Seydel PULMONICA® - The Pulmonary Harmonica with English handbook includes Free USA Shipping
Deep, resonant, meditative sounding harmonica that gently pulses the lungs. Set with handbook in English
The PULMONICA® is a brilliant solution for patients who understand their lung function and want to take an active role in keeping themselves well.
Chest percussion and vibration ("chest physiotherapy") have long been standards of care for patients with pulmonary problems. The medical literature is replete with scientific studies demonstrating the effectiveness of chest physiotherapy in the treatment of individuals having difficulty clearing secretions. The PULMONICA® can be a useful supplement for existing physiotherapeutic methods.

From January through May 2013, a medically supervised study with the PULMONICA was conducted at the Senior Friendship Center in Sarasota, Florida, under the supervision of Dr. William Weiss (s. video), who has served as the pulmonologist at the Senior Friendship Center for 18 years. All study participants were tested for and had Stage 3 COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) without other serious comorbidity, such as CHF (congestive heart failure).
Results from the Medically Supervised Trial were extremely positive (pic. 3). All of the patients improved in their quality of life assessment, spirometry, six minute walk, and everyone agreed that the more they played the PULMONICA®, the better they breathed and felt.
Please note: We don't know any secondary effects, but please talk to your MD before start using the PULMONICA® regularely. Please also read through the detailed description coming with the instrument.
