Usage:

• Healthier climate and additional protection for pets, plants, inventory as well as for professional and hobby use:
• Relative humidity often falls below the recommended range for living and working spaces, especially during the heating season. This has an unfavourable effect on the well-being and health of people and animals and can also promote diseases of the respiratory system if the indoor air is permanently very dry. A climate that is too dry can also be harmful to furnishings and plants. This effect can be counteracted with our humidifier.
• In the field of human medicine, a balanced humidity of the ambient air is recommended. However, especially in closed, poorly ventilated and well-heated rooms, humidity levels often fall below these values, which can lead to reduced respiratory performance and impairment of the skin and mucous membranes. This is particularly the case in winter, as the cold outside air then only has a low absolute humidity. It should therefore be humidified with a humidifier once it has warmed up to room temperature to prevent the relative humidity from falling too low.
• In very cold areas or at cold times of the year or at night, the human organism often consumes more fluids, although the opposite should be assumed due to the lack of fluid loss through sweating. This is due to the humidification of the dry inhaled air and the associated loss of water. If the cold outside air is warmed during inhalation, its water vapour capacity increases and thus also lowers the relative humidity. In contrast, the saturation deficit increases and the tendency of the liquid lung tissue water to change into the gaseous aggregate state increases. In summer or when the ambient air is warm, the inhaled air is hardly heated any further and therefore usually retains its high relative humidity. If the additional water loss through sweating is not too great here, the body's water requirement is therefore higher in cold ambient conditions.
• Increased humidity is beneficial for breathing, as oxygen then reaches the bloodstream more easily via the alveoli. The skin requires a high level of humidity in order not to dry out, as this is closely linked to skin moisture. Mucous membranes are particularly susceptible to drying out as they have little protection against evaporation and are dependent on high humidity to maintain their functions. A low level of moisture in the nasal mucosa can result in an increased incidence of nosebleeds. In general, this also weakens the skin's immune defence (increased risk of colds) and reduces its ability to exchange substances, which particularly affects the oral mucosa. The susceptibility to skin irritation, redness or even skin inflammation is also increased by low humidity. Source: wikipedia
