Some people experience respiratory symptoms in the summer when the weather is hot and the air contains more allergens. Air conditioners and fans circulate dry air through the room, and air conditioners remove a lot of moisture from the air. During this season, humidifiers are beneficial.
However, people are more likely to benefit from humidifiers during the colder months when the cold air dries out the lungs, nose and lips. In addition, certain types of central heating can dry out indoor air. Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air can solve these problems.
The Usefulness Of Essential Oil Diffuser Air Humidifier
1. Prevent the flu
Humidifiers can reduce the risk of contracting the flu. With humidity levels above 40%, virus particles are rapidly inactivated, making them much less contagious.
2. Moisten the respiratory tract
Dry air can lead to a dry, ineffective cough. Increasing air humidity allows more moisture to enter the respiratory tract, thus making coughing more efficient. An efficient cough will release trapped or sticky phlegm.
3. Reduce snoring
Increasing the humidity in the air can also reduce snoring. If the air is dry, a person's airways are less likely to be adequately lubricated, which can make snoring worse.
Increasing the humidity in the air by running a humidifier at night may help relieve some of the symptoms.
4. Keep skin and hair moist
Some people notice that their skin, lips and hair become dry and brittle during the winter months.
Many types of heating devices pump dry, hot air into the house or office, which can dry, itchy or flaky skin. Meanwhile, the cold air outside can dry out the skin.
Using a humidifier to increase the humidity of indoor air may help reduce the occurrence of dry, cracked skin.
5. Benefits to the home
The moisture provided by a humidifier can be helpful in the home. Any houseplants that like humidity may become more vigorous and wood floors or furniture may last longer. Humidity also helps prevent wallpaper cracking and static buildup. Humid air will also be warmer than dry air.

The Story Of Humidifier
"It gives you a good night's sleep"
My ferritin levels have been so erratic that I often have problems with fatigue, insomnia, and weakness in my limbs. It was insomnia that affected me the most. I searched for many things, ASMR, rain sound, sleep aids, melatonin, etc.. But nothing worked. Until I tried using this aromatherapy humidifier + the lavender essential oil I purchased. My biological clock finally got better and I can sleep well every day!
"We simply couldn’t be more delighted with this Humidifier!"
At last I can actually BREATHE (literally!!) a HUGE sigh of relief! We simply couldn’t be more delighted with this Humidifier!
It definitely seems like the rest of the world was enlightened while I was kept in the dark about the fact that numb toes, chattering teeth and the flu are not necessarily the most perilous part of winter!
I recently moved to New York from Florida. I was beyond excited to experience the 4 seasons, despite knowing that I might have to dig my way out of 2 ft of snow at times, and the dangers of blizzards and black ice.
However, what NO ONE prepared me for was this DREADFULL DRYNESS that lasts HALF A YEAR and makes me feel literally like HALF A HUMAN! I’m NOT kidding.
Seriously, how do people FUNCTION? As soon as the cold set in I began waking up with a terrible thirst and dryness. My tongue felt like sandpaper against the roof of my mouth and my voice could barely croak in the morning. My nose was somehow wet and stuffed, yet dry and burning all at once! (Blowing my nose just caused a nosebleed!) My eyelids literally pasted to my eyeballs and if by some miraculous chance, despite feeling like this, I DID wake up feeling cheery enough to grin…. I daren’t allow the slightest smile to stretch across my lips lest they sprout half a dozen bloody cracks!! OUCH. And EWWW. What the hell???!!!
But the worst was still waking up all cotton brained and headachy! Copious amounts of coffee didn’t do a darn thing to lift the fog so I could function! I was feeling so terrible I began thinking I was suffering from depression. I never felt so awful in my life!
Then my 3 year old came down with a really nasty cold that left a lingering dry cough lasting about a week after all the other symptoms were gone. Maddeningly persistent at night, it would simply disappear without a trace in the morning. It was really hard to watch her suffer so much! She’d wake herself up as her whole body wracked with these coughs! I was seriously at the brink of my sanity!!! Every night I’d swear that I’d be at the Doctors office first thing in the morning and every morning she woke up “all better” so no need! After one nightly coughing attack caused her to VOMIT I got my fat a$$ to the Pediatrician because by then I was really alarmed.
