What Health Benefits Does a Humidifier Provide?
Conditioning the amount of moisture in the air is necessary for your family s health. One of the major causes of respiratory infections is excessive heating during cold weather. The start of furnace heating each fall causes many people to begin having repeated attacks of winter colds. Winter weather is blamed for these problems, but, the actual cause is dryness which develops in the membranes of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes, due to the dry air produced by artificial heating. A humidifier keeps the indoor air comfortably moist, despite high heating demands. With central heating, people are confined indoors with unnaturally dry air for six to eight months a year. Humidifiers let you choose the humidity level, so even in the coldest winter months, you can keep your respiratory system moist.
