1. A controlled particle dispersion breathing method, the method performed by a user having a sinus, comprising:
- providing a nebulizer having a particle dispersion chamber to a user, the particle dispersion chamber capable of producing nebulized particles;
activating the nebulizer;
breathing a plurality of quick breaths as nebulized particles begin to flow out of the particle dispersion chamber;
creating a pressure in the sinus of the user using the back of the throat;
repeating the breathing of a plurality of quick breaths, holding the quick breaths and creating a pressure in the sinuses;
breathing a plurality of long breaths; and
repeating the breathing of a plurality of quick breaths, holding the quick breaths, creating a pressure in the sinuses and breathing a plurality of long breaths.
