Use a Humidifier to Keep Nasal Passages Moist: It's Not Too Late to Help Combat Colds and Flu This Winter

Euclid, OH, February 4, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Using a humidifier is an effective and affordable way to make sure the air humidity level in your home or workplace isn’t too low or too dry which can dry out skin and mucous membranes, making one more susceptible to sickness.  However, one concern associated with humidifiers is that mold and bacteria can grow in the water tank and then send that contaminated air out into the room. 

Guardian Technologies’ line of PureGuardian® Ultrasonic Humidifiers has Silver Clean™ technology to fight the growth of bacteria and mold in the water tank.  Silver has been used and valued for centuries for its ability to keep food and drinks fresh and to prevent certain bacterial growth. In fact, silver is known to kill up to 650 species of viruses and bacteria simply by coming in contact with them.  

Indoor humidity can be extremely low in the winter months. Normally, the moisture inside of the nose, secreted by mucous membranes, help to trap pathogens, bacteria and dangerous particles before they enter the airway and lungs. However, often when indoor heating is used, the normally moist and healthy tissue that lines the nasal passages, become dry too.   When this happens, small cracks in the tissue open and disease-causing pathogens can enter.* 

Using a humidifier can help to retain moisture in the nasal passages.  Most of the PureGuardian Ultrasonic humidifiers have the option for warm or cool humidification and have no added cost because there are no wicks, filters or evaporating pads to replace. All models have extended run times ranging from 10 to 120 hours depending on the model. And, thanks to ultrasonic technology, they are all virtually silent when running, perfect for while you sleep.  

There are PureGuardian Ultrasonic humidifiers for every budget and application:

Table top humidifiers are a great choice to keep bedside, for travel, a nursery, or a child’s room.
