How to Put Essential Oils in Crane Humidifiers

Having a humidifier in your house is a good idea if any household members suffer from nasal congestion, dry skin, dry nose or an itchy throat. Humidifiers put moisture back into the air. Crane makes many humidifiers and has a whole line devoted to children. Children are less afraid to use the humidifier in their room when the humidifier is in the shape of a frog or duck. Some essential oils are also great at clearing up nasal congestion and can be added to your Crane humidifier.
