Intrigued by the research of some Swedish researchers, we instituted
a limited evaluation of the effects of humming on persons suffering from
chronic sinusitis. Somewhat to our suprise, a quite measurable
improvement effected among a majority of the participating volunteers.
Several different modes were applied....all with beneficial effect.
Just simple humming of a favorite tune for 5 or so minutes twice a
day, proved beneficial. However, the most benefit came among those who
utilized a conventional "deep breathing" technique; one including an
in-breath accompanied by
diaphragm/stomach expansion.....followed immediately by the humming
generation. Depending upon ones lung capacity, the hum will last about
5 to 10 seconds as the spent air is exhausted to completion of the
exhalation. Best results were obtained through insuring that the tongue
does not rest against the teeth...or the mouth sides/roof.....during
exhalation. Equally effective results came for persons breathing in via
mouth, nose, or combination (especially useful for persons with nose
passage stoppages). However, somewhat better effects emanated from
keeping the mouth completely closed during the induced-humming
period....while just allowing the natural exhausting to occur via the
nasal ducts. One advantage of this method over just simple melodic
humming.....lay in the ability to greatly increase the strength (volume)
of the humming. The increased power of this method becomes self-evident
to the practitioner through the increased vibration component felt in
the nasal bone structure.
We found that just 10 deep breathing cycles, executed twice
daily.....proved quite beneficial for a variety of moderate sinus
afflictions and most especially for long-term, chronic, sufferers of
"stuffy nose" type presentations.
I was so impressed that I tried it myself, and found it to be an
excellent protocol for relieving my own, long-standing, sinus challenge.
It has proven to be most especially useful just before going off to
sleep and just before arising from bed in the morning. One, additional,
unexpected benefit proved to be the almost universal "loosening" of
phlegm blockages.....occurring immediately after....or sometimes during,
the protocol.
In any event, it is a harmless
personal support endeavor....which costs nothing and offers the promise
of additional relief from a rather uncomfortable condition.
Sincerely, Brooks
Bradley.
p.s. Additionally, this procedure proved quite effective in relieving
some conditions of pressure accomodation imbalances of the ear.
