Nose cleansing session
After nose cleansing, one can benefit from breathing exercises. Your lungs and the respiratory passage will be clean and will be able to supply your blood with more oxygen. As a harmonic conclusion of such a small program, you can do “the alternate nostril breathing” to gain an even better balance and clarity in the brain.
