Don’t let your guard down for even one second my fellow Brits. If you’re anywhere in the UK, then the cold season is always nearby waiting to rear its cold evil head into the mix. But that’s not the worst part; we’re already used to that. It’s the combination of Winter’s chilly, dry air and an amped up home heating system that can really wreak havoc on your respiratory system. Not to mention dry up your skin and cause an array of health issues.
Fortunately, there are all sorts of different ways to return the lost moisture to the atmosphere and make sure it stays that way. When it comes to improving the air quality of your home all year round, humidifiers are without question the best option.
Not only do these handy appliances make the air in your home pleasant and healthier, but they help combat the effects of dry air such as cottonmouth, chapped lips, cracked skin, allergy triggers, and many more. So not only will you breathe better, but sleep better too. But why stop there when you can make the most of your humidifier?
That’s right, by adding a secret ingredient in your humidifier, you can reap 100 times the benefits that you usually do. I’m talking about essential oils; these distilled, natural concentrates extracted straight from nature contain the original plant’s medicinal and healing properties. Not to mention the pleasant scents and soothing aromas that cleanse the air and uplift your moods.
In today’s segment, we’ll show how to create your own essential oil nirvana with some of the best humidifiers for the job.
