The influence of plants on humans

Improving air quality and humidity

By increasing indoor air humidity, plants are particularly recommended for allergy sufferers and asthmatics. In addition, many plants absorb and accumulate harmful chemicals that are detrimental to human health, such as heavy metals, volatile organic compounds and inorganic compounds. It has been shown that plants can reduce the concentration of harmful compounds such as formaldehyde and benzene by up to half.

Impact on health

Plants undoubtedly have a positive impact on human health and well-being. It has long been proven that visual contact with plants has a soothing effect on human eyesight and also has a calming effect by re-educating stress levels. Being surrounded by plants develops imagination and improves creativity.
