Humidifiers, vaporizers, air filters, and air purifiers can help soothe or reduce the unpleasant symptoms associated with sinus problems, allergies, coughs, and the common cold. CVS offers a wide selection of the best humidifiers and vaporizers to help you find relief. Read on to learn more about how these beneficial products work and what they can do to help you feel better.

A vaporizer, sometimes called a steam vaporizer, is a device that boils water and then releases the warm steam into the room to increase moisture in the air. Many people wonder: what is the difference between a humidifier and vaporizer? Vaporizers and humidifiers are actually closely related. In fact, vaporizer is term used to talk about a specific type of humidifier - the warm mist humidifier. These devices, commonly called vaporizers but sometimes referred to as warm mist humidifiers, work by boiling water and releasing the resulting steam into the air. In this way, a warm steam vaporizer helps to increase the moisture in the room, which may help people with nasal congestion from allergies, dry or congested sinuses, coughs, or the common cold find some relief from their congestion symptoms.

If you are worried about the risk of spreading bacteria, vaporizers may be a better choice for you as compared to cool mist humidifiers. This is because a steam vaporizer boils the water it uses, which kills most of the bacteria that could be present in the water used. However, it is still very important to clean your home vaporizer regularly. You should aim to clean your vaporizer at least once every three days and change the water in the tank on a daily basis. It is a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific device and follow the cleaning guidelines carefully.

Use caution when using a warm steam vaporizer around children or pets. If they are curious and get too close, the hot steam emitting from the vaporizer could burn or injure them. A steam inhaler, sometimes referred to as a sinus vaporizer, vaporizer mask, or personal humidifier mask, are small devices that fit over the mouth and nose of the user like a mask. These devices don't carry as much of a risk for children or pets, since they aren't left out in a room and are controlled by the user the entire time that they are operational. Some people may find that a personal steam inhaler offers relief from nasal or sinus congestion symptoms very effectively. And because steam inhalers don't send steam into the surrounding space like a traditional room humidifier or room vaporizer, it is possible to enjoy the benefits of warm steam without worrying that pets or children will be harmed by the steam. However, it is still important to operate and store your steam inhaler away from children and pets and clean the device regularly to prevent bacteria and mold from growing.

Humidifiers may help soothe minor health problems caused by dry air indoors, such as dry sinuses. So, how does a humidifier work? Humidifiers work by emitting water vapor or steam to increase moisture in the surrounding air. Using a home humidifier may help you feel more comfortable if you have a cold, if you have nasal congestion, or if you have dry sinus passages. While there are certainly many humidifier benefits, if you have allergies to indoor allergens such as dust mites or mold, you should talk to your doctor before using a humidifier. Because humidifiers add moisture to the air, they create the perfect warm and wet conditions that dust mites love, which could spell disaster for you and your indoor allergies! Not overusing your humidifier may help. You may also be wondering how to prevent mold in the humidifier. We recommend cleaning your humidifier and changing the humidifier filter regularly. You should refer to the cleaning instructions that come with the product and follow them carefully. Your doctor may be able to offer additional suggestions about how to enjoy the benefits of a home humidifier without worsening your allergies.
