CEBU, Philippines - It's true that sometimes, the best medicine is not having to need one at all! And there are tools that can help prevent the onset of health problems. Mothers with small babies, especially, are sure to find one such tool very useful.

A cool mist humidifier increases air moisture or humidity to ease the baby's chapped lips, dry skin and prevent viruses. The equipment also promotes easier breathing for the little one so he can have a good night's sleep. Apart from improving the child's sleep, humidifiers also relieves cough, cold, congestion, respiratory and other flu symptoms most especially if the child sleeps in an air-conditioned room.

There are many types of humidifiers and it all depends on what suits your and your family's needs. They come as plain and simple, and in many colorful shapes and designs to suit specifically to your child's room. Some types have features for either cool mist or warm mist.

The sizes vary, too. You can choose a tabletop type that's small, portable and can only humidify one room; or a console, a larger unit that can humidify usually a whole home since it can hold huge gallons of water all at once; or an in-duct humidifier, to be installed through the air ducts of the home. The bigger the water tank, the more water it contains and the longer it blows out mist.

One tip is to use distilled water as opposed to using regular tap water, in order to prevent constant cleaning and lime-scale. It is also advisable to look for the type with an auto shut-off sensor for safety purposes, one that doesn't require a filter for easy clean (yes, it can save you a lot of time and is easy to maintain) and one that has high energy-efficiency ratio in order to save on electricity cost.

Considering the health benefits clean air can bring, investing in a good humidifier is really worth the expense, especially in home with infants and young children.
