Blowing a conch shell, or shankh blowing, is tied to better sleep for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients. A study included 30 participants aged 19 to 65, with half practicing conch blowing and others doing deep breathing. After six months, those who practiced were 34% less sleepy and experienced improved blood oxygen and fewer OSA episodes. The technique is low-cost and involves creating vibrations that strengthen airway muscles, addressing OSA, traditionally treated with more invasive machinery or medications.
In a study, blowing into a conch shell could improve sleep for patients with obstructive sleep apnoea, showing a 34% decrease in daytime sleepiness and higher blood oxygen levels.
Shankh blowing creates vibrations and airflow resistance, strengthening upper airway muscles, which often collapse during sleep in obstructive sleep apnoea patients.
