Thanks to recent studies by NASA, we know a lot more about the benefits of keeping indoor plants. They don’t just look nice in an office or home, they help to remove over 85% of air toxins in a period of 24 hours, and they’ve been proven to help increase productivity by up to 15%. In the office, indoor plants with broad leaves have also been proven to help relieve feelings of stress and anxiety, improving your well-being simply by being there.
Indoor plants aren’t just beautiful, they’re actually making you feel better, and we love this concept of bringing life into your workspace at Technalink. If you’re looking to turn your meditation space or office into a more serene and productive space, a few plants that you may want to welcome into your life are:
- Lavender – Lavender is a delicate herb that emits the universally calming scent that so many seek out during times of mindfulness and relaxation. If you meditate often for soothing and calm, having lavender in your space could be just the helping hand you didn’t know you needed.
- Mint – Where lavender is soothing and calm, mint is invigorating, energizing, and refreshing. Growing mint is simple, and there are many different types of mint to choose from if you prefer one type of mint aroma over another. It is important to be mindful of going overboard with mint, however, as the scent can be particularly strong in closed spaces without much airflow.
- Aloe vera – Aloe vera is a soothing plant, both for the skin and for the environment it lives in. It’s a highly effective plant for purifying the air, and it’s a non-fussy succulent that does well without much upkeep.
- Snake plant – Snake plants have a unique ability to purify the air during the day and create oxygen at night. Having a snake plant in your office or home meditation space allows you to return each day to a refreshed and uplifting space without complicated upkeep.
While these are just a few simple and effective picks, there are many you can choose from to create your own lush lively meditation area. Whichever plant calls to you is the right one to bring into your spiritual area.
