Ficus benjamina

Ficus benjamina, commonly known as weeping fig or Benjamin's fig, is a traditional ornamental plant widely used in indoor landscaping. While it has no specific traditional medicinal uses recorded across various cultures, studies have shown its potential in environmental remediation and dye removal. Research indicates that Ficus benjamina can vary in its ability to reduce volatile organic compounds such as BTEX, with efficiencies ranging widely. Additionally, green-synthesized copper nanoparticles from the leaves of this plant have been effective in removing Reactive Yellow S3R dye from aqueous solutions, while NiO/MnO2 nanocomposites showed higher efficiency for malachite green dye removal compared to NiO alone. Ficus benjamina has also demonstrated potential in reducing PM2.5 levels by up to 25%, contributing to air pollution mitigation efforts through phytoremediation. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded, but further research is needed to fully understand its applications and effects.
