Air Purifying Plants!

Get One! Boston Fern ((Nephrolepis exaltata)...
Removes formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from the air. Although homes and offices may seem pristine, indoor air may contain volatile organic compounds, which usually have some sort of odor; benzine, usually from fabrics, plastics or cigarette smoke; or formaldehyde, found in detergents and cleaners as well as some cosmetics. In areas near high voltage or smog, ozone can be an additional pollutant. These pollutants have been linked with a number of adverse health conditions. Boston ferns may help reduce these pollutants.

Atis Fruit Information

Atis is the Philippine name for Sweet Sop and Sugar Apple. Atis is a relative to custard apple.
Atis is a small tree that grows between 10 to 20 feet high when fully matured with oblong leaves and green heart-shaped fruits with polygonal tubercles. The atis fruit has a white, sweet flesh and black seeds.

Toxic Properties of the Atis Fruit

All parts of the atis tree have medicinal value. The seeds however are poisonous. The seeds are pounded and made into paste. This can be applied to the scalp of the head to kill hair lice. Care should be taken when applying atis seed paste on the scalp as this is extremely irritating to the eyes and can even cause blindness. The paste when applied into the uterus can cause abortion.

Atis Use as Herbal Medicine
• A decoction (boiling in water) of the leaves induces or hastens menstrual flow and used to treat dysentery, colds and fever. The decoction is also used for bathing to alleviate rheumatic pain.
• Crushed leaves are inhaled for dizziness and fainting.
• The bark of the atis tree is used as a decoction for diarrhoea.
• The root is a strong purgative and used to treat dysentery.
• Infected insect bites can be cured by applying the juice from an unripe atis fruit.
