People often associate yoga with a breathing exercise. It is not wrong since many yoga practices can help the yogic to improve their breath. More importantly, a breathing exercise may also heal some other relatable health issues, especially when dealing with the immune system. You may maintain your immune system with a healthy lifestyle, but adding a yoga exercise to boost your immune system can heal your colds and sinus infections.
There are many yoga practices to help your nasal allergies stay away, such as Yog Mudra and other breathing exercises. Those exercises can reduce stress while supporting your immune system. Furthermore, you can combine your daily Ling Mudra with some proper Pranayama routines and other yoga practices below for healing the various incurable disease, including your nasal allergies. If you wish for a better approach, you can also try to do these yoga practices together with salt therapy that is currently trending.

Pranayama
Pranayama is a deep-breathing yoga technique. It aids you to breathe better while delivering more oxygen into the lungs. This way, you can decrease your sinusitis. This pranayama naturally moistens the enamel and strengthens the cells of the larynx. Also, it helps to clean the excess laryngeal cells causing the spasms.
If you wish to do pranayama properly, you have to go in the open air or a salty room (the Himalaya salty room can make you feel like on the beach). After that, you can start breathing using your nose rapidly within one minute before relaxing a few seconds and repeating the process. In this pranayama kriya, there is no breath management. However, you can repeat this pranayama kriya about 7-8 times. Please remember to do this breathing yoga exercise before eating.
Rapid Sun Breathing
This rapid sun breathing exercise is quite similar to the previous. However, you have to close the left nose and breath using only the right nostril rapidly for about one minute. You may take a few seconds to rest before repeating the process. Similar to pranayama, there is no breath management within this yoga kriya. However, you can only do this breath exercise before eating and repeat it about 5-6 times. This yoga practice can increase the heat energy within the body and burns the mucus in the region. This way, it can unblock the nasal cavity region.
Mudra Healing
When exercising a mudra healing or ling mudra, you have to bring the two palms together and interlock the palms facing each other, keeping the right palm straight and vertical. In this exercise, you have to enclose your vertical thumb with another thumb and index finger. This yoga mudra can escalate the fire area of the body and the heat in the system. Then, this process can lead to energy improvement. This ling mudra can help to heal the bad cold and chest complications caused by cough tri dosha.
You can also add a pran mudra to your yoga exercise. In this exercise, you need to join your ring and little finger’s tips with the tip of the thumb. Practicing this yoga mudra will improve your immune system while charging significant energy in the body.
NetiKriya
NetiKriya is the process of cleaning the nose. Neti is the perfect process to overcome snoring. It is recommendable to perform this process under qualified supervision. If you can exercise this yogic nasal wash every week, at least one or two, you can generate many advantages, especially to treat your sinusitis.
Meditation
The vibrations created by singing and humming promote air movement and open the miniature channels that connect the nose to the sinuses and allow the sinuses to a decent clearing. Close your mouth and lift and stretch your head, especially your jaw, upward. After that, gently close your eyes and ask for a slow, deep breath, then hold your breath. Try to feel the vibration in the nasal cavity. You can repeat this exercise 10 times.
