Vaporizers and Cool Mist Humidifiers
Improve respiratory health by using cool mist humidifiers and vaporizers from CVS that keep the air in your home moist and breathable. Designed to combat dry air, these medical appliances reduce throat irritation that can cause persistent coughing or illness in the winter. Whether you need basic vaporizers that release warm steam to help you sleep better or cool mist humidifiers that work with essential oils for sinus and congestion relief, CVS may have the best humidifiers for your needs from brands you can trust, such as Vicks, Treva and Sharper Image.
Do Vaporizers Help With Allergies?
Because cool mist humidifiers and vaporizers add moisture to the air, they often help alleviate the symptoms of allergies without the need for allergy medications. Dry air irritates nasal passages and the throat, which creates an environment where allergens thrive. Likewise, particulates fly through dry air more easily than they move through humid air, so allergens, such as pet dander and pollen, spread more easily in drier settings. As humidifiers increase the moisture in the air, they help minimize the presence of allergens in the air you breathe. The hydration offered by the best humidifiers extends from your nasal passages to your skin itself, reducing allergens that cause itching and require topical antihistamines for relief.
Do Vaporizers Help With Cough?
Vaporizers can help with coughs and may even help prevent illnesses during cough, cold and flu season. When the air is dry, you tend to cough more because your airways are also dry. This dryness, in turn, leads to inflammation and irritation that may trigger reflexive coughing. Cool mist humidifiers and vaporizers bring balance back to your space by adding moisture to the air that helps you breathe better and cough less. Likewise, when you're already ill, vaporizers and cool mist humidifiers deliver hydrating moisture that may soothe coughing and also reduce mucus congestion.
How Do You Clean Vaporizers?
For optimal use and to protect your health, clean vaporizers and cool mist humidifiers regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Without proper cleaning, these health and medicine essentials can accumulate mold and mildew. For most of the best humidifiers, you should unplug and disassemble the unit, empty and rinse the water container, clean all the removable parts, change humidifier filter, and descale the unit if necessary. Next, wipe down the exterior with an all-purpose cleaner, reassemble and refill, and you're ready for reuse.
