Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment (bodhi) while meditating underneath a Bodhi tree.

Scientific Fact
*Few people are skeptic if Peepal emits oxygen at night time too. In scientific term It is possible through CAM process..CAM occurs primarily in desert plants and epiphytes (plants that live on other plants, generally on large trees). CAM plants do not open their stomata during the day in order to minimize water loss. During the night, they open their stomata and fix CO{-2} in the form of malate . So, Peepal tree would either release or not release CO{-2} in the night depending on if they are epiphytic or not. For other CAM plants, it would depend on if they have enough water or not, or other climatic factors..
* Its leaves absorb moisture from the atmosphere and regulates the hydrological cycle.
* It releases large quantity of Isoprene (volatile organic compound) which protect the ozone layer.
* The sap of the tree contains an enzyme that can increase child bearing capacity.
* Since It releases more oxygen than that other trees we could find Peepal tree in most of the temples and in olden days the tree used to be in the center of the village so the atmosphere will be clean.
Our body detoxify itself , 70% through breathing, 20% through perspiration, 8% through urination and 2% through the bowels. It give us the clear idea about the importance of having clean air in our society! The ratio of oxygen to other elements in the Earth's atmosphere has been dropping over several decades. Maximum health issues are due to polluted air and the reduction of greenery . Highest polluted areas , such as cities, have a lower percentage of oxygen along with highest level of toxic gases in the air. Hoping this bitter truth will help to illustrate the value of bringing both oxygen producing plants along with air cleaning foliage in our society for healthy life.
So encourage all to initiate this practice and thus helping our society to return to the positive healthy era :)
