For many asthma sufferers, a dehumidifier can improve air quality and reduce symptoms. Humidity plays a major role in respiratory comfort.
How humidity affects asthma
- High humidity encourages mould and dust mites, both common asthma triggers.
- Moist air is harder to breathe and feels heavier.
- Low humidity can irritate the airways.
Benefits of using a dehumidifier
- Keeps humidity in the optimal forty to sixty percent range.
- Reduces allergens in bedrooms and living areas.
- Helps bedrooms feel fresher and easier to breathe in.
Important note
A dehumidifier does not treat asthma directly, but it creates a healthier indoor environment which can reduce triggers. Always follow medical advice alongside environmental changes.
