So many Americans suffer from frequent nosebleeds every year, and relief can sometimes be hard to come by.
Most people already know that a humidifier adds humidity to your home’s air while a dehumidifier takes it away. However, many aren’t sure which is best for their annoying symptoms.
The fact is, in the face of nosebleeds, most experts recommend a whole-house humidifier to help.
What Causes Nosebleeds?
In the winter especially, the dry air in your home can cause a number of annoying symptoms including dry skin irritation, cracked lips, dry eyes and even nosebleeds.
Low humidity means that the natural moisture of your nose is evaporated. The dryness can negatively affect the sensitive nasal blood vessels and, therefore, cause nosebleeds. While nosebleeds can have many causes, dry air is the most common.
How Humidifiers Help
Humidifiers serve to place humidity back into the air so that your home’s levels remain healthy. Human skin requires around 30-40% humidity in order to stay healthy. Using a humidifier to reach this level can not only improve symptoms of nosebleeds, but prevent them from occurring at all.
Moist sinuses will help protect the sensitive nasal blood vessels from rupturing. Additionally, it is more difficult for bacteria and viruses to travel through nasal passages that are moist. This means that a humidifier can help individuals heal from colds as well.
