Health benefits of using a humidifier 

By Anujj Trehaan

1

Good for skin and hair

A humidifier adds much-needed moisture to the indoor air which gets lost due to extremely dry weather conditions. With this, your skin and hair regain moisture and feel smooth.

2

Offers relief from sore throat and cough

Dry air can hamper your upper respiratory tract, making it sore, uncomfortable, and painful. However, a humidifier moistens the air and promotes easy breathing.

3

Helps with sinus-related conditions

A humidifier can open your nasal passages and clear vocal cords of excess mucus. The increased moisture in the air helps clear dried mucus that is hard to blow.

4

Effective in reducing allergies

A humidifier can work wonders in reducing the inflammation of the tissues caused due to dry air, offering you quick and effective relief from irritants and allergens.

5

Improves sleep quality

Factually, a humidifier is also often even used in CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure treatment) machines to help patients with sleep apnea fall asleep comfortably.
