1. Jasmine
Do you feel constant anxiety and stress? Well, maybe you should consider having jasmine around your house! This plant releases a certain chemical that is known to relieve stress and anxiety, as well as treat mood swings and help you sleep better. If you have jasmine in large quantities, it can also increase libido and raise immunity.
2. Spider plant
If you’re thinking, “I don’t even have time for myself, how am I supposed to take care of a plant?” Worry no more, spider plants don’t require much care, and they are awesome at fighting toxic impurities that circulate in the air, such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and many others. You only need to water them about one time per week, and they can live long periods without any direct sunlight.
3. Peace lily
Just like the spider plant, peace lilies are also great at removing all air pollutants such as ammonia, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, amongst many others. What makes them stand out from spider plants are the amazing white flowers they produce during the spring/summer. So, they’re not only beautiful, but they also make indoor air a lot cleaner and healthier to breathe. Unfortunately, it’s not advised to people who suffer from pollen allergies as it produces pollen and floral scent.
4. Rosemary
Rosemary is a beautiful plant to give to someone as a present. Not only is it known to help with memory loss and help you concentrate, but it’s also known to have benefits when it comes to help muscle pain healing and boost our immune and circulatory systems. It’s a great gift for your grandma since the fresh leaves can be used for cooking!
