The circular breathing helps strengthen and stretch the lungs as well as giving the player relaxation and the ability to meditate more deeply. |

Playing helps me meditate. I use the breathing to put my self in to a trance. The vibrations also send me in to a trance. Circular breathing I feel is good for my lungs |

Not only the breathing techniques bring power to my body but also the trance like feeling that comes to mind several times is strengthening the soul. |

I think the deep breathing required would be beneficial to health. There are some blood pressure remedies which require breathing in certain patterns. |

In Kentucky where I live sinus problems and a stopped up head are a daily problem resulting in many headaches. The vibration helps to actually relieve this pressure. I took it up to reduce snoring and find that not only does it reduce snoring but I get a better deeper restful sleep and feel better during the day. |

I read that playing didgeridoo has positive affects on sleep apnea. I suffer from chronic obstructive sleep apnea and I have anywhere from 50-70 breathing related issues an hour while sleeping. The traditional CPAP machine doesn't work well for me due to sinus issues. I figure I love music and all instruments (play bass guitar drums and a little ukulele) so if I can get a benefit from playing a didgeridoo I'd be more than happy to do so. |

I would have to guess improved breathing would result as it appears the didj takes a lot of air which in turn would improve vitality and energy. |

I would assume that it would have a positive effect as a cardio tool. I also know that it should help reduce snoring. I also expect it to help with ones mental health as with playing other instruments. |
