How many drops of eucalyptus oil do I need in my child's warm air humidifier?

January 25th, 2011

My 10 week old has a little cough and some congestion. The pediatrician is not worried, but I would like to provide some relief to my child. I would like to add some eucalyptus oil to our Vicks Warm Air humidifier. Our model has a liquid medicine chamber just for this purpose. How many drops of oil should I add per night and do I need to mix the drops with another substance like olive oil? Are there other essential oils that are beneficial to babies to encourage relaxation during sleep?

Is it necessary to have a humidifier and fan in nursery?

November 25th, 2010

We have been told that a humidifier is good if you live in dry climate (we do) but that also a fan would be helpful to keep fresh air circulating. That seems like a lot of appliances on at once in a smaller room. Do we really need both? We live in a condo building so our nursery does not have a window as it is towards our front door which is in an indoor hallway, so a fan is probably a good idea, the humidifier I am not so sure of. What do you think?

Warm humid air in a boa enclosure?

November 7th, 2010

What is the point of cool-air humidifiers?

November 6th, 2010

Humidifiers are primarily used during the dry season; which could also be considered the cold season. So, it makes sense for there to be hot-air humidifiers but where do cold-air models fit in? You still need to keep your room warm, but with some heating options like hot air heat it seems like it would cancel out any benefit of having a cold-air humidifier, since it would have to be on high constantly just to compensate for the heating. I’ve heard many people say it’s good to keep your room cool even when you have a cold/sore throat but I don’t understand how this could be better than the healing benefits of hot steam air or even a sauna. What are the benefits of a cold room? It’s 75 in my room right now and I’m still cold because this evaporative cold-air humidifier is pumping out cold air. I’m thinking I’ll trade it in for a Vick’s vapor rub humidifier. What’s the correct answer here?

Thanks for any help.

October 31st, 2010

Just installed an Flow Though AIR KING 6000 Humidifier with an electronic display. The display keeps flashing the original factory settings. When I adjust the temp it resets and continures flashing.

Should I use a humidifier in South Florida?

October 30th, 2010

We have had a couple of cold fronts blow in this week and my son’s voice has been a little hoarse, he has had a slightly stuffy nose, breathing heavier at night and has been generally cranky. He is 7 months old. I am not sure if it is allergens in the air or that the air is drier than normal. I don’t think the symptoms are severe enough to be a cold. Should I use a humidifier or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

The air in my house is really dry, what brand humidifier should I get?

October 27th, 2010

I swear I go through humidifiers like crazy! All the ones I get just seem to kind of spray a mist into the air in the area of the humidifier but the overall moisture in the room never gets better. The past 3 that Ive had (and they werent cheep!) i put right next to my bed….. it misted water into the air and soaked my nightstand and side of my bed…and even though it was less than a foot away from my head, I still find myself waking up stuffy and dry.

Sometimes I boil a pot of water on the stove and the steam seems to really help the air in my kitchen/dining room….but I obviously cant keep a pot of boiling water on the stove all night (and its not realistic for adding moisture to the bedrooms..)..

What brand humidifier can you reccomend for me? I dont have a tun of money to spend but I’m willing to pay for something that works really well.
Not looking for an air purifyer or filter..just something to add moister into the room.
I do have a honeywell air filter that I love.

How to raise the humidity to the furnace dry air?

October 21st, 2010

My son has asthma and is very sensitive to dry air from the furnance. Someone told me that I can add a furnace humidifier. But there is not enough room near to furnace to do that. I am wondering whether there is any furnace or portable heater which comes with humidifier built in it. A separate humidifier doesn’t seem to help my son so far.

Thanks

Can too much dry air contribute to a person getting sick?

October 20th, 2010

I drive semi for a living and it tends to get very dry inside the truck. I’m planning on purchasing a humidifier for the truck soon, but I started wondering today if too much dry air can also cause a person to get sick, or at least help contribute to it. I know that it makes my eyes feel discomfort and my lungs feel raspy, but can the dry air actually be a contributing factor to your health? Thanks in advance!
