Why do you need a humidifier? Our home heating and cooling systems make extremes of weather more bearable. However, they dry out the air in the process. A mist humidifier solves this problem by releasing a steady stream of water vapor.  

The top benefits include the following: 

• It keeps your lips and skin moist and supple: Dry air saps the moisture from your skin, leaving it feeling dry, tight, and itchy—the tender skin on the lips and the hands fares worst in low humidity conditions.
• It protects your throat: The air’s drying effects can extend inside your body. As you inhale, the mucosal membrane of the throat dries out, affecting your vocal cords and causing your voice to become hoarse and scratchy. 
• It helps keep the sinuses clear: Moist air soothes the sinus cavity and helps the body to keep it clear of mucous. The additional moisture lubricates the passages and makes it easier for the body to clear congestion. 
• It supports your body’s immune response: As you inhale through your nose, the air passes through a series of tiny hairs. These hairs, or cilia, trap foreign particles like dust and bacteria, keeping you healthy. To function correctly, they require slight humidity. 
• It reduces snoring: The tissues become less firm when there is insufficient moisture in the mouth and throat. They are, therefore, more likely to slump into the throat and cause an obstruction of your breathing, resulting in snoring. 
• It regulates the temperature in your home: The drier the air, the icier it tends to feel. Increasing the humidity can improve your comfort in both summer and winter by keeping the temperature even.
