THE SCIENCE OF SWAR
The Science of Swar is related to our breathing. Our normal breathing has two phases - inspiration and expiration. This normal bodily function of breathing in and out is called "Swar" where air flows through our nasal passages alternately, not simultaneously.
The Three Categories of Swar Chandra (Moon) Swar or through Left nostril Surya (Sun) Swar or through Right nostril Susumna (Madhyam) Swar

The science of Swar says that when we breathe through the left nostril, our right cerebral hemisphere is activated and emotions like faith, religion, humanity, wholesome behavior, spirituality, knowledge, and a peaceful state of mind are experienced.
When we breathe through the right nostril, the left cerebral hemisphere is activated and intellectual pursuits, thinking power, philosophical points, mathematics, speech and its analysis are executed.
Swar and Health: Right or Sun Swar - alleviates poor digestion, indigestion, acid reflux, nausea and vomiting, low blood pressure, asthma, joint pains, inflammation of various joints and cough-related chest diseases.
Left or Moon Swar alleviates high blood pressure, palpitations, arrhythmia, feeling scared and urinary infections.
Sudden illnesses like acute pain in the chest, back, muscles or chronic illnesses like migraine, asthma or high temperature can be reversed by physically changing the active Swar, that is - if the current Swar is left, immediately change it to right and vice versa.
Swar and Successful Endeavor Success is more assured if one leads with the foot or uses the hand corresponding to the active Swar when one commences work.
Food and Swar To eat when Right or Sun Swar is active and drink when Left or Moon Swar is active, leads to a healthy life.
