DESCRIPTION:

It would be nice to breathe optimally without thinking about it. Unfortunately, most of us have developed numerous bad breathing habits, which serve to deliver sub-optimal health. “Breathing To Heal” teaches us how to breathe optimally and efficiently. It also teaches us the physiology of breathing, various techniques for clearing our sinuses and airways, herbs that increase lung health, how to breathe around polluted environments, and how to breathe with different postures, positions and frames of mind. Techniques of pranayama, tai chi, hatha yoga and qigong are also discussed, along with breath control and the Buteyko technique. Allergens and filtration systems are also reviewed. This is a complete and practical book on becoming a better breather every day. 364 Pages. Copyright 2014.
