Why Bhramari Pranayama helps to reduce Corona infection?

In the process of Bhramari pranayama, inhaling will calm the mind. Inhaling pushes more air in to the lungs.

While exhaling, we do humming. That humming is very important.

Humming during Bhramari pranayama increases production of Nitric oxide.

The slow movement of air through the nasal passages stimulates the production of Nitric Oxide. Nitric oxide is produced in the nasal passages and serves quite a few healthy purposes in the body. It has now been hugely studied and in 1998 a Nobel Prize was given to three scientists who revealed the role it has in neurotransmission.

Nitric oxide transmits information between nerve cells and the brain.

This Nitric oxide is very crucial for curing corona virus infection.

How Nitric oxide impacts Corona infection?

A study has shown that practicing Bhramari Pranayama has significant impact on reducing the Corona virus infection.

In that study, it is observed that Humming increases the production of nitric oxide. Humming as a sonic cleanser, cures the infection of respiratory tract. Humming exercise also increases the vital capacity. It is estimated that humming increases the endogenous generation of nitric oxide level by 15-fold as compared with the quite exhalation.

It also mentioned that “The gas exchanges in the sinus by humming in every single exhalation while it takes 5 min to 30 min in quite breathing for exchange of air in sinuses. We can conclude that NO acts like Autocrine hormone to enhance pulmonary vascular resistance.”

In another study, it was concluded that inhaling Nitric Oxide reduces the Pneumonia and Covid -19 infection. Also, the perfusion ( passage of air through the respiratory system) improves to greater extent.

So, increasing the production of nitric oxide by your Bhramari Pranayama:

• Lowers elevated blood pressure
• Improves the tone of your blood vessels
• Sends more oxygen to your tissues to help them heal
• Can be beneficial in erectile dysfunction (depending on cause)
• Increases endurance and strength
• Reduces inflammation

What are the benefits of Bhramari Pranayama?

Apart from reducing Corona infection, Bhramari Pranayama other amazing benefits.

These include:

1. Cures Insomnia (sleepless ness)
2. Cures Sinus infection or nasal congestion
3. Remedy for Thyroid problems
4. Instant stress relief
5. Reduces headaches
6. Helps mitigate migraines
7. Improves concentration and memory

Note that people having heart disease, women who are pregnant , those having Back pain, should consult the doctor /medical practitioner before practicing Bhramari pranayama.

Conclusion

Practicing Bhramari pranayama regularly increases the Nitric Oxide production in the body. This Nitric Oxide helps to reduce the multiplication of virus spread in the lungs.
