Benefits of Houseplants

People who purchase houseplants for the home will reap numerous health benefits. First, houseplants produce oxygen. They are able to do this by taking in the carbon dioxide we exhale and converting that to oxygen. Day and night plants help to produce the oxygen you need to breathe.  Such plants as orchids and succulents produce oxygen even at night while humans and other plants are at rest. Obviously these are great to place in your bedroom to help keep fresh oxygen flowing.

Second houseplants release moisture back into the air. Studies have shown that humidity helps with respiratory distresses. Approximately 97% of the water plants take in is then released as moisture. A few University studies have documented using plants in your home decreases the occurrences of dry skin, colds, sore throats and dry coughs.

Third and an issue not commonly thought 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.

When you put all of these health benefits together, it is no wonder that hospitals and office buildings also benefit from having 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.

Evidence from researchers in Holland, Norway and England also found 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.
