Air cleaners

I am wondering which device to get for my house as i have copd and feel i need something to help with the quality of air. I’m not sure whether to have a humidifier, a dehumidifier, or an ioniser or whatever else there might be.! Advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

I use a hepa air purifier it filters out 99.9% of pollutants, spores allergens etc I find it helps a lot especially in the summer months

A few drops of eucalyptus essential oils in your humidifier can also help to clear the air.Some people use salt lamps also.Its a lump of Himalayan rock salt with a light inside which heats up the salt, the theory is that it purifies the air, I can’t say myself if it works or not but many people say that it does.Hope this helps.

If nothing else sheepdog the salt lamps are very relaxing to look at and give Of a calming glow also.Good luck with it all.

I’m being a bit ‘paranoid’ here, but i have high blood pressure and anything to do with salt isnt good, but i guess a salt lamp isnt the same?

I love my salt lamp and am sure my sinus and breathing is better for it. Such a lovely light too

Hello Hidden .

I use a humidifier in winter as it's very dry in my area and a dehumidifier in summer when it's very damp and humid. My machine accommodates both, so I don't need two machines. It needs cleaning and filter changes but on the whole I find it helpful.

I hope this helps.
