If you have allergies or asthma your doctor or friends may have suggested you consider getting a HEPA air purifier (HEPA air filter). Perhaps you have friends and family with allergies that just love their HEPAs and now you are wondering how one can help you. Or your doctor has suggested one and you are questioning if it will really make a difference. Well hundreds of thousands of allergy and asthma sufferers each year turn to HEPA air filters to help them. This can be an ideal solution for many. Let’s talk about a couple of ways to tell if a HEPA air filter is for you:
Even on allergy and asthma medication I still suffer from my allergies/asthma. This is an important thing to notice. If your doctor has put you on medication and you still suffer, adding a HEPA air filter can be an excellent next step. Sometimes the quality of air you are breathing can be the issue. Now you CAN improve the quality of the air you breathe simply by vacuuming and dusting regularly (like 1 to 2x a week) but this is often because with today’s vacuums they already have a HEPA filter and you are cleaning that dust and then breathing very clean air. Adding a HEPA air filter on top of this cleaning routine will clean the air your breathe overall.
I have pets in my home and suffer from allergies. This is another thing to consider. Often our pets do things outdoors like roll in fall leaves, sleep on a bed of flowers or run through a pile of branches – all great sources of sneeze and itchy creating pollen! We know we can’t control what our pets do. But adding a HEPA air filter can often help to purify the air as they come into the house bearing pollen as they do. Brushing out your pets’ fur when they come home can also be very helpful.
I have year-round allergies. This is something you can’t ignore. If your allergies aren’t just seasonal you’ve got to combat them all the time. A HEPA filter can work wonders for the year-round allergy sufferer. Likely you suffer from a combination of both indoor and outdoor allergies, making your vulnerable to allergies wherever you go. With a HEPA filter you are especially purifying your home which will help you breathe clean air at home. This helps your lungs feel clean and strong. It will aid you as you go out into the world and run into allergy sources as you go.
More than one family member suffers from allergies. Now if it isn’t just you who has allergies, a HEPA air filter is a top solution to consider. It wont be just you who benefits but also a parent, child or spouse who feels better as you add the HEPA air filter to your lives. If both of you are allergic to the same things this can sometimes be a sign that you are suffering from poor air quality at home. This isn’t necessarily the sign of poor house cleaning – a lack of vacuuming – sometimes your house is vulnerable to mold or other challenges that you simply can’t control. With the HEPA air filter you keep these allergy sources at bay and everyone can breathe easier.
There are many reasons to choose a HEPA air filter. Quite often after you’ve had it for a week or so you notice that you aren’t as stuffy, your breathing is fuller. Or sometimes you notice that you don’t have the same sleeping complaints. You are sleeping completely through the night or with very deep and sound sleep. That’s the magic of a HEPA filter!
To your good health!
