Insights into the Nasal Cycle: From Biology Class to Personal Reflection

Is the nasal cycle every 2 hours like this article says or does it last 3 to 6 hours like this article claims?

I do not know, even though, in the back of my thoughts I have known of this for quite some time. I re-discovered this after watching some breathe videos that have been appearing in my youtube stream.

I did not know it had a name but I had noticed in the past that sometimes I would breathe better out of one nostril than the other. The cool thing is that there is a dominant nostril. Similar to having a dominant hand. For right handed people the dominant nostril is the left. For left handed people the dominant one is the right.

In high school biology we were taught about dominant and recessive traits and about systems of the body but how much physiology was actually retained and how different has the subject changed from the late 80's early 90's to today.

Can you tell me what system controls bodily functions like heartbeat, digestion or breathe? It is the autonomic system.

What other body systems have we neglected over the years? It is a simple enough thing to give attention back to where it should be in order for self healing.

I for one know I had a very relaxing morning practicing purposeful breathing. I think this is all quite interesting and I am sure there is more to learn about this.

I know this post is short but it is getting near time to get some house work done. In an hour I will be getting dinner ready.
