@@AstrosSnipe It doesn't matter where you live. If you have 26% humidity, that is too low, period. Somewhere between 40-60% is the range you want... so if you're below 40%... you're going to use a humidifier. If you're over 60%, you're going to use a dehumidifier. And those can change based on the time of year.
Yeah, I live in a concrete apartment. Add heating and a freezing winter, basically the Sahara has more water. My skin is so dry, my knuckles are cracked. My son's lips are bleeding, they're so dry. I had 1, and getting 2 more humidifiers. I'm getting ones that have built-in antibacterial treatment.
26% ?! Definitely use a humidifier! We sleep best when our humidifier is set to 55% at night. If you have a heater or AC, this will further strip the air of humidity. The doctor in this video is talking about running a humidifier in an uncontrolled manner in a hole that has poor ventilation and insulation. If you live in mountains, desert, or have an airtight home, has issues with static shock or dry skin, you need a humidifier. It’s lifechanging.
Lol this is incorrect information. Indoor mold and dust mites will not be a problem at 40-45%. If you're lucky a humidifier in the winter in my area might get to that point. Whole house humidifiers will struggle to even get 40%. As an HVAC tech I have seen a house over humidified 1 time and it was due to faulty equipment. 40% is where a healthy home should be.
Yep, you should get it to 22% as i have 🫣 ps. just bought time proven Finnish made humifier called "ufox u3s". Its simple and lasts forever, no BS features. 👍
I come from a very humid weather down in South America where my allergies were not a problem, 85% humidity outdoors. Then, I make it to America where the humidity level indoor is 20% and my allergies spike to 110% every day. I’m getting a powerful humidifier.
I don't understand how many times I hear a doctor say what is recommended and then on a social media platform a "doctor" say "Don't do this!" I don't think they understand how much we suffer with our condition without humidifiers, nasal sprays, and medication. Cure my condition permanently and I'll stop using all of it, but something my insurance can cover.😅
I live in the north, winter time our house humidity gets into the low teens, so dry we all start getting nose bleeds. So ya I’m gonna risk it. Thanks doc
I think people get it. People aren't using a humidifier when they should be using a dehumidifier. Sometimes the humidity is too low, like during the winter, and you need to raise it. Having too low of humidity is just as bad, doc... and you should know that. Cracked mucosa leads to infections.
I have a terribly sensitive nose. My nose bleeds all over my bed while I'm sleeping if the room is to cold and dry. Plus people live healthily for years without any issues using humidifiers. I'd rather have a little allergies than my bed looking like a murder scene from nosebleeds in my sleep.
As my home sits currently at 26% indoor relative humidity, it's hilarious to hear a broad recommendation to avoid humidifiers and even use a dehumidifier without further qualification.
I agree, your sleep apnea is wayyy more important to treat then whatever she is saying. Listen to your doctor and not one that you don’t know on the internet
Humidifiers are a must in certain climates like Arizona. As long as you clean them and use the humidifier additive, they can be beneficial. In the wintertime in PA, the inside of my house gets as dry as 24% from heating. Sometimes I get out the hot steam vaporizer which is awesome since it boils the water.
Yes, if your humidity levels in your home are high, don’t use a humidifier and maybe use a dehumidifier if your home levels are above 50%. This however doesn’t apply to the average person specially during winter unless you live in a tropical climate. You’re right, it can create mold if your humidifier is making your already humid home more humid, simple solution is to have a $10 humidity meter. This video is not proving any valuable information and just creating miss information. Shame on you for giving the medical community a bad rep.
A pulmonologist once told me to get a humidity tester to help with indoor climate control. If the humidity was less than 40% use a humidifier, as less than that could irritate the lungs and sinuses. If it was 60% or more that’s too high (and probably time to use a de-humidifier) and mold can grow. He also said that the humidifier should be a cool mist, ultrasonic and only distilled water should be used.
I think she made a broad statement that does not apply to all climate regions . I live in a northern city in where we have 9 months of winter at -40 C , use forced heat furnaces inside our homes , business , hospitals , government buildings , etc , and our own health authorities recommend to never let our humidity drop below 40% or we face nasty consequences (chronic fissures in many mucous membranes , lung irritation , chronic nose bleeds , etc etc etc. She needs to qualify her statements better or I will not bother following her posts at all . I hate this type of black and white misinformation or partial information spreading . This post comes across as irresponsible on her part .
