Our bodies harbor numerous secrets that, when utilized correctly, can alleviate various issues without medication. The practice of breathing holds significant importance in Ayurveda and yoga. Notably, the two nostrils, known as Swara, profoundly influence both our body and mind.
The Significance of Right and Left Nostril
The nose comprises two primary sections — the right nostril and the left nostril. Through these, we inhale and exhale. Although they may appear similar, their effects on the body are distinctly different, which can be personally experienced.
Understanding the Right and Left Nostril
According to Ayurveda,
- The right nostril is referred to as the 'Surya Swara'. It is associated with warmth, activity, and energy.
- The left nostril is known as the 'Chandra Swara'. It is considered cool, calming, and soothing for the mind.
The right nostril enhances warmth, activity, and speed in the body, while the left nostril calms the mind, reduces stress, and provides coolness. This explains why our breathing patterns change at different times.
