A small study suggests that blowing into a conch shell, a traditional breathing practice, may help reduce symptoms of sleep apnea by strengthening airway muscles, offering a low-cost alternative to CPAP machines, with further research planned to confirm these findings.
A study from India suggests that blowing a conch shell, a traditional yogic practice, can significantly reduce symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea by strengthening airway muscles, offering a low-cost alternative to standard treatments like CPAP machines. The research involved 30 participants practicing shankh blowing for six months, resulting in fewer breathing interruptions, better sleep quality, and reduced daytime sleepiness. Further larger studies are planned to validate these findings.
A small study suggests that practicing shankh blowing, an ancient Indian breathing technique involving blowing through a conch shell, may reduce symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea by strengthening airway muscles, improving sleep quality, and decreasing daytime sleepiness, offering a low-cost alternative to traditional treatments like CPAP.
