YOGA FOR ASTHMA

Breathing is something most public take for granted excluding those with asthma. Asthma contracts the airways in patient's lungs to the point somewhere it can be tough to hold breath. Omkar Yoga and such other breathing exercises open up airways to help breathe easier. Yet for some people with severe asthma, these medicines might not be enough to control symptoms but regular practice yoga surely helps.

Until lately, doctors didn't advise breathing exercises for asthma only since there wasn't adequate confirmation to explain that breathing exercises work. Very recent studies proposed these exercises do help improve your breathing and quality of living. Based on present verification, breathing exercises may have importance as an add-on therapy to medication and other regular asthma cure.
