Last night, I awoke to the sound of heavy rain outside my open bedroom window. Two thoughts immediately came to mind; It's going to be wet in the morning (if I choose to cycle, it will be slippery roads and if I choose to go hiking, the trails will be muddy) and the air is going to be much cleaner.

Fortunately, by the time I left the house the ground had dried pretty well and the quality of the air was great!

As I hiked along some of our beautifully forested local trails, I wondered how I could bring the benefits of these plant "air quality controllers" indoors.

I already have quite a few large plants in my home, but I chose them rather randomly, so I went to this site and found all sorts of additional choices that I can use to help improve the quality of my indoor air.

By increasing the quality of the air you breathe, you'll also be reducing the overall accumulation of stress that your body has to deal with and thus improve your ability to recover from all the other stressors you might not be able to control so easily.
