Humidifiers are known for adding moisture to the air, which prevents dryness and irritation in many parts of the body. Moisturizing the air can not only make your living conditions comfortable, but it could also help treat dryness and chapping of lips, skin, throat, and nose. They can also ease symptoms caused by common colds and flu.
A study by the National Academy of Sciences found that the transmission fo the influenza virus is more potent in dry conditions. With the help of humidifiers during the flu season, homeowners are more likely to create an environment that could decrease the survival of the virus.
What can you use a humidifier for?
Humidifiers act as a natural moisturizer that can relieve dryness. These machines are especially useful during the summer when the high humidity causes damp spots in your home. These spots can make allergies and asthma worse.
During the winter season, the cold air cannot hold as much moisture. Dry air can lead to itchy eyes and damage to wooden floors and furniture.
For this reason, humidifiers are often used for relieving:
Dry skin
Headache
Dry throat
Nose irritation
Bloody noses
Irritated vocal cords
Dry cough
Cracked lips
