Abstract:
ABSTRACT: In the world, respiratory diseases are the most common cause of disability and death. Long-term exposure to contaminants, irritants, foreign particles, and smoking are the most common causes of infection. Some may experience difficulty in breathing due to inflammation of air-passage and other may experience tissue damage to respiratory failure. Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, pulmonary edema, pulmonary embolism and lung cancer are among these respiratory diseases. Pranayamas (Breathing- exercises) play an important role in strengthening the corresponding muscles that are actively involved in respiration and also improves various pulmonary parameters. Pranayama is an important limb in the tradition of yoga. Pranayama, in the Ashtanga yoga of Maharishi Patanjali, comes after asana and takes the fourth position. Its main goal is to cleanse the nadis, which are the channels through which the different pranas or life forces move through our body. In Hatha yoga texts, there are various types of pranayamas and their benefits to respiratory health are unlimited. The most common forms of pranayama include Bhastrika, Bhramari, Ujjayi and Nadishodhan pranayama. Along with the physical benefits, pranayama practice connects the body, mind and soul and brings full awareness towards awakening the energy of consciousness. Material and Methods: The data used in the current investigation was gathered through a variety of databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane databases and Directory of open access journals. The search criteria include randomized clinical trials published in English from 2009 to 2023 that employ pranayama as an intervention for respiratory health related outcomes and/or demonstrated a significant impact on various respiratory diseases. A total of eight articles met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The results of this study show that pranayama may boost respiratory health by removing various diseases of the respiratory system.
