This treatment will strengthen your teeth and gums and more importantly, improve sensitivity of your taste-buds and freshness in your mouth. Dhumapana: A therapy that requires inhaling medicated fumes through each nostril to experience an enhanced sense of smell. It removes excess phlegm and also opens up the sinuses.
