Basil A trip to the Mediterranean with olive oil’s soul mate. Yes, its flavour is essential to give dishes a particular aroma, but in addition to delighting our taste buds, it also takes care of our immune defences! In addition, it can also relieve coughs and fevers… a blessing in this season marked by recurring illnesses. Its linalool also helps reduce stress. If you want to receive as much from it as it does from you, you will have to keep it warm, very hydrated and exposed to light. Come on, it’s worth it!
Aloe Vera for personal care It’s a small pleasure to take care of this plant that is not very demanding in terms of water, grown in soil or in a pot and that will feel as comfortable in a garden as it will proudly display itself indoors. Close to a window (without being directly exposed to the rays, either), it will withstand the heat very well. As you will have understood, it is not delicate at all! Its little treasure is the gel hidden inside its stems and which is ultra-soothing, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory. We offer you a reminder of the possible uses right here (and we haven’t mentioned everything yet!).
Monstera deliciosa Ready to have your own authentic, lush indoor jungle? Opt for this large-leafed plant that is unbeatable in combating indoor pollution such as ammonia or formaldehyde. Let’s not kid ourselves: even if it is magical against pollution, it is a plant that requires space, tutors to grow healthily (in nature, it grows along trees) and the lady does not like the cold very much. Therefore, you must keep it in a place where the temperatures are mild (around 20°). Last clarification, its sap is irritating to humans and toxic to animals… nobody is perfect! Handle with care…
