5. Hydrate the Skin, Clear the Sinus, and Soothe a Sore Throat
Sjögren’s Syndrome dries out your eyes, your skin, and your mouth. Combat this intense feeling of dehydration with a home humidifier solution. A humidifier works by releasing water vapor into the air to increase the relative humidity of the room.
This device is especially useful for people that live at high altitudes or arid, dry environments and suffer from the dehydrating effect of Sjögren’s Syndrome. Running the humidifier in your bedroom overnight improves the therapeutic value and quality of your sleep.
Add some extra medicinal punch to your humidifier by adding a few drops of essential oils to the water. Tea tree oil and lavender oil have refreshing and restorative effects on the body, add a few drops of each to the water to keep your skin hydrated, your sinus clear, and your upper-respiratory-tract free from infection. Experiment with different combinations and create your custom therapeutic cocktail of essential oils for your humidifier.
