Anyone who’s shopped around for houseplants would probably admit to prioritizing the way they look and what their maintenance requirements are before deciding on one to bring home.

Those are obvious things to keep in mind, but there’s one more important aspect we sometimes tend to forget about when looking for an ideal houseplant: their health benefits.

Good health depends on more than just diet and exercise. Without a doubt, your environment affects your health too, and the right houseplant can actually make a big difference in your mood, your stress level, your sleep quality, and even your breathing.

As the seasons change and winter rolls in, we spend significantly less time outdoors, which means we are significantly more likely to experience poor air quality. Although we may not realize it as we go about our daily lives, indoor toxins can have a drastic impact on our health, potentially leading to Asthma, allergies, inflammation, and even cancer.

Thankfully, there are natural ways to bring the benefits of the outdoors inside, in a cost-effective way. Try these fantastic house plants for improved indoor health.
