Feng Shui – Plants and Natural Light in The Service of Energy Efficiency

The term “feng shui” may sound mysterious and exotic, but simply put, it is a set of tips on how to put your home into the function of your health, ultimately creating a more energy-efficient living space.

Feng shui has been praised for centuries for its ability to increase people’s energy levels and give them a much healthier life. Feng shui requires a well-lightened area that has unobstructed airflow. Sunlight itself, works wonders, but when applied through various feng shui techniques, it can produce incredible improvements in your state of mind, as well as in terms of the energy efficiency of your home.

It is in our nature to be organized. No one likes to live in a mess and it can have a serious negative impact on your mental health. There are only two things you need to keep your living space healthy: enough clean air and enough light.

Fresh air is very important in the modern world. Thousands of years ago, there were no factories and cars that seriously degraded air quality. Even in your home, there are many pollutants, such as your stove, or refrigerator. This is why much more energy and effort needs to be invested in air purification today than in the past. The easiest way to compensate for the negative effects of some of these pollutants is to purchase natural air cleaners. Many small palm trees and ferns are known for their ability to absorb toxic substances found in the air. In addition, they produce oxygen and are a visually appealing addition to your home.

Lighting is also very important. Light is one of the most powerful forms of energy in the universe. On a daily basis, most of us are not exposed to sunlight as much as we should be. Feng shui encourages the use of natural light whenever possible, while recommending full-spectrum illumination when natural light is not enough.

So, by improving the lighting and purchasing several plants, you can dramatically improve your living space, and therefore your health and quality of life. The plants that are recommended recommend as the best “air cleaners” are: Dwarf Palm Tree (Phoenix Roebelenii), Golden Creeper (devil ivy, Lat. Epipremnum aureum), Peace lily (Spatifilum), Filadendron and Spider plant (green lily, lat. Chlorophytum comosum).
