Plants have wonderful healing properties. Plants can improve our health, sleep, and add beauty and purity to our homes.

The Snake plant is also known as the “Mother In- Law plant.” It emits oxygen at night. Oxygen promotes a good night’s sleep. The Snake plant also is able to eliminate harmful chemicals in the air. This plant is said to be the bearer of good luck and to emit a strong protective energy. The Snake plant acts as a protector and as a negative energy shield. West, east or south facing windows are best. Keep 6–10 feet from window.
