of individuals in office buildings and classrooms is also improved by the presence of plants. Some of the benefits they found are decreases in fatigue, colds, headaches, coughs, sore throats and flu like symptoms. These illnesses fell by as much as 60 percent in buildings that had plants. Classroom attentiveness increased by a whooping 70 percent.
