There’s a view that you can’t put plants in the bedroom because they burn oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

So what I’m going to tell you about is plants that not only don’t absorb, but they release oxygen, many even without light. In addition, plants can purify air of formaldehyde, xylene, toluene and ammonia. All these components are most often contained in furniture, especially if when buying it you did not bother about sustainability (according to the norms all this is allowed).

So, catch a selection of plants that will help you sleep better:

1. I’ll start with my favourite aloe vera – this plant releases the most oxygen into the environment, purifies the air and helps sleep. Another aloe helps to get rid of the cold, it can be eaten to increase immunity, add to lemonade, make facial masks and more.
2. Ivy is the plant that is most successful at absorbing formaldehyde, and recent studies have shown that ivy can reduce asthma symptoms as well as reduce the risk of mould in the room.
3. Eucalyptus – a plant whose leaves emit phytoncides – substances that destroy pathogenic microbes have bactericidal properties. Inhalation of eucalyptus essential oils helps to get rid of the common cold. Eucalyptus has been used for many centuries for many diseases.
4. Sansevieria (mother-in-law or serpent tongue). Despite the not-quite-flattering folk name, this beautiful green plant is able to filter the air of the room, filter formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene. The plant produces oxygen even at night. His superpowers in the following: strengthens immunity, helps to cope with headaches, breathing problems, eye irritation, and also increases the overall energy of the person.
5. The Lilia of Peace (Spatifillum) – one name brings to the bedroom peace. The secret is not only in the name, this plant perfectly cleans and moisturizes the air, is a detox for such harmful compounds as ammonia, acetone, benzene, ethylacetate, formaldehyde, methyl alcohol, trichloroethylene, xylene. The plant can increase the humidity in the room to 5%, which facilitates breathing during sleep. The moisture of the world’s lilies neutralizes microbes that cause allergies. The plant produces oxygen at any time of the day. And also, it is called «women’s happiness», because the lily of peace normalizes the energy in the house, gives a touch of elegance and helps to create a truly relaxed and hospitable environment. In the bedroom, it is recommended to keep 2-3 of these magical beauties.
6. Lavender. The advantages of lavender go far beyond air cleaning. This beautiful plant spreads a fragrance that has the ability to relax the body and mind. The essential oils of lavender can not talk a lot, because of their useful properties known to everyone.
7. Gardenia. If you suffer from insomnia, it is a plant with amazing white and fragrant flowers for you! Gardenia has a sedative effect comparable to that of valium (artificial tranquilizer). In addition, recent research by German scientists at the University of Düsseldorf has demonstrated the plant’s extraordinary ability to remove anxiety and provide good recreation. Gardenia initiates the native neurotransmitter of the central nervous system, like valerian, and helps the body to rebuild into a «mode of rest».  Instead of sleeping pills, put gardenia in the bedroom.
