With the dry indoor air of winter on the way, now is the perfect time to get a home humidifier.
In dealing with the health and quality of home air, a focus is usually placed on impurities in the air. However, there is another factor that is nearly as important as the purity of the air you breathe, which is the concentration of moisture within it. Though many of us rarely think of it, the humidity level of the air we breathe is quite important. With the winter months now coming up, home air across the country will be dried by furnaces and heaters, making the humidity drop well below optimal levels. Luckily, home humidifiers offer a simple solution to this problem. Here are three of the top benefits of humidifiers for keeping the air in your home as healthy as possible.
 1. Humidifiers Keep Eyes and Skin Moisturized, Preventing Irritation
Most people are familiar with the dry skin that often accompanies the winter months and the feeling of eye irritation on especially cold winter mornings. What most people do not consider, however, is that these are symptoms of prolonged exposure to air that is so dry that it literally absorbs moisture from the outer surfaces of the human body. Though not a serious health concern, the irritation that can result from these conditions is extremely unpleasant and easily preventable with the use of even a small home humidifier.
 2. Reduced Risk of Asthma Attack
People suffering from asthma often find that the winter months are the most difficult time of the year because of an increased prevalence of asthma symptoms. Extremely dry air can cause the already compromised airways of asthma patients to narrow due to lack of moisture, resulting in an increased risk of asthma attacks, especially with physical exertion (such as shoveling snow). Much like exterior skin dryness, however, a quality home humidifier can help to mitigate this problem.
 3. Fewer Headaches
Like other parts of the body, the sinuses can be irritated and inflamed by excessively dry air during the winter months. This can result in sinus headaches ranging from mild to severe in their impact and painfulness. Usually, these headaches take the form of a low-level but consistent ache, rather than a severe headache. Even these, however, can be extremely annoying to live with. Among the many benefits of humidifiers is the fact that air with an increased humidity concentration will help to alleviate these frequent winter headaches.
