Summary

Tinnitus is a condition in which the person hears sound, which isn't coming from the external environment, often, described as ringing in the ears.

Patients describe the condition as an annoyance and disturbance and in turn this correlates with increased levels of anxiety and depression. Currently, there is no single effective treatment for tinnitus so research continues to look for new ways to treat and manage the condition.

Bumblebee Breath starts by finding a relaxed, supported posture, either laying supine or in seated and then bringing the minds attention to the space between the eyebrows (or third eye in yoga terms). With the eyes close the thumbs are placed over the tragus of the ears, the first finger gently rests on eye lids, middle finger touches the sides of the nose and then the index and pinkie rest just above and below the closed lips. Next, a sound is created by inhaling deeply through the nose and exhaling with a low-pitched humming sound. The result sounds very much like a bee buzzing to the person performing the breath and a sensation of vibration is experienced inside the head and over the face. this study is designed to assess Bumblebee Breath on tinnitus.
