The importance of Nitric oxide (NO)
In 1998 the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to three American doctors who discovered that Nitric Oxide or NO, an endogenous short-lived gas, plays an important role in the human body. NO has the capacity to act as a signalling molecule between cells in the body. The paranasal sinuses are major producers of NO. As we grow older this production decreases and various complaints can arise due to fatser aging, such as sleeping problems skin aging, etc. When we raise the concentrations of NO back up in the body, we see that many complaints will be relieved.
The story behind the Humming Mask
The monks in Tibet have, for a long time, known that by humming, during hours of daily meditations, NO is increased. Humming creates certain vibrations/frequencies in the cavities/sinuses next to your nose. These vibrations increase the production of NO in the sinuses (Nasal Nitric Oxide) by 15x. By breathing in through the nose, this NO will be directly bound to hemoglobin for the transport of oxygen into the finest capillaries of the body and brains, which leads to many positive effects. We know from scientific research (some of these studies can be found in this site), that NO strengthens your immune system and protects you from outside invaders such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. So when we increase the Nasal Nitric Oxide we see that we are much better protected against respiratory infections.

How does the Humming Mask work?
The Humming Mask vibrates at a low frequency (90 to 110 Hertz) which gently and pleasant resonates at five locations
on the head: 2 x forehead (Frontal sinuses), 2x cheekbones (Maxillary sinuses) and nose bone for the Sphenoid sinuses. The air in the cavities of the head (sinuses) will start to resonate due to the accurate frequency. In addition to the resonating, the location, intensity and timing of the frequency is important. A program in the base of the Humming Mask controls this. Due to this combination of effects we imitate the natural humming effect. Due to this humming effect we can inhale the air through our Ostium’s and nostrils, including the Bio-Nitric oxide (bNO) what will be distributed through the body for optimal oxygen exchange.
You do not have to meditate for hours like the monks do or have to do intense exercises. The Hummmit does the humming work for you. In this way an age-old tradition meets modern technology. Because it is user friendly, it can be used very easily by children, the elderly and / or weaker people; Just relax and enjoy while humming and inhaling through the nose. Using the Hummmit is wonderful to do.
