6 Plants That Help You Breathe Easier

Studies show people who work near plants are less likely to suffer from fatigue, headaches, and sore throats. 


Bedroom: Gerbera Daisy Gerbera jamesonii
If you have ample light, place this colourful flowering plant in your bedroom, near where you air out freshly dry-cleaned clothes. It reduces levels of benzene, a chemical solvent used for dry cleaning that can compromise your immune system and has been linked to anaemia.


Bathroom: "Janet Craig" Dracaena deremensis
This plant lowers levels of the toxin trichloroethylene, linked to kidney and liver cancers and lymphoma, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Often in paints, TCE can also be released into the air if you take a hot shower in TCE-contaminated water.


Kitchen: English Ivy Hedera helix
This easy-to-grow ivy is particularly good at removing formaldehyde, a respiratory irritant, which can enter the air when you use some dish-washing liquids and disinfectants. Pressed-wood products such as cabinets and tables may also emit it.

Hallways: Peace Lily Spathiphyllum "Mauna Loa"
NASA researchers discovered that this white-flowering plant is among the best for lowering levels of TCE and benzene, making it a powerful detoxifier for any room. Place one in a hallway with some light so it can prevent the spread of pollutants between rooms.


Laundry Room: Boston Fern Nephrolepis exaltata
This detoxing stand-out is the most effective house-plant for reducing formaldehyde. Also a possible carcinogen, the toxin is present in some fabric softeners and carpet cleaners and can be emitted by certain wallpapers and paints.

Attached Garage: Golden Pothos Epipremnum aureum
In a study published , this plant performed well in removing ozone, a respiratory irritant present in auto emissions. Place one of these hardy ivies near the door connecting your house and garage.
