- Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an immune disorder caused by fungi, leading to sinus membrane damage.
- Nitric oxide (NO) is naturally produced in the nasal airways and sinuses, with high concentrations in healthy sinuses.
- Humming increases nasal NO production by 15- to 20-fold compared to quiet exhalation.
- A case study showed that strong humming for one hour daily significantly reduced CRS symptoms in four days.
- Humming technique involved low-pitch vibrations (approximately 130 Hz) without causing dizziness.
- NO has antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties, potentially explaining the therapeutic effect.
- The subject's cardiac arrhythmias (PACs) also improved coincidentally with the humming treatment.
