Running a humidifier can alleviate seasonal allergies and keep your nasal passages moist and comfortable (which is particularly important for those who like to blast the air conditioner all day and night).

How does a humidifier work?

Humidifiers add moisture to the air to prevent dryness, leading to irritated skin, scratchy throats, and uncomfortable sinus issues. Some people may use a humidifier to relieve cold and flu symptoms, eczema, sinusitis, and seasonal allergies.

That said, overusing a humidifier or using an improperly cleaned humidifier can cause bacteria and mold growth, so it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and maintenance.
