Alternate nostril breathing, or Nadi Shodhana, is a yogic breathing technique that offers numerous physical and mental health benefits. This practice involves inhaling through one nostril while closing the other, and then switching, which helps balance the flow of air through both sides of the nose and harmonizes the hemispheres of the brain. Regular practice can reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and mental clarity, and enhance overall respiratory function. Additionally, it promotes relaxation and a sense of calm, making it an excellent tool for managing stress and enhancing mindfulness. By fostering a balanced energy flow, alternate nostril breathing supports overall well-being and mental health.
