How can i make the air in my room more humid?

Question

Im in west texas where its really dry, and im really from north texas so im not used to this. My nose is really dry and burning and stinging so i was wondering how to make the air in my room more humid WITHOUT a humidifier.

Answer 1

If you have a stovetop in your place (I don't know if this is a dorm or bedroom or house, etc) then put a pot of water on to a low boil. You can even add dried herbs to this to make the water scented.

If you don't have a stove top, try the same concept with a hot-pot or hot-pad (where you keep plates warm).

Answer 2

If you don't use a humidifier, either use a steamer or an electric kettle, or for more passive humidifying, put one or more soup bowls or similar containers of water in the room. This should help a little, but a humidifier would do the job better.

The other thing is why not try to do direct moistening of the noise, using something like Viks mentholated cream to moisturize the tissue in your nose from time to time. Might help. But be careful to follow the instructions and not to overdo it.

Perhaps you might use both techniques. That's what we used to do in similar dry winter conditions in Canada when I was a kid, back in the 1940s, before humidifiers were atached to furnaces, which is what I have now (I need it for respiratory health).

Answer 3

If you put fresh water out in a bowl or something daily, it will evaporate and put moisture in the air. How much it evaporates is due to the conditions of the room, temp, ect.

Answer 4

Set a plastic tub of water in your room or set a pot of water on you radiator.

Answer 5

maybe some plants in your room would help, the ones that need a lot of watering.

Answer 6

Ummm....Don't think there is.
