Why the difference? The right nostril connects most directly to the right hemisphere, while the left links to the left side of the brain. For most people, even left-handers, the dominant language centers are in the brain’s left hemisphere.
In respect to this, does the right nostril go to the brain?
Although the olfactory bulbs on each side are connected, anatomical studies have shown that information from smells entering the left nostril goes predominantly to the left side of the brain, and information from the right nostril goes mainly to the right side of the brain.
Subsequently, what does it mean when right nostril is blocked? When we have a cold, the blood vessels in the nose dilate as part of the body’s immune response, and the nose also produces more mucus. Both of these changes cause congestion, but you’ll feel more blocked in the nostril that’s currently ‘off duty’. The nostril with the full airflow might feel fine.
Additionally, what is the left nostril for?
The left nostril is the end of the ida (the feminine) nadi. Breathing through the left nostril stimulates the ‘feminine’ (emotion and creativity) aspects of our body.
