Some plants can help you reduce your allergy symptoms!

More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies.  Allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic diseases in the United States.  They are a widespread problem. 
     
Unfortunately, your home can contribute to allergy problems.  Today’s tight construction traps allergens and other airborne particles in the home.  The EPA says that airborne pollutants may be 25 to 100 times worse indoors than outside.  And we spend 90% of our time indoors!
    
If any of your homeowners suffer from allergies, we recommend two solutions.  First, and simplest, buy a few air cleaning houseplants.  Some of the best are:

·        Areca Palms
·        Bamboo Palm
·        Boston Fern
·        Corn Plant
·        Dwarf Date Palm
·        English Ivy
·        Ficus
·        Lady Palm
·        Peace Lily
     
Second, consider offering an electronic air cleaner for their home.  Electronic air cleaners are mounted in your duct system and quietly work to clean the air, trapping particulates as small as 0.3 microns.  This is smaller than tobacco smoke particulates, cat allergens, dust, pollen, and mold spores.
