    The risk from a potentially fatal sleep condition could be significantly reduced by blowing through into a conch shell on a regular basis.
    People who practised blowing through the shell regularly for six months experienced a reduction in the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea.
    Apnoea is a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops during the night due to a blocked airway.
    It leads to loud snoring, restless sleep and daytime sleepiness.
    It can also increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
    Blowing the conch shell , known as shankh blowing, has been part of Indian culture for thousands of years.
    The new research showed that people with moderate apnoea who practised this slept better, felt more alert during the day and had fewer breathing interruptions at night.
    The researchers say conch blowing is a simple, low-cost intervention that could help reduce symptoms without the need for medication or machines.
    The study was led by Dr Krishna K Sharma from the Eternal Heart Care Centre and Research Institute in Jaipur, India.
