The Breathing category explores the science and clinical relevance of respiration from both biomedical and Traditional Chinese Medicine perspectives. Proper breathing mechanics influence oxygen exchange, autonomic balance, cardiovascular efficiency, emotional stability, and overall performance.
From a biomedical standpoint, respiration supports cellular metabolism through oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide regulation. Diaphragmatic breathing improves lung expansion, enhances vagal tone, and may reduce sympathetic overactivation. Controlled breathing patterns have been associated with improved heart rate variability, stress resilience, and cognitive clarity.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Lung governs Qi and respiration while working closely with the Kidney to anchor breath.
Within this section, you may find:
