Breathing Techniques Interest in respiration is ubiquitous to all cultures and all times. Often we fail to understand that breathing is the first and last thing we do in our lives, but we rarely pay attention to it. Monks, athletes and yogis have always recognised the innate importance of breath, the elixir of life. Its myriad of benefits has been acknowledged by the health community as well, but it is still the most underutilized vital sign Moreover, the importance of respiratory rate has elevated in the post-pandemic world with breath experts advocating the physiological and psychological benefits of breathing. But, despite this, medical practitioners seldom ask us how we are breathing when we visit them. Some scientific and medical researchers are also of the opinion that respiratory rate monitoring can help detect serious health problems. Pulmonologist John F. Fiselmann, in 1993, pointed out that respiratory rate higher than 27 breaths per minute(BPM) served as an important indicator of cardiac arrest.All Rights Reserved
