House Plants That Can Help with Stress Relief

If you want to feel less stressed...add some greenery to your home!

Besides making your house more stylish homey, house plants can play a role in your mental health. There’s been scientific evidence that suggests working with nature reduces cortisol levels, a chemical our bodies produce in response to stress. Peace lilies have been known to filter harmful toxins like mold spores from the air. An aloe vera plant acts the same way, removing chemicals from the air that can impact our respiratory system. The calming scent of lavender is believed to promote a sense of calmness and tranquility, while jasmine has been found to improve brain activity and induce sleep.
