In this episode, Hester Macdonald and Katt Cullen explore the incredible benefits of plants for both our environment and our well-being. Starting with NASA’s 1989 study, Hester explains how plants can purify the air and improve indoor spaces; incorporating plants like Dracaenas and peace lilies into your office or home can make a great difference to your health and productivity.
If simply having the plants around isn't enough, we look at the plants that support digestion. From mint and fennel to sage and rosemary, these plants not only enhance your meals but also provide relief from common digestive issues like bloating, constipation, and indigestion.
We'll even take a look at plants that improve blood flow, featuring beets, garlic, and leafy greens. These nutrient-rich plants support heart health and circulation, offering an easy way to boost your cardiovascular system.
If that's not enough, how about plants that help stress reduction and improve sleep quality and overall mood?
