鼻孔轮替的方式:一些在研究实验室进行的相关研究,已发表在《国际神经科学杂志》(International Journal of Neuroscience)、《神经回路前沿》(Frontiers in Neural Circuits)、《喉耳学杂志》(Journal of Laryngology and Otology)等杂志上。这些研究证明,左右鼻孔与特定的生物、精神官能存在明确联系。多项研究可参见:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=alternate+nostril+breathing。

帮助身体保暖,促进食物消化:瑜伽修行者吃完饭会左侧躺,用右鼻孔呼吸。因为他们相信,通过右鼻孔呼吸,以增加血流量和热量,有助于消化。几年前,费城杰斐逊医学院的研究人员对这一说法进行了验证,在不同日子里让20名健康受试者食用高脂肪食物,然后向右或左侧卧。那些被要求左侧卧(主要通过右鼻孔呼吸)的人胃灼热情况明显少于右侧卧的人,喉咙的酸度也低很多。他们又重复了一遍研究,得到的结果依然相同。右鼻孔呼吸让身体产生了额外的热量,只是有可能会影响消化的速度和效率,但可以肯定的是,这里面重力起到了很大作用。因为身体朝左侧卧时,胃和胰腺会处在更自然的位置,进而使得食物更易通过大肠。简而言之,就是让人觉得更舒服,消化效率更高。L.

鼻孔近端的纤毛:哭的时候,眼泪会流到鼻子里,泪水和鼻涕混在一起,使后者变得稀薄如水。这时,黏液无法再被纤毛抓住,只能随着重力往下,这就是流鼻涕。稠鼻涕更糟。乳制品摄入过多、过敏症、淀粉类食物等,都会增加鼻涕的黏稠度,进而导致纤毛放慢速度、不堪重负,最终停止摆动。这就是鼻子充血的原因。鼻塞时间越长,鼻子里积聚的微生物就越多,有时甚至会引发鼻窦炎或普通感冒。Olga V.

活到了76岁:到20世纪初时,卡特林几乎已被人遗忘。他的导师们,也就是大平原上的那些印第安人,几乎被消灭殆尽,原因包括天花、枪、强奸、奴役。剩下的那些只得借酒消愁。满头银发的曼丹人、肩宽膀阔的波尼人、温文尔雅的米纳特里人全消失了,而他们的呼吸技艺、知识也随之消失了。

始终用鼻子呼吸:卡特林有关口鼻呼吸的论述发表几十年之后,弗吉尼亚塞勒姆的瑞吉斯山疗养院的内科主治医师华生(E. E. Watson)在弗吉尼亚医疗学会的年度会议上,宣布了口呼吸是结核病传播的罪魁祸首,“即使说我们75%的结核性喉炎病例都发生在口呼吸的人身上,也毫不夸张”。呼吸系统疾病对人口的影响并非随机,也不具有遗传性。本质上,华生想说的就是,某些疾病就是病人自找的。病人是口呼吸还是鼻呼吸,在很大程度上决定了身体是健康还是得病。E. E. Watson,“Mouth-Breathing,”Virginia Medical Monthly 47,no. 9(Dec. 1920): 407–8。
