HEALTH BENEFITS
Aglaonema 'Eileen' is primarily an ornamental plant, valued for its attractive foliage and air-purifying properties. While it doesn't have direct medicinal benefits, it offers several health-related advantages:
- Air Purification – Like other Aglaonema varieties, it helps remove toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and carbon monoxide from indoor air, improving air quality.
- Increases Humidity – Releases moisture into the air, which can help reduce respiratory issues, dry skin, and irritation.
- Reduces Stress and Enhances Well-being – Studies suggest that having indoor plants can lower stress, improve mood, and boost productivity.
- Low Maintenance, High Impact – As an easy-to-care-for plant, it provides greenery and aesthetic appeal without demanding much attention, making it ideal for mental relaxation.
However, keep in mind that Aglaonema is mildly toxic if ingested, so it should be kept away from pets and children.
