Bhramari Pranayama (Bee Breath / Nose Song)

Bhramari Pranayama, also called “Bumblebee Breath” or “Nose Song” has been practiced for thousands of years as part of the ancient Hindu art of breath control. It involves deep, slow inhalations through the nose followed by loudly humming with the mouth closed on exhales. Research shows that this technique boosts the production of nitric oxide by up to 16x. Nitric oxide is a compound produced in the sinuses that acts as a vasodilator and has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties. The nitric oxide boost from this exercise can help increase circulation, decrease blood pressure, increase athletic performance, upgrade the immune system and clear the sinuses.
