Philodendron Selloum
This popular houseplant is enjoyed for its beautifully-shaped leaves, but it turns out that it’s great for air quality. The leaves absorb pollutants and toxins from the air and increase the amount of oxygen in the room.

South African Geranium
You might know these as colorful flowering plants with interesting-smelling leaves. But geranium oil is known for its relaxing, soothing effect. It is also used to treat respiratory and gastrointestinal conditions.
Spearmint
More subtle than ordinary mint, spearmint was used by the Romans to disinfect and deodorize, as well as treat stomach complaints. Keeping a spearmint plant can help to soothe stress and tension.

Bamboo Plant
While the bamboo plant is popular for its beautiful shapes, it’s also very good at removing certain toxins from the air. These include potentially-harmful cleaning product ingredients such as benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene. It also increases humidity levels.
