It involves alternate breathing through the left and right nostril with the other nostril being blocked. Usually it is done in cycles, which start with an inhalation through the left nostril while blocking the right nostril with the thumb of the right hand. Subsequently the left nostril gets blocked with the right pinky and ring finger while exhaling through the right nostril. Following that is the inhalation through the right nostril and, after blocking the right nostril again, exhalation through the left. This concludes one cycle and will be repeated for as long as planned. <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-561d9c7\" data-id=\"561d9c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b352729 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b352729\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"231\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/balanceblissyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/anatomy-lungs-breathing-145696-231x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"anatomy, lungs, breathing\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balanceblissyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/anatomy-lungs-breathing-145696-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/balanceblissyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/anatomy-lungs-breathing-145696-788x1024.jpg 788w, https:\/\/balanceblissyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/anatomy-lungs-breathing-145696-768x998.jpg 768w, https:\/\/balanceblissyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/anatomy-lungs-breathing-145696.jpg 985w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5721834 elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5721834\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;none&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 24 24&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M12.7,2.3c-0.4-0.4-1.1-0.4-1.5,0l-8,9.1c-0.3,0.4-0.3,0.9,0,1.2l8,9.1c0.4,0.4,1.1,0.4,1.5,0l8-9.1c0.3-0.4,0.3-0.9,0-1.2L12.7,2.3z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec3951a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ec3951a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Studies about Nadi Shodhana<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-8ea4c57 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8ea4c57\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-b182d2d\" data-id=\"b182d2d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-247ab6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"247ab6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">Studies about Nadi Shodhana are mostly done at Indian universities and Ayurveda clinics. Most of them are randomized controlled trials with mostly relatively small numbers of participants. Often the participants are healthy, young, male and without yoga experience, frequently recruited from university students. The duration of breathing exercises varied between 10 and 45 minutes per day with a study duration between 5 days and six weeks. Depending on the study varying possible medical or clinical effects of Nadi Shodhana were evaluated.

Many of them were able to show a reduction of systolic blood pressure after performing the breathing exercises, in some cases there was also a significant reduction of diastolic blood pressure. (1, 3, 7, 8). While some studies only examined healthy, mostly young volunteers (1, 3), others could also prove this effect on patients with hypertension (7, 8). Systolic blood pressure was lowered by about 5 mmHg in several studies (1, 7). This blood pressure reduction could also be seen in patients with experience in yoga (7). In most cases, those effects were only evaluated directly following the breathing exercises. It can be assumed, that blood pressure is lowered for the duration of the exercise and some minutes after, but potentially subsequently rises again (1). \n\nThe effect on blood pressure could be induced by an elevated parasympathetic activity during the breathing exercise (5). Other hypotheses include a reduced adrenalin release or a reduced sympathetic tonus due to an altered hypothalamic activity (a brain centrum which, amongst other things, controls some hormones and vegetative functions of the body) (3).\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33

Additionally, a bronchial dilation and reduction of bronchial mucus or the recruiting of non-used alveoli could play a role (2). \n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec98e20 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ec98e20\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e10cc37 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e10cc37\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5984dde\" data-id=\"5984dde\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03ff719 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"03ff719\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Nadi Shodhana, memory and coordination<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-175b2f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"175b2f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">A study which investigated right nostril breathing, left nostril breathing and alternate nostril breathing in three groups for 45 minutes daily was able to show that all three groups improved in memory tests (number recall, verbal and spacial). Interestingly the group using left nostril breathing even performed significantly better than both other groups. \n\nA possible explanation would be stimulus transmission through the sympathetic nervous system and mechanic receptors to the hypothalamus, which are supposedly increasingly found in the mucosa of the left nostril (6). The data supporting this seems relatively thin to me. \n\nThis study unfortunately did not use a control group to exclude the possibility of this effect also existing after meditation without breathing exercise or similar practices (6).\n\nThere is also data showing improvement in bimanual coordination- and concentration tasks (Purdue Pegboard Score) (7).
