Summary of The Fascinating Link Between Nasal Hair & Nitric Oxide
nasal hair density is indicative of asthma risks, with denser nasal hair potentially reducing the chance of asthma and severe symptoms by catching allergens and forcing slower breathing.
nasal hair serves the purpose of catching airborne particles, capturing moisture, and protecting the respiratory system.
nasal nitric oxide is important for vasodilation, opening up airways, killing viruses and bacteria, and potentially improving sexual health.
Humming at certain frequencies can increase nitric oxide production, with 120 Hz being suggested as the most effective frequency.
Humming through the nose increases nitric oxide levels significantly, potentially helping with conditions like chronic rhinitis.
There is interest in conducting a citizen science study on the effects of humming on chronic rhinitis.
Nitric oxide has shown potential benefits in COVID-19 treatment, but its use has not been widely adopted in hospitals.
Humming is suggested as a potential method to increase nitric oxide levels, with box breathing techniques also mentioned.
The effectiveness of humming for increasing nitric oxide levels has not been extensively studied, but it is considered a safe practice with potential benefits.

— 00:57 — « We didnt evolve to have nasal hair for no reason at all. Theyre there to catch a bunch of crap thats in the air and to help protect us. »
— 03:05 — « You can produce a profusion of nitric oxide by humming. »
— 03:34 — « If you were smaller and cant hum a note that low, then the resonant frequency of your sinus cavities will naturally be higher. »
