Summer becomes more intolerable because we begin to perspire a great deal and perspiration is caused due to the humidity present in the air. Humidity is the amount of moisture present in the air. If the air around us has more moisture than it can possibly absorb, then the weather becomes more unbearable. But on the other hand a certain amount of moisture should be present in the air if the air should not become cackling dry and uncomfortable as it does in winter.
Excessive humidity can cause problems because the moisture causes fungus and mould and mildew to form and this in turn causes allergic health problems. Wood furniture, doors and windows can be damaged due to excessive humidity. In the same way excessive dryness can cause chaffing and aridity and breathing problems. The level of moisture present in the air can be measured with the help of a hygrometer. The requisite level of moisture content to make the air around us soothing has been gauged to be about forty or fifty percent. The problem can thus be addressed by controlling the moisture level or humidity of the room by the use of a dehumidifier.
While air conditioners also help to cool the air and keep us comfortable, dehumidifiers provide the additional benefit of controlling humidity in the air. Dehumidifiers can be fitted anywhere where there is excessive moisture due to steaming washing and bathing. Depending both on the weather conditions and the room conditions one can choose the right kind of dehumidifier. A large room will require a dehumidifier with a capacity to extract more moisture from the air. This can be anywhere between twenty to forty litres a day. A smaller room requires a lesser water extraction capacity.
Since this is a mechanical device, a certain amount of noise may be expected while it is working. One must however, check beforehand and choose a device that makes less noise. The water that is extracted from the air in the room gets collected into a tank, big or small depending on the capacity of the dehumidifier. It is very important to periodically empty this tank. The unit may not work until the water is emptied. In order to sift the dust that collects, there a special filter provided and this makes the air pure. This will also ensure longer life for the coils. However these filters need to be cleaned periodically. In winter, frost collects and brings the working of the device to a halt. In order to avert this problem the hot gas defrost feature can be added.

While in Europe recently, I found that I didn't need to use nasal irrigation to prevent nasal congestion. I did bring along a travel WaterPik device which I often use for this purpose when away from home, but I didn't feel the need to use it even once for the entire month we were gone. I attribute this to the higher humidity levels in Europe compared to those in Colorado where we live.
I normally use nasal irrigation with a saline solution once or twice per day. It would be unthinkable to go for a month in Colorado without doing this. I would almost certainly come down with a sinus infection during this length of time, even while continuing to take my normal medication.
According to Dr. Robert Ivker, D.O., former President of the American Holistic Medical Association, the ideal level of relative humidity for sinus health is between 35-45%. I noticed in one of the hotels we stayed at in France that the humidity was in the low 70% range, and I'm sure it was at least that high at other times as well during the month. For whatever reason, this level of humidity seems to work better for my particular nasal congestion problems, and I have noticed before the general tendency of having fewer sinus problems while in Europe. We travel there fairly often as we operate tours in France. Dr. Ivker prefers to use a warm mist room humidifier which requires no filters and kills bacteria. He claims to have had good luck with Bionaire Clear Mist units.
Upon returning from this latest trip I decided to purchase an inexpensive humidity gauge and put it in our bedroom to deep a closer eye on the actual levels in our sleeping environment. Right now the levels are in the 50% range, which is pretty good. We live at over 7,000 feet of elevation, and we have several windows open at night at this time of year to cool off the room. During most of the year we do use a humidifier, especially in the winter months. When the furnace is on the humidity drops quite a bit, and I will now be able to monitor the levels and make better use of a humidifier with the humidity gauge. Air conditioning will also dry out the air in a room or in an automobile, so keeping close watch of this is important for people like me who continually battle nasal congestion problems.
The device I purchased was an inexpensive combination thermometer and humidity gauge. It was only about , but one can find digital devices with more functionality in the -40 range in stores like Kmart or Walmart. I would strongly recommend that people who suffer from chronic sinusitis make this small investment and keep a device to measure relative humidity in their sleep and also possibly their work environments. This simple item can be a significant tool in the regimen of all sinus sufferers to help prevent nasal congestion, especially while sleeping.
