I have absolutely healed my allergies through this exercise. Btw, it doesn’t matter if you hum at 130hz or not, and as you have pointed out in your other videos; you get all the benefits of elevated Nitric Oxide in the first four breaths. After that, there is no benefit. The key is to then wait three minutes and then do four more. So, it’s not about humming for an hour, it’s about doing this technique many times throughout the day.

My Dad was humming all the time and he lived to age 92! He also talked all the thoughts that traveled through his mind. He drove me crazy because he almost never stopped talking. What I didn’t realize till I became his caregiver when he broke his hip when he was 89, was that he was talking to himself and didn’t need any answers to what he was talking about! He was always very cheerful and engaged in conversation with everyone he met. He passed four years ago and I miss him very much. He also kept his childlike curiosity about how mechanical things worked. I’m sure that’s why he lived so long.

The Yogis are well aware of the benefits of chanting (humming) OM, of which there are many beyond just the elevation of NO levels in the sinuses. Pranayama (the Science of Enhancing the Life Force utilizing regulated breathing techniques) has specific exercises such as Kapalabhati aka the Skull Shining Breath or Breath of Fire which detoxify and restore optimal function to all of the sinuses. I guarantee that the yogis who are established in the practice know full well the whys and wherefores of what they do, and could tell you about benefits that you have not even considered. Western medicine has a long long way to go to even begin catching up to where Yoga (real yoga...Classic Ashtanga Yoga) has been for thousands of years. That being said this is very useful information that more people need to be made aware of as it could well be lifesaving for so many suffering with chronic nasal conditions and heart conditions. Education and awareness is key in resolving these widespread issues. Thank you for this, and please tell us more.

I healed serious asthma, allergies and chronic sinus congestion by breathing through the nose and humming, before I listened to this doctor. It works! Yet my allergy/asthma doctor laughed at it. Most doctors are very ignorant of anything other than drugs. Humming also activates the vagus nerve, which can keep us parasympathetic.

I couldn't get enough sports then. 40 years later it returned and they found out my lung capacity was only 60 percent. So, I'm thinking that if I could lose it before then I should be able to lose it again. It's frustrating. The only other possible reason I may have got it is that in both places there was a pulp mill. Anyway, thank you so much.

Hi! Hoping to get a reply and maybe a professional opinion (if you're allowed)... I suspect to have had covid back in March/April. Could not get a test after 2 ER visits and 1 clinic. Long story short: My body is still messed up 9 months later with mainly night time breathing issues, my body will not let me fall asleep until after sunrise, and I have a variety of concerning lingering symptoms. Many of the horrible sensations I have experienced have gone away but there's plenty to deal with still. But mainly my respitory: my nose and sinuses have been inflamed and swollen feeling for months and I CANNOT handle ANY humidity (in Florida), My throat gets mildly swollen at times but there was a 2 weeks period months ago where I COULD NOT swallow AT ALL, and I get heavy, pulling, swole sensation in my chest and right under my chest with very scary sensations at night as if air is going thru mu chest, as if gas is escaping from my stomach into my chest. I rarely feel this in the day time once I get moving. Its usually when in bed at 3am I just got insurance so I will be going to see a PCP in a week. However for supplementation, I have just begun sublingual minerals as well as a NO heart health supplement sold by Herbalife. a Powder formulated by the Nobel Prize Laureate himself who discovered nitric oxide. I sincerely hope the NO raw materials (NightWorks) helps to improve my condition. I am 35 and JUST want to regain my full health. I basically have been left in a position where I can't do anything. I can grocery shop once a week. But I am definitely not well enough to WORK. Ido my best to be hopeful as I've come a long way on my own at home... but like I said, the issues that remain are so scary. I have taken up day trading at home to try and take care of my financial needs. If I can become well again and resolve my intermittent breathing issues, that will be SO great. Feeling from some reading I've done like I may have either structural damage or scarring that could be causing these random sudden breath sensations.... Maybe No will work to heal whatever is going on with me by increased oxygen delivery. I dont understand how during the day I can have vitrually no probems and at night I struggle. Chest feels strong in the day, I cook dinner standing up, I eat, I check the mail, take small walks... The the wee hours of the AM... BOOM... sensations that make me seriously wonder if I'm about to go. Nothing ever happens... but its mental torture.

Years ago, after hearing that cats purr to soothe and heal, not just because they are content, I tried it. I had extreme nausea one night, so I breathed in deep through my nose and hummed/vibrated when breathing out and felt great in no time. I was quite surprised. As far as other alternative remedies, my coworker once told me a doctor said he had improved his poor vision with eye exercises, by rolling his eyes around the outside of his socket. I guess the eye is a muscle and if you find a way to train/strengthen it to gain control of it, theoretically I guess it could work.

