Niraj Naik explains how chanting the three syllables A, U and M as a continuous tone—while inhaling through the nose into the diaphragm—can activate the vagus nerve, produce nitric oxide, dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and induce relaxation. He gives practical cues: breathe through the nose, feel the belly/diaphragm rise, then sing the continuous AUM tone repeatedly. He also notes the chant can raise carbon dioxide, which helps dilate blood vessels and improve oxygen delivery.

Is combined of three syllables, A, U and M. And when you sing these syllables, making a continuous tone, you tap into the vagus nerve, which deals with switching on relaxation in your body. You also produce this gas called nitric oxide, which has powerful healing properties, especially dilating blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and making you feel more calm and relaxed. Just going to be breathing in through your nose, always through your nose. On the inhale into your diaphragm. So you imagine your belly rises first when you breathe in through your nose.
And then you're making that tone.
And you can just do that over and over again. And that instantly calms down stress. It helps you raise carbon dioxide, which is to do with dilating your blood vessels, getting oxygen into your actual body.
