Dry Air
When dry air is drawn inside your home by
your heating system, it acts like a sponge, seeking out and absorbing
moisture wherever it can find it. Cold, dry air will dehydrate you and
your family, drying up delicate body tissues such as your skin, eyes,
throat and nasal passages.
Nose bleeds can often result
from dry air. Nosebleeds can occur anytime the nasal membranes dry out, crust, and crack. This is common in dry
climates, or during the winter months when household air
becomes warm and dry from the use of heaters or wood-burning stoves.
'Use
a humidifier or vaporizer in your home. This will increase the
moisture and help prevent future nosebleeds.'
UC Davis School of Medicine and Medical Center
Among the most recommended solutions for
recurrent nose bleeding is home humidification. The
MiniAire
humidifier can effectively target your breathing zone by
emitting mist in a central location, while the
SonicAire humidifier can
provide the benefits of humidification for larger areas.
The SonicAire humidifier also has a
special function that emits negative ions to clean the air! This function
can be used alone or while the unit is humidifying!

Proper home humidification with air
purification qualities promotes
healthier air quality by making it less hospitable for viruses,
bacteria, and many allergens. Properly humidified air is simply
healthy air.

Dehydration
One of the most common health problems found
throughout the world is dehydration.
Between 60-70% of
an adult body is composed of water. If water isn't constantly supplied, the
tissue
within our bodies can literally dry up. The elasticity goes, and with it, function declines.
Besides dry skin, other symptoms
of dehydration include: chronic joint and muscle pain, raspy
throat, sore eyes, and a lack of mental concentration.

dryness.'

It's a fact that
Niagra Falls is one of the healthiest environments
in the world. The amount of moisture emitted, plus
the addition of a high level of naturally produced
negative ions to purify the air, makes it
a healthy environment.
The
SonicAire humidifier
combines the benefits of humidification with air purification
to provide a healthy environment for your home.

Respiratory Infections
One of the major causes of respiratory infections during cold
weather is inadequate humidification. A lack of humidity
combined with the effects of stale heated air causes an increase of
respiratory irritation as well. The
heating seasons causes many people to experience repeated attacks of
winter colds which are actually caused by dry stale air.
Colds spread through droplets from the coughing or sneezing of others
with a cold or by hand contact with objects contaminated by someone
with a cold. The main function of skin is to be a barrier to outside
bacteria, and dry skin is a less effective
barrier. Moisture in and on your body helps to repel harmful
germs. The MiniAire Humidifier
can be taken with you throughout the day to provide moisture
when needed.

Studies show that Pneumococcus
(bacterial pneumonia), staphylococcus (staph bacteria), and
streptococcus (strep throat)
bacteria die up to 20 times faster at a
Relative Humidity between 45% and
55%, than above 70% or below 20%.
The
SonicAire humidifier
combines the healing power of humidity with the cleaning power of
air purification to reduce the spread of colds and respiratory
infections. Learn more
Scientific studies conducted
over the years have shown that exposure to high levels
of negative ions (produced by air purifiers) drastically or significantly reduces
asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as
respiratory-related illness.
Using a room humidifier, like the
SonicAire humidifier,
allows you to condition the amount of moisture in the air
providing comfort and health benefits to you and those around you in
large areas.
The
MiniAire
Humidifier is designed to target the breathing zone offering
instant relief from dryness. This remarkable humidifier can be used
anywhere there's an outlet -- even in your vehicle!

Relative Humidity
Relative humidity is the measure of
the moisture content in the air. It's shown as a percentage of the
total amount of moisture air is capable of holding. For example, a
relative humidity of 40% means that the air is holding 40% of the
total moisture it can hold.
Generally, one does not want to have
home humidity any lower than 30% or higher than 65%. Lower levels can
aggravate skin allergies and respiratory infection, and higher levels
increase the spread of mold, bacteria, viruses, dust mites.

Thermostat settings
The amount of water
in the air is directly related to the temperature- dry air feels
cool to the skin.
Many people find
themselves turning up the thermostat and still feeling cold. This is
because evaporating moisture on your skin causes a cooling effect. So,
although you turned the heat up, the dry air will still absorb
moisture from your body.
Dry air removes heat
from your body, just like the evaporation of sweat. The drier the air,
the more moisture is drawn from your body and the cooler you feel.
Using a portable home humidifier can help lower heating bills
because humidified air feels warmer.
It's a fact that a
10% increase in relative humidity makes the air feel 1 degree warmer.
Setting your
thermostat back by three degrees can reduce annual heating bills by
as much as 5 percent!
