indoor plants, such as yucca, are a great option for a healthier lifestyle.

cleaners and air fresheners. Learn more about cleaning indoor air at O2 For You.
Yuccas are a great plant for filtering out indoor air pollutants. That combined with how easy they are to
care for, make them a popular choice for natural indoor air filtration.
Joint Pain and Inflammation
Joint
pain caused by inflammation is a common health problem. However, many people
cannot take over-the-counter NSAIDs for various reasons. Yucca roots, boiled
for about half an hour and taken as tea, are a traditional Native American
remedy that takes advantage of the steroidal properties of the plant to combat
this problem. Roots are easy to harvest and dry as part of the pruning and
dividing processes used to keep yuccas at a manageable size, so will be easy to
integrate into a gardener’s life.
Soaps and Other Household Uses
In
addition to its other desirable qualities, yucca leaves have antibacterial
properties which make it an ideal natural alternative to other cleaners. You
can make everything from
soap,
to general purpose household cleaners using yucca leaves.
So,
if you are looking for a trendy, marketable plant to interest your regular
consumers and attract new clientele, give yucca, and its multiple uses a
try.
