Humidifiers do really work as long as you maintain them and clean them often enough.

Humidifiers work great at helping you breathe and help with colds, flues, congestion etc.

Especially during the winter humidifiers can be helpful at keeping moisture in the air and prevent your mouth from drying out.

The humidifiers also help make the room feel much warmer as well.

I always use a humidifier in my home and room at night in the winter or when I'm sick and the humidifier does really help me breathe better and help me get over my cold and flu much faster.

I'm less congested and cough less with a humidifier.

You can also have a whole house humidifier added to your furnace which adds moisture to the whole house and keeps the air from drying out.

Humidifiers are beneficial for adults and children during sleep.

Sleep itself aids in repair, rejuvenation and maintenance of our immune system.

Adding a humidifier to your bedroom can bolster the effects sleeping naturally provides.

Humidifiers can ease problems caused by dry air.

But they need regular maintenance.

And cool-mist humidifiers also may help ease symptoms of a cold or other respiratory condition.

But be cautious: Although useful, humidifiers can make you sick if they aren't maintained properly or if humidity levels stay too high.
