Nadi Shodan (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
How can the breath stimulate the sympathetic nervous system?
If we practice breathing while gently focusing on the breath held out, this stimulates the sympathetic nervous system and increases the heart rate. Studies have also shown that when we breath through the right nostril this also stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which helps increase body heat, oxygen consumption blood pressure and heart rate. The left cerebral hemisphere is also stimulated.
