Treatment of Asthma by Pranayama

Asthma is a respiratory tract disorder caused by inflammation of the airways of lungs. Common symptoms include dizziness, cough and wheezing. If one has poor breathing cycle, the symptoms may even worsen. Breathing exercises such as pranayama help relaxing the strained breathing muscles and improve the asthma and other respiratory problems. It is a breathing yoga technique that helps to lessen the intensity and frequency of asthma.
In addition, pranayama if done on a daily basis enhances the lung capacity and stamina of the patients. Also, pranayama facilitates the controlled breath. Pranayama as an exercise has two components: puraka and rechaka. Puraka signifies inhalation or intake of air and rechaka signifies exhalation or taking the breath out.
Puraka fills the entire respiratory tract with the required dose of fresh air. Rechaka causes the diaphragm to regain its original position and force out all the impurities. So get started with pranayama from today if you want to get rid of asthma!
