A relative of mine has been complaining about her nasal problems – sneezing, colds, cough, and other sickness - that continue to recur even though she’s been taking anti-allergy medications. We thought it was just the dust and the microscopic particles scattering around the house because she has lots of animals living with her family. A week ago, she gave all animals to our other relatives in hope of alleviating the problem. Then, she hired a house help so the house is kept clean and dust-free. She thought the cause of allergies was treated; but when she called me up yesterday, I was greeted by a sneezing voice and apparently, the same illness caught her only days ago.
When I visited her, I see a number of real “green” things decorating some sections of the house – in the foyer, in the living room, in the kitchen, and even in the bathroom. The indoor/outdoor plants, trees, and flowers look great with the house; I instantly fell in love with the natural glow and fresh atmosphere that they provided in the house. However, when she sneezed in front of me, I was reminded of something else. My thoughts flew to the pollen particles coming from these “real green” ornaments. I knew it right then that all cause of the illness was not actually eliminated.
That’s when I suggested that she has to get rid of the living ornaments. Much as I hate seeing the natural colors the lovely plants and trees are giving the house going away, they have to go because I want her to stop sneezing and getting frequently sick due to the allergies. She also got upset that the colors have to go, but I got one great solution in mind. There are faux silk plants, which look as lovely and as real like those living plants, to cure the problem. These are ideal as they not only look great at indoors and outdoors, but they last long as well. And, most importantly, they are not genuine green plants; meaning, they don’t contain pollen articles, which were triggering more her allergies.
Another advantage of using faux silk foliage is that it is not that hard to maintain – without the need to plant everyday, trim, or the likes. Well, if you are suffering dilemma the same as my cousin, why not have faux silk plants in your house too?
