I tried this humming thing some people are recommending, and I think it actually works.

Its based on solid research - test groups that hum in the specific frequency were found to have increased their nitric oxide production a dozen or more times. Whereas control groups and groups that did the meditation in another frequency either did not produce any different amount or comparably low amounts.

Do you have any sources on that research? Sounds very interesting
The youtube video has links to various ones in the description. But you have to follow the posts to get to the actual research. Here are some:

When you try doing it, you start noticing a strong smell that smells like early spring or the smell certain air purifiers make. This smell lasts as long as you keep humming.
