The effects of humming on the human body, simplified, include:
Boosted Nasal Health: Humming causes a major increase (15 times more) in nasal nitric oxide, which is a molecule important for overall health.1
Calming the Body: The vibrations from humming help activate the vagal nerve. This nerve is often called the body's "rest and digest" switch, which promotes relaxation.1
Improved Circulation and Balance: The resonance impacts blood flow in your lungs and helps regulate your autonomic nervous system, which controls automatic body functions like your heart rate and breathing.1
Brain Cleansing: Humming influences the fluid around your brain (cerebrospinal fluid), helping with brain "cleanup" and managing pressure inside your skull.1
Better Breathing: The act of humming provides a "breathing ratio advantage" that improves how your body generally functions.1
