A humidifier adds moisture to the air and helps you breathe better when the environment is dry, which is common in winter with heating or air conditioning. We'll tell you about its benefits and how to use it correctly.
What is a humidifier used for?
Maintaining an adequate ambient humidity (around 40-60%) helps to:
- Relieve dryness in the respiratory tract, nose, and throat.
- Reduce congestion and the discomfort of colds and catarrh.
- Hydrate dry skin and lips.
- Improve rest, especially in bedrooms with heating.
- Create a more comfortable environment in the baby's room.
Ultrasonic humidifier with aromas
Ultrasonic humidifiers generate a silent cool mist, consume little energy, and many include night lights and an essential oil diffuser for aromatherapy. They are ideal for the bedroom due to their low noise.
How to use it well (and safely)
- Preferably use distilled or low-mineral water to avoid limescale and white dust.
- Clean the tank frequently (ideally daily) to prevent mold and bacteria.
- Do not exceed 60% humidity; excess humidity promotes mites and mold.
- Place it on a firm, slightly elevated surface, away from electronic devices.
- If using essential oils, check that your model is suitable, and with babies, consult a pediatrician first.
