Why This Works: 3 Science-Backed Benefits
1. Boosts Nitric Oxide 15x (Natureβs Bronchodilator)
- Nitric Oxide (NO) relaxes airway muscles, improving oxygen flow
- Proven to reduce asthma symptoms (European Respiratory Journal)
- Enhances blood circulation to the lungs
2. Instantly Drains Sinuses
- The vibrations loosen thick mucus (more effective than saline sprays)
- Studies show humming clears sinuses 3x faster than normal breathing
3. Calms Asthma Inflammation via the Vagus Nerve
- Stimulates the βrest-and-digestβ nervous system
- Reduces inflammatory cytokines linked to asthma attacks
Bonus: The 10-Second Posture Fix for Easier Breathing
Problem: Slouching compresses lungs by 30%, worsening asthma symptoms.
Fix:
- Stand tall, roll shoulders back
- Clasp hands behind back, gently pull shoulders back for 10 seconds
- Take 3 deep breaths
Result: Immediate ribcage expansion, giving lungs more room to function.
