Mast Humidifier - a beautiful and energy-saving alternative

This time of year can be incredibly dry for those people living in interior regions of the country. Without the warm, moist air of the ocean to humidify the air, it can get really dry, indoors and outdoors. And it’s not just those in winter regions, either. Desert areas like Nevada are also prone to these incredibly dry conditions.

And with really dry air comes all kinds of other problems not least of which is itchy, dry, irritated skin. Who wants that? To fix it, the best solution for most people is to plug in a power-hungry humidifier that adds a relatively big load to our electric bills.

So to save energy, why not try a non-electric humidifying solution? This beautiful Mast Humidifer is a great alternative to conventional plug-in humidifiers. It’s designed with a carved Japanese Cypress base that’s pretty to look at. It’s then fitted with thin pieces of wood that are creatively folded over upon themselves in loops.

This is even better than just putting a bucket of water out to evaporate and moisturize the air. Because of the larger surface area, the humidifier evaporates water about six times as fast as a glass of water would. And because of the type of wood, it emits a lovely, lemon scent. And it does all of this without the use of electricity. It’s a great energy saving option for us dry-skinned power savers. It’s available for purchase (in Japanese) at Masuza.
