  • Publication number: 20150360079
    Abstract: The present invention is a pulmonary harmonica for achieving health and wellness through controlled breathing. The invention is a modified harmonica with specifically low-tuned reeds that produce frequencies not associated with normal musical performance that allow the user to generate a stream of controlled low frequency sound waves that break up congestion in the user's lungs and sinuses. The invention includes a pulmonary rehabilitation treatment using inspiratory and expiratory muscle training that encourages continued use of the pulmonary harmonica so that use of the device and diaphragmatic breathing become habitual through practice.
