What Does Humidifier Do?

What are humidifiers? Humidifiers are devices that release water vapor or steam to increase moisture levels in the air (humidity).

Is it good to sleep with a humidifier?

Air-conditioned air can dry out your sinuses, nasal passages, and throat when you sleep, leading to inflammation and swelling in these sensitive tissues. Using a humidifier while you sleep in the summer helps alleviate these symptoms of dry air, as well as seasonal allergies.

When should you use a humidifier?

Use a humidifier:
  1. When days feel cool and dry.
  2. When you feel your sinuses and lips begin to get dry and irritated.
  3. When you are struggling with asthma or other breathing/allergy issues.
  4. When the humidity level in your indoor air drops below 30 percent.
