Want to Boost Your Mood? Plants Can Help

Houseplants are good for your health — and not just for their visual beauty. They essentially do the opposite of what we do when we breathe: release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. This not only freshens up the air, but also eliminates harmful toxins. But that’s not all they do: Turns out,  studies have shown that indoor plants can also do all of the following:

1. Boost your mood, productivity, concentration, and creativity.

2. Reduce your stress levels and fatigue, and battle off sore throats and colds.

3. Inject life to a sterile space or atmosphere, offer privacy, and reduce noise levels.

4. Serve as a form of therapy to care for.

So  if you’re looking to boost your health, mood, and space, here’s 3 of our favorite (and easy-to-care-for) houseplants to get you started:
