It can increase congestion in your sinuses and nasal passages. The solution is to get a humidifier – especially in the bedroom while you sleep. Dr. Neeta Ogdenis anallergist and immunologist – and she says that’ll keep your respiratory tract lubricated. However, other indoor allergens, like mold, can grow like crazy in a moist environment. So you want a happy medium between too dry – and too humid. So set your humidifier below 50%.

That’s because changes in temperature and barometric pressure are big triggers. They have an effect on nerves and blood vessels. Plus, the dry air this time of year can make you more prone to sinus issues that can also trigger headaches. The best thing you can do is to stay hydrated – and to keep a humidifier in your bedroom. That’ll help your sinuses. And if you know a storm is coming, pop some ibuprofen ahead of time.

One of the reasons we get more viruses in fall and winter is because the air is drier. A lack of humidity allows viruses to thrive and makes it harder for our nasal passages to trap and eliminate them. So keep a humidifier going at home. But make sure to keep it clean. Put about 5 drops of oregano, eucalyptus or peppermint oil in the water reservoir. The oil will reduce germs and make the air smell nice. However, you’ll still need to clean the reservoir weekly.
