How to Improve Indoor Air Pollution to Boost Your Wellness

March 20, 2021 by Gabrielle Gardiner Leave a Comment

Considering how much of our lives we spend inside, it’s time we start talking about indoor air pollution. Especially during the winter months when folks hunker down, air purification is one of the best things you can do for your home.

It’s particularly important to find easy, natural solutions to make the air you’re breathing healthy and fresh. Not only are chemical-free air quality boosters better for the environment, but they’re also less likely to cause unpleasant physical symptoms.

A Two-Tiered Approach to Improving Your Air

If you’re committed to improving your indoor air quality, you need to take a two-tiered approach: minimizing toxins and adding air-purifying elements to your home. Unknowingly breathing in pollution can trigger chronic symptoms like headaches, fatigue, respiratory issues, and allergy symptoms. You may not even notice that you’re breathing poor quality every day.

You might be experiencing the consequences of poor air quality without consciously realizing it or knowing the source. The best thing you can do is find a professional home air quality tester to determine the severity and root of your issues. They may be able to reduce the toxins in your home if they know what is causing it.

Lifestyle Changes to Clean Your Air: Where to Start

If you can take simple actions like reducing your shower time, eliminating cooking pollution, and dehumidifying properly, you’ll be in a better position to detoxify your space.

Check the labels on the products you use to avoid cheap, toxic materials. Furniture from mattresses to carpets can leach dangerous chemicals into the air that will accumulate over time and cause major health issues.

Purifying Plants: The Secret Ingredient to Healthy Indoor Air

Plants help clean the air by absorbing and eliminating common household pollutants like formaldehyde. Detoxifying plants include peace lilies, snake plants, spider plants, English ivy, Chinese evergreen, and bamboo. When you put specific types of plants with air-purifying properties in your home, you’ll start noticing the benefits not only to your health but also to your mood.

Take a look at the graphic below, which provides ways to improve indoor air quality using plants.
