If you have mild asthma, then have you ever thought about trying yoga breathing exercises to help you find relief? Doing yoga breathing exercises can help to decrease how much you need to use your low-dose drug inhalers when you are having a wheezing attack.
There have been some researchers in the past who have asked to have more studying done on the ways one can improve breathing control, as they feel it may have been ignored.
Those who practice and use yoga believe that there are benefits in using pranayama breathing exercises for asthma problems. However, this case has been a little hard to formally study. In a hospital trial, there was a way to measure the effects of controlled breathing, and this is by using a device called the Pink City lung. This device enforces slow breathing on the patient and can mimic the pranayama breathing exercises. There were two simulated pranayama exercises tested. One of the breathing exercises was slow deep breathing. The other was breathing out for twice as long as breathing in.
When someone has asthma, their airways will become restricted. This will make it hard for them to breathe, and it can even lead to wheezing or asthma attacks. This affects both many children and adults. Asthma is not just responsible for wheezing or asthma attacks, but it can also be responsible for the death of those who are suffering from it. This combined with the suffering of just having asthma and restricting activities can cause people to want to find relief and a cure for asthma.
Doctors have used clinical tests to measure the amount of air that the asthma patients were able to blow out in a second. They also have tested the irritability of their airways of the patients. After their patients participated in yoga breathing exercises, the doctors found that their airways were less irritable by twice the amount.
So yoga breathing exercises may be able to help to find relief and a cure for asthma after all! However, asthma patients should only experiment with the yoga breathing exercises, they should not stop using their asthma medication.
