I was curious too, so I went to the Wikipedia page:

The goal is to attain liberation in the body, by sealing in the energy of bindu in the head so that it is not lost.

Haṭha yoga is a branch of the largely spiritual practice of yoga, though it makes use of physical techniques; it was developed in medieval times, much later than the meditative and devotional forms of yoga. Its goals however are similar: siddhis or magical powers, and mukti, liberation. In Haṭha yoga, liberation was often supposed to be attainable in the body, made immortal through the practices of Haṭha yoga. Among its techniques were mudrās, meant to seal in or control energies such as kundalini and bindu. Khecarī mudrā is one such technique.

tl;dr - A spiritual practice of yoga in Hindu metaphysics.

Lmao now do me

no more blocked nose :)

Do you ask why when someone builds a castle in Minecraft?

Edit not criticizing you, just making a joke 😅

Why not? No real reason other than a novelty and it’s easier to get the dried-on mucus off in the morning or the rare occasion when I’m sick.

It’s also easier to get popcorn kernels unstuck from my back of my throat when that happens and easier to extract tonsil stones without using my finger or a different oral tool.

Also, as I’ve replied to other comments, I’ve got a slightly higher mucus production than most people seem to naturally have. So it helps to not have to blow my nose as often.