Chanting of AUM / OM (as Van mentions in the video) 2. A pranayam called Bhrambri, which is basically humming with your eyes and ear closed. 3. A meditation practice popularised by Sri Sri Ravishankar called “So-Hum” One must not assume that high intensity/weight training workouts are critical for good health. Infact easy & holistic 20-25 min mixed low-intensity workout practices such as Yoga/Aasan/Pranayam/Meditation/TaiChi etc done everyday will keep you healthier and longer life.

I've heard other stories about people in their 30s learning later in life that they had one as well. We'll see after the week is up, might go to the Dr. to get checked for it.

Welp, I tried the humming for 3 full exhales over about a minute several times a day. It certainly does seem to help, but my particular condition is still persisting with sinus inflammation/congestion. I don't have any mucus, and I don't have allergies. I'll prob just get checked for deviated septum at least. This technique definitely makes you feel better in several ways though, it's interesting. I suspect it is just a great stress reliever for several people. Try it out!

You are definitely an extraordinary doctor. The way you combined many pieces and put everything together is brilliant.

@@yashg8564 Yes it is Yoga BUT in Yoga it is explained as Life Force or Prana, a positive spiritual energy we all need to bring health and harmony to our bodies. Dr. Van Dyken sticks with the material aspect of it, a new discovery called Nitric Oxide that exists for a very short period when we exhale air, we know so little of it, I rather say no more, I am not a medical doctor. In short, there are so many breathing exercises in yoga, and humming like OOOHM, etc. you got a good point.

Thanks for explaining the medical science behind humming. Great video

Thank you so much! Very informative and well presented. My nasal membranes have been slightly inflamed for years. I will definitely try this!

That’s a beautiful scenery... great video thanks

This is the first I've heard of Nitric Oxide and its role... explains so much I was wondering about. In the mean time this afternoon I'll be making a PVC didgeridoo tuned to 137 Hz to play and hum along with. Should be interesting to see if the theta beats produced (when humming at 130) will aid in the transport of ‘stuffiness’. The NO interaction might explain why (during breath work) I'm sometimes able to breathe so clearly I can smell something like ozone, a pure note in itself - so amazingly other worldly when that happens. Looking forward to listing to other vids of yours

A great art of teaching a dry subject for most of us.

This was beautiful!! Thank you!! I just found out 3 weeks ago that I have a mild arythmia of the heart. I asked the doctor fir the test. I was told many folks have it and don't even know about it. I also have had BPresure in the past. I am definitely going to start this daily. 🙏

I am72 and have the sinus problem but also the heart irregularity you mention I am excited to try! Thank you!!

Excellent. This is right in line with many of the breath sounds in Continuum movement practice. Also other somatic exercises. Thank you for explaining this part of the science.

Absolutely fascinating, but had wanted more about exactly how to hummmmm. . . A summary focusing on how to hum with more details had made the video even better.

Thank you Dr Van Dyken! I teach the Humming Breath technique to my patients for reducing stress & anxiety to help them sleep & they report “I slept like a baby”. I never knew about the NO connection & the resulting profound effects that you describe.

You sure know how to present a topic. Thanks, I appreciate it a lot!

You bring a very interesting study on nitric oxide and I hope to look into what Dr. Van Dyken has to say. I've been taking L-Arginine for over 20 years as a supplement to a bodybuilding lifestyle and I knew of the benifits of take the supplement orally but you've presented a unique and atypical prospective. Thank you for a refreshing video.

Interesting, I've been intuitively humming like this, regularly for a few years. I assumed it was doing something to my vagus nerves or nervous system in general. I am also a yogi, and utilize sound healing modalities. (Aummm/ohmmm is effective, as are the breathing techniques/exercises). I also taught myself that when i first sit down to read, humming for the first page or so gets me into a 'zone' where i feel that i read faster and comprehend better/more. 🙏

Your explanations are super amazing! Your enthusiasm is contagious. You are doing great work by such detailed research linked benefits in a very lucid manner. May God bless you always.

This is good info, thanks. I’ve been practicing TM with a standard mantra for several months and have noticed my sinuses do feel like they’re resonating on the ending “hmmm” portion of the mantra (to keep my sinuses clear, I’ve been using the net I pot for almost 2 decades). But this is a delicious icing on the cake of health! I’ve had high BP for years now and since practicing TM, I’ve noticed my BP is more manageable with less pharmaceuticals. Such good intel. Subbed...

Interesting. Would like to see more examples.

Finally catching up doesnt really give justice the truth of the matter. "Modern Science" and American medical field made it out to be foolish and that medicine was the only way. Meanwhile the medicine has side effects worse than the problem. Then they say the yogi's could be getting more out of it than they know?? Seems disrespectful to yogi's and their culture. As a massage therapist and a young yogi i assure you i already knew what i was doing and all it does for me when i Aum during mediation. And i know for a fact it is doing way more than just simply fixing medical issues. It alignes chakras and replenishes your "chi" just to name a couple. And that is the real healer...

@@mikoxbigs7961 Can you please tell me where any kind of yoga specified this particular benefit. If there is I have not read it.

Brilliant in every aspect.. best wishes.
