Choosing and using the correct fumigator to reduce allergies and asthma

People with respiratory allergies and asthma should always be careful about the humidity level of their breathing air.
If the breathing air is too dry, allergy symptoms increase, and if the air has high humidity, allergens may increase in the environment.
Even though respiratory allergies and asthma are diseases that should be treated under the supervision of a specialist doctor, the symptoms of these diseases can be controlled and cured with different methods such as using fumigants.
Therefore, it is very important to choose and know the correct way to use incense for families whose members suffer from allergic respiratory diseases.
But in general, all kinds of humidifiers with the moisture they create in the breathing air are useful in relieving respiratory tract infections, in relieving and reducing nasal congestion and congestion, and in reducing the severity of dry coughs.

Effects of dry air on respiratory and skin allergic diseases

Dry air irritates the upper respiratory tract (nasal and throat passages) and may cause sinus infections.
Also, dry air can increase mucus production, which is dangerous for asthma patients.
In addition, dry air causes the skin to dry out and subsequently skin becomes sensitive and the appearance or exacerbation of skin allergy symptoms such as eczema in people.

The mechanism of action of fumigation devices and its effect on the relative recovery of respiratory allergic disease

In general, asthma is a type of respiratory disease that causes disturbances in the inhalation and exhalation process of the affected person.
The airways and lungs of these people react to environmental factors and allergens, and the patient’s breathing may be severely disturbed due to asthma attacks.
If used correctly, the symptoms and attacks of asthma can be reduced.
This is done by keeping the nasal passage, throat and lower respiratory tract moist and facilitating breathing in the person.
Humidifiers keep the air moist, and this moisture makes it easier for air to pass through and open the airways.

Choosing the right model of fumigators

Different models of incense burners are available in the market.
Therefore, choosing the right model of this type of device, including the method of creating steam, the temperature of the output steam, the model and shape of the steam exit from the device, can be important in the optimal and practical use of the fumigator.

Hot fumigator

Various models of hot vaporizers are among the most common vaporizers in the market.
These types of vaporizers heat water up to boiling temperature and direct the resulting steam out of the device.
These types of devices are very useful for people with asthma who prefer warm and humid air.

Benefits of a hot fumigation machine

  • Due to the fact that hot water is flowing in the tank and other parts of the device, the possibility of the growth and proliferation of bacteria, fungi and molds in these devices is very small.
  • Using these hot fumigating devices in the cold seasons of the year can keep the house warm.

Disadvantages of hot fumigation machine

  • Due to the fact that with the help of electric elements, the water reaches a temperature close to boiling, so the energy consumption in these types of devices is high.
  • As a result of contact with the tank and other parts of this type of fumigation devices, there is a possibility of burns, and they should be kept out of the reach of children.

Cold fumigation machine

This model of vaporizers without heating the water and using other methods such as ultrasound frequencies turn the water droplets into steam and direct them out of the device.
Regardless of the method used in these devices, the exhaust steam is cool and therefore can keep the indoor air cool.  

Advantages of cold fumigation machine

  • Due to the fact that in these devices, the element is not used to steam water, so the consumption of electricity is less.
  • In this type of devices, considering that the system is cool, there is no risk of injury due to burns.
  • These types of fumigating devices cool the home during the hot seasons and can have a pleasant feeling for people with allergies or asthma.
  • The use of cold fumigation prevents the atmosphere of the house from blowing (that is, creating hot and humid air).
  • Using this type of fumigation during hot and dry seasons can make the skin soft and refreshing in addition to keeping the respiratory tract moist.

Disadvantages of cold fumigation machine

  • Due to the fact that the system contains cold and lukewarm water, the possibility of the growth and proliferation of microbial agents such as fungal and bacterial agents increases.
     
  • In cold misting devices, the dissolved substances in the water come out of the device with steam and enter the breathing air.

Important recommendations in the use of fumigation devices

1- Choose the incense burners according to the space of the room or house. Normally, cold humidifiers are more efficient for larger spaces.
2- Wash the tank of fumigating devices regularly and clean it from sediments and salts. In cold fumigation devices, due to the possibility of growth and proliferation of microbial agents, this point should be carefully considered.
3- Due to the increase in air humidity due to the use of fumigating devices, it is necessary to prevent the excessive increase of humidity (more than 50%) in the house by using a hygrometer. An increase in humidity can be accompanied by an increase in the growth and proliferation of house dust mites or fungi and molds inside the house. These factors are among the most important allergens (allergens) inside the house and they can aggravate the symptoms of respiratory allergies and asthma.
4- With the consultation of the treating physician, herbal disinfectants and fragrances and herbal medicines such as eucalyptus can be used in the special place of the fumigating devices.
5- It is better to use distilled water for fumigators, especially cold fumigators. Of course, in the new models of these types of devices, water purification filters are used to remove salts.
