I love to hum & sing. Not on key but I love it. And I have never had a sinus infection.🤷🏻‍♀️

Love it!! And going to try it. Haven’t hummed in ages. And with all the attacks against the body, from unhealthy agriculture practices, shopping choices, unhealthy air with weather modifications to boot, we need to do what they did in the Bible. Set out the contagious for implementation of natural healing practices, and go with a heart of faith, and obeying & trusting the creator He will see us through all the unnatural things assaulting us.

This will also heal the psyche I truly believe. And that’s a good contagion.

I suffered from Sinusitis most of my adult life, and it robbed me of my vitality and vigor daily. Sinusitis is most insidious in that it will allow you just enough strength to drudge through your day while fighting constant fatigue and nausea. I found temporary relief after endoscopic surgery (it returned) and from antibiotics when I could convince a doctor to prescribe them for me.

Years ago, I did find some relief using a vitamin & mineral supplement called Sea Silver, but that evidently was working too well for too many people. The government forced it off the market in 2003 and had the U.S. Marshals seize their inventory, causing the company into bankruptcy in 2004. Supposedly, millions of dollars were collected for consumer refunds, but I never received a dime—nor did I want any. I wanted the product! The product actually worked and gave me genuine relief, exposing the massive gap between gov't regulators' legal crackdowns and a real patient's actual recovery. Along with the American medical cartel, our gov't hates us when we don't produce income for their friends and benefactors. We then have to be punished.

But I digress. While Sinusitis could very well be fungal and I did suffer from thick mucus and polyps, I now believe in my case it was environmental as well. I had lived in an old house for years, and when I finally moved, my Sinusitis cleared up. Believe it or not, I use those little Vicks inhalers to keep it in check now. Sinusitis evidently doesn't like Eucalyptus.

Old houses often have mold/fungal spores in the air which can lead to an allergic response, but you’re right other environmental allergies can also be involved from dust, chemicals or whatever else an old house might harbor.

Neither my parents nor my ex-husband could stand my beloved humming! How wrong they were. I had lots of infections as a kid, but luckily once past 14 and a pneumonia, it seemed to get better. Touching wood - I haven't had one in quite some time! Years ago, I learned a small line of music, the humming song. From a Russian composer, forgot his name.

Could it be "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Rimsky-Korsakov?

Haha that would be a buzzing song. Of course now I had to find that old thing... it is called The Humming song, by Dimitri Kabalevsky. Thankfully I remembered it was in the easy piano pieces my late husband and I bought in hopes we would start studying... he had learned as a child, and I struggled through the first volume... then gave up. I still ping-ping new hymns for church, because I cannot sing from sheet music!

How to hum properly?

Dr. Syed Haider's avatar

Just take a deep breath and make a loud humming noise with your mouth closed so you feel your face slightly vibrating.

I find it helps to rest the tongue on the roof of the mouth right behind the upper front teeth and then to close the jaw softly so that your mouth is closed but without gritting the back teeth. Breathe in through your nose, place your hands on your tummy to support your breath, and then let your hum be the breath out, trying to sustain that hum as long as possible before taking the next breath in, but without straining. Think choral singing, but without the words. I like to hum hymns, so I get that phraseology of when to take the next breath.

Inhaling ozone water vapor will prevent sinusitis. Bubbling ozone in water creates one of the safest and most effective disinfectants. Fungus, bacteria and viruses can be eliminated by using this simple solution.

You wrote - "Modern science has confirmed what ancient ayurvedic wisdom knew, namely that humming calms the autonomic nervous system which has profound body wide effects on healthy functioning."

Humming? - or was ancient ayurvedic wisdom more specifically refering to the practice of giving or intoning a Mantra? - or both?

Dr. Syed Haider's avatar

There is a plain humming practice in Ayurveda also aside from mantras, you can also do it while focusing in the third eye between your eyebrows, perhaps then it helps decalcify the pineal gland…

Humming, Mantra, Gregorian chant - in Our New Era "The science of the Spoken Word" - which combines all adding meditation, visualization, invocation and sacred science into one practice of the "Decree" as in King James Bible Job 22:28 - "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways."
