The rapid urbanization and shrinking green spaces exacerbate the environmental crisis, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions. Medicinal plants, long cherished for their health benefits, present a promising natural solution to mitigate air pollution. This article examines the role of medicinal indoor plants in purifying urban air, leveraging both traditional ecological knowledge and modern urban planning strategies. The specific aim of this paper is to explore how these indoor plants can improve air quality, reduce harmful pollutants, and foster a healthier, more sustainable urban environment. By integrating medicinal indoor plants like Tulsi, Aloe Vera, and Peace Lily into urban landscapes, we can enhance ecological balance, promote public health, and reconnect cities with nature, offering a viable path to urban air quality improvement.- Reproduced https://sajospsglobal.com/current.html
