How do humidifiers help with allergies? And what can I do to combat dry air?
Dry air can lead to a host of problems for allergy and asthma sufferers. Dry climates, winter air, and artificial heat all contribute to the discomfort caused by dry skin, dry throats, and irritated noses (which can lead to sinusitis). Winter is an especially bad time for dry air. Home heating systems, especially forced-air systems, reduce the amount of moisture in the air which leads to a home environment that is dry.
