Humming helps sinusitis!

of course in addition to the chemistry, I've wondered about the vibrational effect, ever since a college infection coincided with required choral rehearsals. The higher I sang the more gunk drained out!

Thanks everyone for a year of great sharing & dialogue.

stay healthy out there & happy holidays to all.

Sometimes, I wonder, if it is a complementary effect. Sometimes singing does cause the sinus to drain, for me. And likewise, if I stop and blow my nose and cough up phlegm, my voice clears up and even lightens a little bit.
