[Daily Life] Know-how to reduce the discomfort index of humidity.
Not just for air conditioners, but also dehumidification tips

The rainy season has begun, and the weather has become increasingly humid. The laundry won't dry and my hairstyle won't stay the way it should... When humid days continue, the discomfort index rises and the air tends to feel annoying. This time, I would like to introduce some tips to help you blow away that moisture. First, the classic! A review of the air conditioner's "dehumidification" mode To adjust the humidity in your room, turn on your air conditioner's "dehumidify" or "dry" mode. It's now common sense. As soon as you turn on the dehumidifier, you will feel the dampness disappear and the air become cooler and crisper. Have you ever wondered if this function could be called "cooling" instead of "dehumidifying"? It's true that even when you use air conditioning, it feels like the humidity has decreased, and some people may have heard that dehumidification actually costs more in electricity. The difference between "air conditioning" and "dehumidification" is their purpose. As the names suggest, "air conditioning" lowers the temperature, while "dehumidification" reduces humidity. However, humidity is correlated with temperature, so as the temperature drops, humidity also drops, and conversely, to lower humidity, it is necessary to lower the temperature. Since the temperature is kept higher with "dehumidification," some women who are sensitive to the cold may find "dehumidification" more comfortable. Which is more cost-effective in terms of electricity bills: air conditioning or dehumidification? There is a rumor that dehumidification costs more in electricity than air conditioning, but is this really true? In fact, that cannot be said in general. First of all, there are two types of "dehumidification" functions on air conditioners: "weak cooling dehumidification," which lowers the temperature and humidity, and "reheat dehumidification," which does not lower the temperature by reheating the air that has been lowered in temperature and humidity before returning it to the room. The former "weak cooling and dehumidification" is in some ways no different from air conditioning, so your electricity bill may be roughly the same as or even lower than air conditioning. On the other hand, the latter "reheat dehumidification" is more expensive than air conditioning. If you are concerned about your electricity bill, check whether the air conditioner in your home has a dehumidifying function. Speaking of dehumidification techniques other than air conditioning... What other dehumidification methods are there besides the standard air conditioner dehumidification? First, let's start with aromatherapy, a staple of natural care. A refreshing scent that will refresh your humid mood The recommended aromas to use when you feel uncomfortable with high humidity are: Tea tree ·peppermint ·eucalyptus Citrus fruits such as lemon All of these essential oils are well known for their refreshing scent. Tea tree has antibacterial and antifungal properties, and also boosts the immune system, making it a reliable ally during this time of year when people are more likely to get sick. Additionally, the ingredient "menthol" in peppermint stimulates the nerves, causing a cooling effect that makes you feel "cold." It is also said to significantly lower your perceived body temperature. All of these scents are sure to refresh the humid air, so if you're looking for a scent to help you this time of year, be sure to choose a refreshing scent. Don't underestimate ventilation One simple and effective way to reduce humidity is through ventilation. It is very important to circulate the air in your home, even if it is just once a day, every day if possible. Even if it's raining outside, the humidity is usually higher indoors. Simply replacing stagnant air can reduce the humidity in your room, even on rainy days. The trick to ventilation is to open two windows. This may be difficult depending on the layout of your home, but try to open two windows diagonally opposite each other to allow air to circulate. Another trick to keep the air moving efficiently is to turn on a fan facing out one of the windows. Use small items in tight spaces It can also be effective to place a small dehumidifying item in small spaces that tend to fill with humid air, such as toilets and closets. in particular・Dehumidifier (available at drugstores) ·newspaper ·baking soda ·charcoal etc. All you have to do is place them, so please give them a try. There are many good things about rainy days The rainy season can make you think negatively, but of course there are also many good things about it. "Rainy days are somehow relaxing" "I can concentrate better on my work when it's raining" Have you ever had such an experience? The irregular rhythm of the sound of rain has a "1/f fluctuation" that has a soothing effect that calms and relaxes the mind. One trick to significantly lowering the discomfort index on rainy days is to find something fun to do on rainy days. Try listening to healing music with the sound of rain as your base background music for an even more relaxing effect.
