Try This Fun and Easy Way to Treat Parkinson’s Anxiety and Tight Muscles

Did you know that while you are humming to your favorite song, you are also improving the health of your nervous system? Research shows that humming is an incredibly powerful process for healing.

Your vagus nerve runs along the vocal cords in your throat and your inner ear. Low humming creates a vibration that stimulates the vagus nerve, activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the Rest, Digest, and Recover processes in your body.

Because humming increases the length of exhalation for each breath, it’s a fun way to incorporate deep breathing as a bonus for calming your nervous system. It’s also a great way to boost your immune system.

Watch this video to learn How to Use Humming to Stimulate the Vagus Nerve and Calm Your System Down:

Here are the steps to use humming to stimulate the vagus nerve:

1. Sit up tall and straight so you can take a deep breath.
2. Breathe fully through your nose, filling up your belly, side ribs, and back ribs.
3. Hold briefly (you can put your tongue on the roof of your mouth).
4. Exhale by performing a low hum with your lips closed. Do this until you are completely out of air.
5. Repeat these steps for five to 10 minutes once or twice a day.

I like to do this while driving—it’s fun and a good way to start your day!
