Hey folks, I noticed you linked to some of the threads where I discuss my nasal ballooning and have all kinds of negative things to say about me. I thought I'd come and tell you a bit more about my experience. I tried the technique for a few weeks. At first, I was noticing some strong sensations whenever I did it. I felt a satisfying expansion throughout my skull, and depending on the day and turbinate I used, a variety of other sensations such as release of ear pressure, a feeling of my teeth shifting, and soreness in my nasal bridge. After a few weeks of this, it stopped working. For several days in a row, I did the inflations but did not feel anything. I decided to take an extended break and will come back to it in the future.
I have not noticed any changes in my facial structure, but I have not been especially bothered by some of the problems I was having in the past, most notably the ear pressure and jaw clicking. At any rate, the people who claim to have noticed changes in their facial structure did the ballooning over a much longer period than I did, so my lack of visible results has not yet discouraged me. I can assure you that the method is safe. It has been used by many experienced and knowledgeable practitioners and there is plenty of evidence (mostly anecdotal, but evidence all the same) that it is effective.
