Natural Change With Sally Cross Some benefits of Humming! Humming is for Everyone!! Hum Your Way to Health: The Surprising Effects of Vibrational Humming, by Jonathan Goldman Here are a few extracts from his ebook on the physiological benefits: “lowering your heart rate, your respiration and your blood pressure immensely” "You get the release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator, which means that it basically causes things to loosen up and relax. It can be very powerful.” Nitric oxide is “what they call an antiviral agent. So if you hum, particularly if you hum and nasalize it a little bit ….you’re getting your sinus cavity to literally resonate and release nitric oxide. This has been shown to be very effective for sinusitis, which is an inflammation in your sinuses.” “You also get the release of melatonin. Melatonin of course has been useful for everything from treatment for depression, helping people go to sleep at night, and it’s also been used as an antiviral agent. Oftentimes, I’ve suggested to people if they’re having trouble sleeping, sit there and hum for a while and you’ll probably find that you will nod off pretty quickly.” “You get the release of oxytocin, the love hormone.” “You get the release of endorphins which are fabulous painkillers.” “It’s almost as though you’re giving yourself a vibrational inner massage using your own sound.” It’s powerful and yet so easy to do, anywhere, any time.
Have a go today! Hum to your favourite tune for some self-care on Sunday... Happy Humming!!
