Breathe Well

Harness the healing power of your breath.

Anxiety?
Asthma?
Sleep apnea?
Brain fog?
Snoring?
Insomnia?
Rhinitis?

Can the way we breathe affect health?

Exercise, eating well, good posture – when we think of healthy habits these often come to mind. But what about good breathing habits?

The physiology of breathing is directly linked to health. Breathing well calms the nervous system and improves respiratory and cardiovascular health. It can also reduce symptoms of common conditions such as asthma, anxiety, snoring, sleep apnea, rhinitis, hypertension, IBS, chronic cough, and brain fog.

Taking a big deep breath may be your natural instinct when you read this, but what if those big breaths are contributing to the problem? 

If we talk a lot, breathe through the mouth, or breathe more quickly for long periods of time due to stress, we may develop the habit of over-breathing.  This alters the levels of carbon dioxide in the body, causes constriction of smooth muscle surrounding blood vessels, airways and organs, and reduces oxygen delivery to the brain and tissues.

Noisy or fast breathing, habitual yawning, sighing, throat clearing, gasping, irritable coughing, snoring and breath holding are signs of poor breathing.

But breathing is automatic, right?

Yes, AND we can breathe under voluntary control.  Though breathing exercises, awareness of habits, and willingness to change them, you can develop healthier breathing patterns and improve your health.
