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.
@@DaninVirginia From the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology openarchive.ki.se/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10616/38896/thesis.pdf?sequence=1 I think that was it.
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 🙏
THANKS DOCTOR,,I LEARNT ABOUT THIS TRIK THROUGH DR,,LUIS IGNARRO,,,WAS THE GENIOUS WHO DISCOVERED,NITRIC OXIDE,,IM 82,, YEARS old I FEEL ABSOLUTELY GREAT,KEEP ON WORKING ON IT,,
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.
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
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 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.
@@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.
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.
@@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)..
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?
Psychiatrists do do psychotherapy, however less frequently than in the past. I myself enjoy doing psychotherapy and having longer visits with patients. Peter Goertz
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.
I'd like to know if there are any studies that have been done that can measure nitric oxide levels within the body, both before and after doing this or other nitric oxide exercises.
I don’t know much about studies, but here is an article: www.colorado.edu/today/2021/06/29/5-minute-breathing-workout-lowers-blood-pressure-much-exercise-drugs
Hi Rahul, I don’t know what a yoga instructor would recommend, but I do this exercise daily for about 2 minutes 3 times in the evening with about a minute break between times. Peter Goertz
I have read about scientific results showing that humming for up to a week for 60-120 times a day clears out sinus problems and headaches is that true?

Thank you William! Peter Goertz
Best one! I've been sampling related videos. This short video seems to be the best by far. Thank you!
Thank you very much!
It feels relaxing because humming also stimulates the vagus nerve and consequently the parasympathetic system
Thank you for your input! Peter Goertz
Great video, thanks for pointing out the tongue position.
Thank you very much James! Peter Goertz
TCM suggests that the tongue closes the switch between the governing and conception vessel pathways while practicing Qigong.

In yog v call it Brahman pranayam
you are never too late...
Thank you so much sir... It truly is fascinating 👌
Thank you! Peter Goertz
Ty, this is awesome info.
Thank you! Peter Goertz
I just realized I been doing this since I was a kid without realizing it had benefits, i thought it felt cool and somewhat calming
Thank you for sharing this. Peter Goertz
That feels pretty good!
Very good it's brahmari pranayam
Thank you! Peter Goertz
Thank you Dr. Peter. Never knew this, amazing. something I'll do every day :)
Thank you Daniel! Peter Goertz
Thanx a lot . Its so easy and useful to do this .😍
Thank you Yilmaz! Peter Goertz
I do while walking without the hands covering. Also while walking breath through the nose. Added benefit to the walk no added time
Thank you for your input. Peter Goertz

Hum the Om
Natural value
Thanks. I am quite sure it works also just humming and not doing those hands and tongue positions.
Thank you for your input. Peter Goertz
Stimulating these points are to help you relax. The point in the mouth that the tongue touches is used in other exercises as well.
The point is to control the vibrations generated through humming. Anyway is good.

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

Hey Dr. Goertz is there any guidance as to which frequency or pitch of humming is most effective?
Interesting question. I don’t know the answer. A yoga instructor may know.
128 to 130 or C note 🎵
I wish just one video on this would just get to the point!!!
Wow! Power of AUM 🕉️..
Yes! Peter Goertz
Are you real in your DP.... you look gorgeous 🥰💕🙏
Why do we close the ears? I just want to understand the reason if theirs one
I believe it is in order to increase the vibration in the head/brain. Thank you for your question. Peter Goertz
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
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.
You may improve upon the results by humming "a", "u", "m". Ravi Sadana

Cool, Christopher Walken's brother humming!
I’m a little surprised that he didn’t warn people to not do this while driving or operating heavy machinery
Should the humming exhale go through the nose or mouth? Thank you.
Through the nose.
Bhramari pranayama thank you❤ doctor. Could you please tell me the duration and timings sir?
Hi Rahul, I don’t know what a yoga instructor would recommend, but I do this exercise daily for about 2 minutes 3 times in the evening with about a minute break between times. Peter Goertz
Has anyone noticed a difference?
I have read about scientific results showing that humming for up to a week for 60-120 times a day clears out sinus problems and headaches is that true?
Sorry, I don’t know the scientific literature regarding this. Peter Goertz
Are the effects less if I humm without closing ears and eyes? I sing humming every morning as I saw my mother do.
Hi Sandy, I find the effects more powerful if I cover my eyes and ears. Peter Goertz
Hi doc!Is there any clinical research paper on the effects of humming ?If so could you share them ?
Hi Aditya, I don’t know, but my feeling is that there may be clinical research papers on this. Peter Goertz
You miss the fact that you should breath using your NOSE and your NOSE only hehe... He’s got the wrong end of the stick
Next video I guess...
Thank you Anton for addressing this. Peter Goertz
Why cover your eyes? That’s what your eyelids are for
