Humming To Increase Nitric Oxide

[@craigphillips6308]

It needs to be said that, you get the same benefit from humming without closing off the ears and eyes with your hands. Also, very reliable research has been done in Sweden that, you receive the most Nitric Oxide in the first four breaths you take. After that, there is no benefit. So, it is recommended that you wait three minutes before doing another four breaths.

Mr. Göertz, can this exercise be needed to do while sitting down, laying down or standing up? Or there is no difference? Also, is the pitch of the humming need to be deep high or low? Thanks 🙏

It feels relaxing because humming also stimulates the vagus nerve and consequently the parasympathetic system

TCM suggests that the tongue closes the switch between the governing and conception vessel pathways while practicing Qigong.

[@yosoymook]

I’m a little late, but this is really interesting. Makes me think of the humming we associate with meditation. I wonder if early meditational practitioners realized this somehow lol

[@kareendeveraux1847]

Important topic and thank you for the video! Nitric oxide is crucial for the health of the blood system and keep the inflammation level low. Additionally, it is important to watch out for a vitamin b12 deficite. B12 is needed to break down homocysteine in the blood and to produce NO. Modern food has been drained of vitamins and coffee/nicotine and several other drugs (also psychiatric ones) can deplete the b12. I was wondering maybe that's why some patients have extreme problems with psych drugs withdrawal, while others haven't.

Thanks. I am quite sure it works also just humming and not doing those hands and tongue positions.

[@binathere2574]

Stimulating these points are to help you relax. The point in the mouth that the tongue touches is used in other exercises as well.

[@paramj4287]

The point is to control the vibrations generated through humming. Anyway is good.

[@nareshagarwal772]

​@@binathere2574 the tongue touching the upper palate right behind the upper teeth is the natural position of tongue .. I don't know for how long was mouth breathing normalised in the west.... Here In India,we have taught since childhood to do this breathing exercises(pranayam)..

[@MOAB-UT]

Good tips Doc. Why do we have to cover eyes though. That part seems silly and likely not necessary. I might also suggest you lift some weights so you can build up your body a bit more. Resistance training and running (I do both) helps make the machine run great. I am older too- my BMI is 20, BP is 98/75 and just had a great full check up. I must be doing something right. I also do not use mouthwash or fluoride and my nutrition is dialed in.

[@goertzpsychiatry9340]

This is a yoga exercise. The recommendation is to cover the eyes. Peter Goertz

[@MOAB-UT]

@@goertzpsychiatry9340 Right but why cover the eyes? Seems wholly unecessary. One can simply close their eyes. I like the humming though. Great for NO production as is breathing through the nose, working out and having a great nutritional plan. I do all of this.

[@paramj4287]

@@MOAB-UT The video demonstrates a yoga exercise. Yoga is ancient ayurvedic knowledge followed by yogis. People ve been doing this even before the research about on the humming releasing NO. You could wait on the more research to back this up or simple follow.

[@vinod00012]

Tell m other pranayam which increase nitric oxide sir..

[@goertzpsychiatry9340]

Hi Vinod, I don’t know much about yoga, so I don’t know the answer to your question. Best, Peter Goertz

[@1122redbird]

Nice video sir. I believe it's called bee breathing, and after a few rounds, you want to make sure to breathe in through your nose. One thing I picked up from this video is to make sure to keep the tongue on the palate inside your mouth.

[@goertzpsychiatry9340]

Thank you! Peter Goertz

[@peacemonger766]

Not sure what difference it might make, but I came across a source that suggested that the note of middle C is ideal for humming.

[@DaninVirginia]

Hey Dr. Goertz is there any guidance as to which frequency or pitch of humming is most effective?

[@goertzpsychiatry9340]

Interesting question. I don’t know the answer. A yoga instructor may know.

Hello doctor, I am a medical student in my third year, I found your channel recently, I saw the video about what you require to have to be an psychiatrist My dream since a very young age was to be a psychologist, but never told anyone because this is not even considered as a real job in my society, there are psychologist here but people don't take them seriously , only the "crazy" would visit them. So I didn't dare to go into this specialty, but when I found about psychiatry I felt the there would still be some hope for me to do what I real love to do. But I would still face a big opposition when taking the decision to peruse this specialty. I would like to know from you , how is this work activity, is it mere short consultation where you prescribe a medication or there are cases where you take the role of the psychologist and do long therapeutic sessions with your patient?and how frequently these cases would occur?

[@goertzpsychiatry9340]

Psychiatrists do do psychotherapy, however less frequently than in the past. I myself enjoy doing psychotherapy and having longer visits with patients. Peter Goertz

[@LORD4806-m4s]

Dr is the benefit only limited to the nasal cavity? Or it has a systematic effect on the whole body heart, brain etc...

Hi Abdalla, My understanding is, that nitric oxide affects blood vessels throughout the body. Peter Goertz

[@quantumquinoa]

I don’t think there can ever be a localized change in your body that won’t have a noticeable effect in other areas. A change in one part of your body will effect the entire system.

This has been show in studies to be big boost in nitric oxide levels in the blood
