I've been doing this exercise daily, every morning, since I first read this post around 6 weeks ago.
First and most obvious, it makes a profound difference in my sinuses and ease of breathing. I have perpetual sinus problems with clogged sinuses, and I've been diagnosed/labeled as having Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (EDT). I had a big difference in my breathing clearly as soon as I started the exercise, and that has persisted.
Second, I am pretty sure it is helping improve my hearing. The EDT was causing muffled and distorted hearing, I couldn't sing because my voice was rumbly and distorted, and I couldn't enjoy listening to music. That took a turn for the better the week I started the exercise, and by now my voice sounds pretty much normal to me and I can enjoy music again.
Third, I think I am noticing a gradual improvement in my eyesight. I was having problems with one eye being blurry, not focusing well, and being hazy around bright light. It's been gradual, but I am pretty sure my vision is better now, both the focus and the haziness around light. I've also been taking what my daughter calls "eye vitamins" which also include marigold extract. I think those are gradually helping also, but I suspect the general effect of the exercise has been to provide a better environment for self-healing, and I think this set of issues - sinuses, hearing, eyesight - are likely inter-related.
