Russians were told about the danger of finding lilacs at home

A bouquet of lilacs in the bedroom can cause serious health problems, including headaches, arrhythmias, and even blurred vision. Tatiana Khrynova, Deputy Director of the Botanical Garden of Nizhny Novgorod State University, told about this on May 14.

"Lilac bouquets should only be placed in a ventilated room, in no case in the bedroom, as the smell of lilac causes a severe headache," the botanist explained in an interview with RIA Novosti.

The expert noted that lilac leaves and flowers contain syringin, a cardiac glycoside that can disrupt the heart rhythm, cause insomnia, headaches, and in rare cases lead to blurred vision and a decrease in blood platelet levels. At the same time, everyone's sensitivity to this substance is different, and some people may have allergic reactions.

According to Hrynova, it is best to place lilac bouquets either on the terrace, or in the living room by an open window, or on the veranda, where lilacs will not harm anyone.