Ultrasonic humidifiers need to be washed often to prevent bacteria and it's also important to use distilled water with them so any impurities aren't released into the air, but with a steam or warm mist humidifier impurities are less of an issue because only steam is released, and the hot water kills germs too, so it doesn't need cleaning as often. I'm curious why he said it should be cool mist. Maybe cool mist over another type, but I'm not sure why.
Our home is so dry in the winter, i wake in the morning and my throat and the inside of my mouth is dry,and my lips are like two strips of tanned leather. Im getting two new humidifiers asap !!
Dr. Tina, One size doesn't fit all. The target should be to keep the humidity around 50%. Those with higher than 50% humidity in their area can use a dehumidifier; others with lower (drier) than 50% can use a humidifier to balance it to a healthy level.
My dogs not too happy when I walk across the room to pet her and instead shock the shit out of her. Remember, this is a doctor and they make their money off of sick ppl. I call BS
Lady. It depends on where we live. Indian summers are brutal and we def need a humidifier with cool mist. It's cheaper for ppl who can't afford an AC. As for wet climate, yes we need dehumidifier. These days air purifiers come with dehumidifier setting.
This is a really stupid video. Anytime humidity is below 35% you need to add humidity to get it upwards of 40 and above. Anything above 60 could use dehumidifying but isn't absolutely required. Extremely low humidity can be very unhealthy and damaging to humans. Always keep above 30% and stay healthy. This video is garbage without any good context
Nope, doesn’t work for me. My allergies got worst from a dehumidifier. My friend uses both purifier and humidifier simultaneously and every time I go to her house I feel like allergy free. I don’t know the science behind it but it works.
If your skin cracks from being too dry, then you become more at risk for viral infections. Think open wound. Same with what happens inside nose. Don’t let house get too dry like 20s %
My hygrometer consistently reads 16 percent (I'm guessing lower, but this is the lower limit of the unit). So, my house is actually too dry. This type of short is very misleading and clearly one-sided.
Mold? Mites? Increasing the humidity a bit to keep my respiratory system and skin in a decent state won't cause a flood. I won't drown in a cloud of water. I mean, like a 45% it's the sweet spot.
okay but how does doctor who specialises in allergies also specialise in humidifiers, just use cool mist humidifier instead of warm mist, clean it regularly and don't place it next to the walls.... there is no need to stop using them
I live in a City of 1.5 million people who endure 8-9 months of winter at -40C . All humidity in the air is frozen , yes even inside your home it can happen , you speak close to a window and that humidity gets frozen stuck to the glass . We also use heated forced air as main source of heat inside our houses . So por own health authorities recommend that to never allow less than 40% air humidity or else , face negative health consequences (talk about constant nose e bleeds and cracked mucous membranes …for 9 months ? Yeah right ) We are also recommended cool most humidifiers with HEPA filters , ultrasonic .
No way that I will stop using a humidifier because it helps my eyes from hurting because I have really dry eyes and mine is actually also an essential oil diffuser.
However I'm a medical cannabis grower and I need higher humidity. Is the only drug that I've used for my Crohn's disease for years now It also helped me come off of about 26 out of 29 prescriptions they had me on in 2014. I feel a thousand times better off of those drugs today than I did back then when I was almost flaring up constantly.
I would rather not make my house any less dry. I already get bloody noses, dry hands, always having to blow my nose. Yeah, no, there is no way I am using a dehumidifier. I’ll stick to my humidifier.
This makes no sense. At least for me. I have forced air heat, and my daughter and I get nosebleeds in the winter. As a matter of fact, yesterday she got such a bad nosebleed, the entire tissue was covered in blood. It looked like someone broke her nose. The air is too dry. I use a good filter on my gas furnace for the allergens, so I can have a nice balance. But the air is just too dry, and I need at least a bit more humidity.
I use one in the winter to keep the humidity at 40%. I never let the moisture to rise above 40%. I live in the Midwest and have to use a dehumidifier during the summer.
ok, with those people that have allergies that might be worsen with high humidity, fine. But Doctor please, it doesn't apply to everyone. Far from it. A properly humidified home (within 40% to 60%), provides relief for millions of people with dry itchy skin during winter months. Please.....
