Lately, we’ve been seeing a lot of mommies getting humidifiers for their homes. But what’s all the fuss about? Why would you want to get a humidifier anyway?
As its name suggests, humidifiers provide moisture in the air. We know, you’re probably wondering why you would want to have moisture in the air.
Well, you do so for several reasons as explained in this article. For one, it helps alleviate allergies. It can also benefit those with dry skin, irritated eyes, and frequent coughs.
It may even reduce snoring as it aids in lubricating one’s airways. Now, if you have a baby, it can be a good thing to have when your little one gets a cold or respiratory illness.

What to look for in a humidifier?
Before we give you the list of the best humidifier brands in the Philippines, let’s talk about a good humidifier’s attributes.
- size – Is it portable or a console? Portable is for personal use while the latter can be used in the entire house.
- ease of use and maintenance – A humidifier is a good thing to have, but when not cleaned properly, it can bring more harm than good. Buy one that’s easy to use and clean so your unit won’t be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria, which can make your cough and colds worse.