Doctor was cool as a cucumber “Welcome to winter and I’m willing to bet you guys have central heat at home…” Well, I sure do! It was the BEST perk of our new apartment not having to worry about the kids touching radiators! Who knew it only aggravated this winter dry air situation?! Who knew there WAS a winter dry air situation?! Not me! That’s for sure!
He suggested getting a Humidifier and I was sure I heard wrong! I use a DE-humidifier so that my clothes could dry faster than it could start smelling of mold if I hung it to dry indoors!
We got a decent Humidifier actually that we THOUGHT was effective and we were happy with (even though it leaked! I thought that was just part of it!)……Until it broke after a few weeks and the company refused to send us a new oneL! After being stiffed once, I did some research and settled on the AquaOasis. Had some awesome reviews, looked sleek and strong, and loved that it has a built in self filtering feature. (And boy, it even passed my husband’s curiosity test. Happens to be an electrician and has this thing with electronics!
Anyway, the price was well worth it and this operates in virtual silence! I literally need to put my ear to the machine to hear a soft low hum… Nothing like the grating ruckus of my previous one!
Been using this for a few weeks and simply couldn’t be happier! I feel sooo much better! My daughters cough is totally gone and I wake up feeling well rested, invigorated and ALIVE! Headaches are gone, my eyeballs aren’t in a “sticky relationship” with my eyelids anymore and I’m not scared my lips’ll “pop” if I laugh by mistake!! I feel so exhilarated, so alive…so, well…HUMIDIFIED!! It sounds cliché but it’s TRUE!!!!!! Best investment ever!
….AND…. I saved the best part for last here …. Do you know what THE FREAK’N HELL I DISCOVERED folks??! My Psoriasis and eczema improved so dramatically that I came right back here to buy one for my mom who suffers from eczema too! I tell you these Humidifiers are the BEAST!
Anyway, will keep you posted if anything changes but so far so good! I just wish all of life’s problems were so easily and neatly fixable!
Stay warm folks… and HUMIDIFIED ;)!
"I hope this helps you in your buying decision and that it is a good product."
This little baby is amazing! I live in the desert where it is very dry. This little wonder helps keep my sinuses from drying out while I'm sleeping. It is SOOOO QUIET! I have a hard time sleeping and wake up a lot. It never wakes me. Once in a while it makes a gentle bubbling sound but I find it pleasant. I keep it on the night stand by my bed less than 2 feet from my head. It puts out a wonderful cool fog. Nothing gets wet, I've been keeping a bandana under it but I find there is no need of it. It has never leaked. If yours leaks you're doing something wrong. The tank plug does need to be screwed on firmly but don't get crazy. I only use DISTILLED water. This means no scaly build up and no cleaning needed. Instead, once a week I remove the tank from the bath, remove the plug, pour out any remaining water from the tank and bath, gently dry the bath using a soft cloth and leave it all to dry for the day. That night I fill it up again and I'm good to go for the next week just filling as needed. I really love it and would definitely buy it again! If they had bigger ones I'd buy them for bigger rooms to keep my whole house nice.
"Great job to whoever designed it. Two thumbs up!"
Humidifier works FANTASTIC for my carnivorous plants, I was very nervous at first purchasing a product I had never tried before. Some of the plants I have in this grow tent I have spent a lot of money on and was nervous that it wouldn’t do the job and kill them. But this humidifier is really great, it’s worth every penny since purchasing and putting it into my tent my plants have been flourishing and never looked better. It keeps my humidity at the perfect level and if needed to this humidifier can really chuck some vapor.
"It is essential for my room!"
I have had allergies and sinus issues for some time, as well as liking to have the AC/fan running when I sleep, all of which contribute to my nose and throat feeling dry when I wake up. I have had other humidifiers in the past, and they either get dirty quickly, are too loud, and/or leak. This humidifier does none of the above - it is fantastic.
It's easily the quietest unit I've had, it's super easy to clean, easy to use (water filling and functions), and my favorite part - it lasts for a LONG period of time. I tend to run it at about half strength/power when I sleep (so about 8 hours) and it uses between a third to half the water. Past units have barely had any water left in the morning, and may have not made it another hour.
The size is great, it hardly take up any room whatsoever - I keep it on my nightstand and it just takes up one corner. For the small size you would never think the mist would be as much as it is, but it generates a ton!
I would say this is a great individual room humidifier; I live in an apartment, so I typically just use it in my bedroom, but it could definitely handle my living room space too.
