Medical specialists attest to the health benefits of proper humidity levels in the home:

"Increasing the humidity of your home helps eliminate the dry air that can irritate and inflame the respiratory passages in the nose and throat, and can relieve the discomforts of colds and the flu."
-A.D.A.M. Health Encyclopedia

"It is important to prevent an overly dry environment because it makes people more susceptible to infection."
-The American Society of Otolaryngology

"...humidity reduces the incidence of respiratory infections and speeds recovery from the common cold."
-William J Hitschler, MD (Archives of Otolaryngology)
