Earlier in the day, Vera Serezhina, a medical expert of the medical company LabQuest, said that a live or artificial Christmas tree is not only a choice of aesthetics and convenience, but also a question of the impact on health. She named the pros and cons of each option.

According to her, the main advantage of natural spruce is the release of essential oils rich in phytoncides, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. They disinfect the air, strengthen the immune system and nervous system, have a beneficial effect on pulmonary respiration. However, this benefit does not last long - after one or two days, the content of phytoncides sharply decreases. At the same time, the risk of fungus on the tree increases, which is dangerous for asthmatics and people with weakened immunity, the expert said.
