摘要

Human nasal dominance, characterized by variations in airflow or pressure between the nostrils due to transient obstructions caused by erectile tissue, has significant implications for wellbeing, as it is related to neurological and physiological aspects [1]. In Svara Yoga, which is one of the authentic and ancient traditions of Yoga, the concept of human nasal dominance holds great importance, the alternating airflow or pressure variations between the nostrils correspond to the activation of specific energy channels or “Nāḍīs” in the subtle body [2]. The transient obstructions caused by erectile tissue in the nostrils are linked to the flow of Prāṇa (life force energy) and can be influenced through specific techniques in Svara Yoga and Haṭha Yoga [3]. Accurate detection of nasal air- flow and dominance is essential for understanding Svara Yoga, the dynamics of the Nasal cycle, and potential diagnostic applications. This research article introduces a novel and cost-effective tool for measuring and characterizing nasal dominance through airflow.
