BREATHING THERAPY ( Archived) (9)

Our noses have left and right nostrils. Are these nostrils having the same function for inhaling (breathe in) and exhaling (breathe out)?

Actually it's not the same and we can feel the difference. Accordingly, the right side represents the sun and the left side represents the moon.

When having headache, try to close your right nostril and use your left nostril to do breathing for about 5 min. The headache will be gone.

If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril and breathe through your right nostril. After a while, you will feel refresh again.


Because the right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily. The left side gets cold easily.

Women breathe mainly with their left nostril, so they get calm down easily.

Men breathe mostly with their right nostril, so they get angry easily.

When we wake up, do we notice which nostril breathes faster? Is it the left side or the right side?
If the left nostril breathes faster, you will feel very tired. Close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing and you will get refresh quickly.

Practice the correct ways of breathing (breathe in and breathe out) and your body will be in a very relaxing condition.

very interesting any thing for weight loss?

I suppose you could cut your nose off and lose a few grams that way...

Interesting physiognomy . .. . . . . . .However in my culture the "moon" is actualy represended by another part of the human anatomy . . . . . . . . . I also do not know any connection to headache release relating to same other than not getting caught ! . . . . . .

i heard of sum breathing exercise related to yoga that helps with weight loss

I thought we had 2 nostrils so we could smell in stereo!

Cool - I'll have to look into this...
