How to Cleanse the Air
The air inside your home can be just as polluted as the air outside. Cleaning products, fireplaces, heaters, paints, household appliances and other items commonly found in homes can all put toxins into your home's air. The key to keeping your indoor air clean is to remove toxins and add negative ions into the air. Negative ions are invisible molecules that are found in an abundance at beaches, waterfalls and mountains. Negative ions can increase your production of serotonin--a mood chemical that relieves stress and depression, boosts your daytime energy and allows you to sleep better at night. Does this Spark an idea?

Add houseplants. Houseplants aid in ridding your home of toxins and air pollutants. Adding houseplants to your home will reduce the benzene, carbon monoxide, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde levels in your home. English ivy, peace lily, rubber plant and Boston fern are just a few plants that can help keep the air in your home clean.

Use a diffuser with eucalyptus oil. Eucalyptus oil does not have the same pleasant fragrance like other aromatherapy oil. But eucalyptus oil has many heath benefits and cleans the air naturally. If you do not have a diffuser, simply place a few drops of eucalyptus oil onto a light bulb.