Sure if your home is already humid then you shouldn’t use one, but many homes are very dry. In fact, my home can be so dry that there is massive amounts of static electricity build up and my family shocks each other all of the time. It’s unwanted. A humidifier can help with that, as well as dry skin. Just don’t allow your humidity level to get above 50%, and it should not be lower than 30%, but aim for 40% just to be safe. And remember, not everyone claiming to be a doctor is going to have good advice 100% of the time. Just use your common sense to gauge what’s necessary for you.
I live at over 7000ft in an already dry climate. In the winter the first thing I do every morning is blow the crusted blood from my nose. Every single square inch of my body is dry, scale, and itchy. My hands and lips are always dry and cracked. I loose 3lbs every night just from water loss. I do not need a dehumidifier 😂
As a doctor, you should know that using an EVPORATIVE humidifier is the only one you should use!! The Venta Evaporative Humidifier is the best one in the world, hands down, and does not give off any water vapor! The filter is washable, so you never have to buy them, or worry about them growing mold like the wick filters. Yes Ventas are very expensive, but they are German made and will ladt you at least 20 years if you take care of it. Having hard water of course makes it worse, but filtering it 1st does help.
@@dgpsf a humidifier that doesn't give off visible water vapor is typically called an evaporative humidifier; it works by using a fan to draw air through a wet wick, causing the moisture to gradually evaporate into the air without producing a noticeable mist.
humidifier helps to cure my son's cough using sea water.. it really helps a lot rather that making him take dangerous meds. sea salt in humidifier is a total bad@$$ for cough and fight phlegm.
This is surprisingly poor advice to say it in such an absolute way. It depends. At 5500 feet in Northern AZ, my home would be in the high teens and low 20’s % humidity. Humidifiers are a must here.
Unless you live in New England where the humidity drops down into the teens in Winter. For example: right now the RH in the air is 11%, not good for people with dry skin and or Psoriasis like myself.
my digital clock that reads temperature and humidity, no longer shows a percentage on humidity this coming winter. It just says LL which means HELLA LOW. Get a humidifier. But clean and sanitize it as regularly as often as possible, with natural cleaning solutions like soap and white vinegar.
@@drtaniaelliott Exactly my point. So why are you telling people to stop using humidifiers? They are very much needed in regions where the air becomes seasonally dry! Or regions where the air is constantly dry.
My house is currently 26% humidity…. My skin is dry, my sinuses are messed up, I think I’ll use a humidifier

I live in a desert so humidity levels are low and I am always getting bloody noses and dry skin bc of it. So, I’ll keep the humidifier.
But it's 18% in my house. Forever sore throat, sinus infections, and colds.
I don’t think she understands the difference between both. Can’t even suggest a proper solution to the problem.
My humidity in bedroom is 18-19%. Im buying a humidifier. Lol
We just can't win can we. You do right you end up doing wrong 😮😮😮😮😮
Exactly 💯
🙈
Yeah well i live in a desert and literally breathe dry hot air which brings agony to my throat, nose, eyes. I'll stick to humidifiers, thanks!
I disagree doctor. If you live in cooler climate that has the heat running for months on end your house will be very very dry.
my digital clock that reads temperature and humidity, no longer shows a percentage on humidity this coming winter. It just says LL which means HELLA LOW.
Get a humidifier. But clean and sanitize it as regularly as often as possible, with natural cleaning solutions like soap and white vinegar.
Humidifier is for places it seasons when humidity is very less. Like winter season in Asia
Yeah, not great advice, unless your humidifier creates humidity greater than 60%. Really dry air is not good for your sinuses.
WOW...this advice went over well! 😂
Somebody should tell her that humidity levels vary according to region. What the hell is someone going to do with a dehumidifier in Nordic winter?
first step is actually to get a humidity gauge. If humitiy levels are less than 50%, dust mite and mold cannot thrive so a dehumifider is not needed.
@@drtaniaelliott Exactly my point. So why are you telling people to stop using humidifiers? They are very much needed in regions where the air becomes seasonally dry! Or regions where the air is constantly dry.
