Dear Friends,
Many of you have asked me how natural Ayurvedic treatments can help with sleep. Sleep is an issue that is very important to me. As you may know, I work a minimum of 12 hours a day, on top of a very commute to and from the office. I love what I do, making it hard to stop at the end of each workday. But I know how important rest is to my physical and mental health.
An estimated one in three adults doesn't get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep each night. This has serious consequences for health. Sleep deprivation can lead to serious health problems such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. It has also been linked to an increase in car- and work-related accidents.
There are many causes of sleep deprivation, from using screens right before bedtime to working nighttime shifts at your job to diet. As much as I would like to control all of that, I can’t! But here is what I can help you with. A huge factor in the quality of your sleep that many people are not aware of is your breathing. Specifically, your breathing through your nose.
By soothing your nasal passage, the GuruNanda Halo Humidifier and Essential Oil Diffuser can support more comfortable, restful sleep. How? Read on to find out. It all starts with your nasal turbinates.
WHAT ARE NASAL TURBINATES?
Inside your nose, you have 3 pairs of long, thin bones covered with a layer of tissue. These bones are your nasal turbinates. If you have allergies or other nasal problems, your turbinates swell or produce mucus, blocking airflow. This is where most congestion comes from.
At night, nasal congestion causes you to breathe primarily through your mouth, which in turn leads to snoring and interrupted sleep. If you’ve ever been asleep all night yet woken up tired, mouth breathing is probably a good explanation as to why.
HOW CAN A HUMIDIFIER HELP MY NASAL TURBINATES?
A humidifier helps nasal passage turbinates in several ways. Firstly, the humidifier adds moisture to the air, which helps to thin out the mucus in the nasal passages, allowing it to be cleared more easily. This helps reduce uncomfortable congestion and can make breathing and sleeping much more comfortable. Additionally, the humidifier can help reduce inflammation in the nasal passages, which is often caused by dry air. This can help reduce symptoms of allergies, colds, and sinus infections.
Finally, the humidifier can help to reduce the size of turbinates in the nasal passages. Thick mucus and dry air can cause turbinates to swell, which can further inhibit breathing and make it harder to clear mucus. When the air is more humid, though, the turbinates can shrink back to a more normal size. This can help reduce irritation and inflammation in the nasal passages.
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THE HALO HUMIDIFIER AND DIFFUSER TO SUPPORT DEEPER SLEEP?
Of all the humidifiers on the market, the GuruNanda Halo Humidifier and Diffuser is simply the best. Why? First off, it’s in the name–this device provides two functions at once.
As a humidifier, the Halo is an extremely powerful and versatile device. It is capable of providing up to 5.5 gallons of humidity output per day, allowing it to quickly and easily increase the humidity in any given space. With its intuitive LCD display and adjustable fan speed, users can customize their humidifying experience to perfectly soothe their nose turbinates and achieve deeper sleep.
The Halo is also extremely quiet, which makes it perfect for use at bedtime, and is designed with many health benefits in mind. Its high-efficiency filter traps contaminants and allergens, helping to keep the air in any space free from harmful particles. Additionally, its adjustable output and humidity levels can help to reduce the risk of skin dehydration and respiratory problems, making it a great choice for anyone looking to improve the air quality in their home.
But of course, that’s not all the Halo does. As a diffuser, the Halo uses ultrasonic technology to diffuse a customizable amount of essential oils into the air. You can also choose soothing music to accompany the mist of essential oil, creating a truly immersive experience.
All GuruNanda essential oils are 100% pure and natural and ethically sourced. But for sleep, I particularly recommend our bestselling True Lavender Essential Oil 2-Pack.
Many factors dictate the quality of your sleep. And while I can’t personally address all of them, I can promise that with the GuruNanda Halo Humidifier and Diffuser, you’ll be supported for a more relaxing and restful night’s sleep.
Namaste,
Puneet
