Running a humidifier can alleviate seasonal allergies and keep your nasal passages moist and comfortable (which is particularly important for those who like to blast the air conditioner all day and night).
How does a humidifier work?
Humidifiers add moisture to the air to prevent dryness, leading to irritated skin, scratchy throats, and uncomfortable sinus issues. Some people may use a humidifier to relieve cold and flu symptoms, eczema, sinusitis, and seasonal allergies.
That said, overusing a humidifier or using an improperly cleaned humidifier can cause bacteria and mold growth(Opens in a new tab), so it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and maintenance.
What type of humidifier is best?
Of course, the type of humidifier that's best for you and your home will depend on your specific needs and preferences, your budget, and the size of the room you're trying to humidify. Some popular options include central humidifiers, impeller humidifiers, evaporators, steam vaporizers, and ultrasonic humidifiers.
