If your family is in poor health, don't raise "bad luck flowers", it's not "superstition", it's scientific
In our daily life, raising flowers and plants has long become a way for many people to pursue the quality of life. Not only do they add life and color to your home, but they also purify the air to a certain extent and make you feel good. However, when someone in the family is not in good health, some plants called "bad luck flowers" may invisibly bring some adverse effects on our health. This is not superstition, but there is a scientific truth.
# 1. What is "bad luck"?
The term "bad luck flowers" does not refer to a specific flower species, but to plants that may have a negative impact on human health when grown indoors. These plants may contain toxins that are harmful to humans, or their growth will produce substances that are not harmful to human health, such as excessive pollen, mold, etc. Long-term contact with these plants may aggravate allergy symptoms and even trigger respiratory diseases in some people.
# 2. Which plants may become "bad luck flowers"?
1. Oleander: Oleander is a beautiful ornamental plant, but its flowers and leaves contain a variety of toxins, and long-term exposure may cause symptoms such as skin redness, dizziness, and nausea.
2. Poinsettia: The flowers of poinsettia are bright and eye-catching, but their white juice contains toxins that can cause allergic reactions if ingested or in contact with the skin.
3. Nightshade: Nightshade will give off a strong aroma at night, but this aroma contains a chemical that is harmful to the human body, and long-term inhalation may cause dizziness, insomnia and other problems.
4. Mimosa: Mimosa is an interesting plant, but it contains a substance called mimosine, which can cause hair loss with long-term exposure.
In addition, there are some common houseplants, such as cactus, spider plant, etc., although they are not toxic in themselves, but in the case of improper maintenance, they are also easy to breed mold and bacteria, posing a threat to human health.
# 3. Why does "bad luck" affect the health of my family?
From a scientific point of view, there are several reasons why "bad luck flowers" can have a negative impact on the health of family members:
1. Toxin release: Some plants contain toxins in their bodies, which may be released into the environment through air, contact, etc., and cause adverse reactions after being inhaled or exposed by the human body.
2. Pollen allergies: Some plants release a large amount of pollen when they bloom, and for people with allergies, long-term inhalation of these pollen may trigger allergic reactions, such as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, etc.
3. Mold breeding: The indoor environment is relatively closed, and the humidity is high, which is easy to breed mold. Some plants secrete organic matter during their growth, which provides conditions for the growth of mold. The spores of mold float in the air and can cause respiratory diseases when inhaled by the body.
# 4. How to avoid the harm of "bad luck"?
1. Understand plant characteristics: When choosing houseplants, it is necessary to understand their growth habits and effects on the human body, and avoid choosing plants that are toxic or easy to breed mold.
2. Reasonable placement: Place plants in a well-ventilated and well-lit place to avoid overwatering and reducing the possibility of mold growth.
3. Clean regularly: Clean the leaves and pots of your plants regularly to avoid the accumulation of dust and mold. For plants that have grown mold, they should be treated or replaced in time.
4. Pay attention to family reactions: Pay attention to the reaction of family members to plants, such as allergic symptoms or respiratory discomfort, and take timely measures to solve problems or adjust plant species.
In short, it is not superstitious to raise "bad luck flowers" when your family is in poor health, but there is a scientific truth. When choosing and maintaining indoor plants, we should fully understand the characteristics of plants, avoid choosing plant varieties that are harmful to the human body, and let green plants truly become the health guardians in our lives.
