Among the vast abundance of plants grown in the home, there is a group of ether-bearing plants. Several of these fragrant green friends will not only decorate the home interior, but also create an aromatherapy effect and improve the microclimate in the house.
When choosing plants for aromatherapy, do not get carried away with breeding them in large quantities. It is enough to limit ourselves to the cultivation of 3-4 specimens, which are well known, loved for their aromas, and most importantly, they will not cause allergic reactions in the family. The components that make up essential oils are volatile phytoncides that these plants secrete. Phytoncides ionize the air, have a beneficial effect on the human body, cleanse the air from pathogenic microbes. And due to the evaporation of moisture from the surfaces of the leaves, excessively dry air in the house is humidified. This is especially important in the winter.
