  • During this, your back should be straight and keep your eyes closed.
  • Now close your ears with the help of both your thumbs.
  • Now close your eyes with the help of your two fingers and take a deep breath.
  • Make a humming sound while exhaling.
  • Keep in mind that your mouth should be closed. When you make a sound like a bee, it will make you feel vibrations in your body including your brain.
  • You can practice it as much as you can.

Udgeetha Pranayama

Udgeeth Pranayama can also prove helpful in keeping you away from mental diseases. You can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's to a great extent through regular practice with Udgeeth Pranayama.
