Adding Moisture to your Home During Winter

With the doors closed and heaters blasting, our homes, plants and bodies are stressed with all the dryness. This causes more illness than we realize, since moisture in the sinuses is important for our health and dryness in the nasal passages contributes to more infections.

I like to add pretty bowls of water around the house to add some moisture and have been placing pretty items (rocks, shells, marbles, even small decorations in them) just to make some pretty natural water scapes out of them. If you have any old fish tank items, include them if you'd like. I had some water based plants (they sell them in the pet store for fish tanks) that also make a lovely water scape.

Great for living rooms, kids room or even an elderly persons room since it adds a little natural feel and the only maintenance is replenishing the water when it evaporates. It really makes a difference in my sinuses to have them in the winter!
