In autumn and winter, air humidity decreases naturally to reach its lowest annual levels. Heating systems contribute to a further reduction in air humidity. Meanwhile, in the summer months air conditioning systems, especially in dry climates, can deplete the air of its natural humidity.
A correct humidity level protects nose, throat and respiratory tract mucous membranes from dehydration, making them less vulnerable to viruses and bacteria causing diseases such as colds, rhinitis, headache, sore throat, etc.
Humidifiers return the environment to its ideal humidity, which should never be less than 50% (ideally 50-55%).
Hot steam humidifiers heat the water in a tank to 100°C, releasing a continuous flow of clean vapour, while a practical essential oil holder enables the dispersal of balsamic fragrances.
