In the past, many people were perplexed by why they would be minding their own business and suddenly they would begin to sneeze, their eyes would be watery, they would be congested at night not to mention general breathing issues such as sore throats and dry ski. Many of us when we experience these issues we simply take Nyquil or Tylenol or Claritin. This is because these flu-like symptoms are associated with flu or the approach of one. Others even pay to get flu shots to halt the advance of what they believe is flu. An even greater number of people term certain times of the year when these symptoms are most prevalent, the “flu season”. But what many of these people do not know is these symptoms are completely preventable and not with medicine or flu shots but with a humidifier. You see, the air that we breathe has to have a certain moisture level usually 30%.If the moisture level in the air that we breathe falls below 30%, the air is too dry and will cause irritation. Dry air can cause nose bleeds, nasal inflammation, sore throats, flu-like symptoms and fever, dry skin and itching, headaches, watery eyes, more frequent asthma attacks if you have asthma, congestion especially at night and so on. Instead of rushing out to get medicine or a flu shot, get an air humidifier. This will eliminate many of these symptoms and have you breathing well again.
The air can become dry due to various reasons. One is if you are running a fireplace especially the old fashioned ones which use wood. The fire in the fireplaces can diminish the quality of the moisture present in the air and result in breathing issues. If you live in very cold region you might want to think about getting a Honeywell humidifier.
The Honeywell humidifier has patented technology that sends water or moisture into the air by first purifying it of all dust and impurities then warming it slightly to just the right temperature., thereby increasing humidity to a more optimal level. In order for optimal breathing and best breathing and therefore quality of life to be experienced, the moisture content in the air must be maintained between 30 and 50 percent. A moisture content that is less than this affects the mucous membranes inside the nasal cavity and cause a higher than usual bacteria buildup.
The Honeywell humidifiers use technology that warms and then mists. The humidifier heats water using a special heater located inside the device then sends it into the air while in the cool or warm mist depending on what settings are selected. Other than just heat and then mist the air, today’s Honeywell humidifiers also filter out dust and bacteria from the moisture before releasing it into the air. They thus act as air purifiers and humidifiers at the same time. The air filter has to be changed periodically if the Honeywell humidifier is to function well.
