A cool mist vaporizer is a small, electronic device that has a reservoir to hold water, a drum to spin the water, and a spout to spray the water droplets into the air. There is no heating element in a cool mist vaporizer, so the water is room temperature when it is dispersed. Those who suffer from asthma or respiratory infections find a cool mist vaporizer very helpful, as it adds moisture to the air and provides relief to breathing discomfort.
Cool mist vaporizers do not use a heat source, so they are safe to use in a child's room. Vaporizers provide relief from congestion associated with the common flu, colds, and other respiratory ailments. Although steam vaporizers also provide this relief, they get extremely hot and have a high risk of burning the user. Children may accidentally bump into the vaporizer or pull it over, and risk being seriously injured. Cool mist vaporizers offer a safe alternative to the steam vaporizer.
Cool mist vaporizers come in a variety of shapes and designs. To appeal to children, some manufacturers design them in the shapes of animals, vehicles, or cartoon characters. The cool mist vaporizer is relatively inexpensive and easy to operate, as it does not contain a heating element.
Some health care professionals recommend steam vaporizers over cool mist vaporizers, as they can harbor bacteria and disperse minerals that are naturally found in our water supply. To avoid bacteria growth, the cool mist vaporizer should be cleaned after each use with soap and water. All parts of the vaporizer need to be cleaned and dried thoroughly, including the reservoir, the drum, and the spout. Using distilled water in the vaporizer eliminates the risk of minerals being dispersed into the air. The drawbacks of a cool mist vaporizer can be easily avoided, and the user does not need to worry about burn injuries.
Cool mist vaporizers are designed to humidify only one room of your home and not the entire household. They are most commonly used in the bedroom, where breathing relief can be provided while you sleep. During the winter months, the air lacks moisture and can irritate those who suffer from sinusitis, allergies, and other problems caused by dry indoor air. A cool mist vaporizer is an effective way to naturally relieve these symptoms by adding moisture to the air.
Cool mist vaporizers can also be used to scent the air, in the same way that a steam vaporizer does. The benefits of aromatherapy can be enjoyed without the danger of burns. These vaporizers can be used to freshen the air or to ease congestion. During the hot summer months, a steam vaporizer will add humidity and heat to the air. Because the air is already warm and humid, you can use a cool mist vaporizer instead and still get the same benefits.
Cool mist vaporizers are readily available, and can be purchased over the internet, at major retailers, drug stores, baby stores, and in toy stores. Cool mist vaporizers are ideal if you suffer from allergies or if you simply want to freshen the air in your home with a new scent.
