Background -People's lifestyles have become very mechanical in the modern day. Everyone is in a rat race to meet their goals, which causes stress. The repercussions of this stress on a person's physical and mental health are further. The healthy development of emotional attitudes and personality that coexist peacefully with the entire society or community is what is meant by mental health. Sadvrittapalan, application of Acharrasayana, Yoga, and meditation practises are crucial for mental health prevention. Yoga consists of eight steps, and to control the sense organs called Indriyas, Pranayam is crucial. Significant and simple form of Ashtakumbhaka is Bhramari Pranayam. The humming sound of Bhramari Pranayam causes vibrations in the body that directly affect the hypothalamus of the brain, relieving tension and bringing about calmness and happiness throughout the body. In order to offer a better answer, this article discusses the function of Bhramari Pranayama in the prevention and promotion of mental health. Material & Methods:-The data used in the current investigation was gathered from primary and secondary sources, namely literature reviews of major Ayurvedic Samhitas and texts and widely disseminated research publications. Conclusions:-This study demonstrates the critical impact Bhramari Pranayama plays in both the prevention of mental illness and the treatment of mental diseases like stress, anxiety, and depression. Ayurveda claims that continuous practise of Bhramari Pranayama reduces the Raja and Tamadosha and increases Satvaguna, thereby aiding in the development of mental health.

<p>'Pranayama' consists of: Puraka which is entering the breath, Kumbhaka which is holding your breath, and Recaka is exhaling. But from the essence of pranayama is the ability to take and manage prana especially by using breath. In spiritual life, Pranayama's role depends on the individual. They feel that by asking for Protection, Peace and the Light of God they can change their nature and purify their lives as effectively as possible by doing Pranayama. The only breathing exercise that a spiritual candidate needs is to try to breathe pure. Control over the flow of prana in the vital body which calms the mind and limits the thought process, which is an important introduction to spiritual exercises. In the text of yoga sutra patanjalai pranayama is explained in the shadana padha sutra 49 which explains what the meaning of pranyama, sutra 50-51 describes the practice of pranayama, In Yoga Sutra, Patanjali describes pranayama as a process where they can break their subconscious breathing patterns and make long breath, subside, and smooth. The subconscious breathing pattern of some people is not easy and smooth; They tend to be tense, superficial, and erratic. Pranayama can also be practiced through java pranama, pranyama also has many techniques to practice pranyama, spiritual seekers get peace of mind. As long as some breathing techniques are slowed down and the strength of the exhaled air decreases. The well-known breathing techniques teach how to activate, stimulate energy that makes a person feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable. The purpose of pranayama is to reduce the speed of breathing / slow down breathing, Prana will be calm with a slow / slow breathing process. The mind will calm down, When breathing activity decreases, the activity of the mind will decrease, Between mind and prana are the senses.</p><p><strong><br /></strong></p>

ABSTRACT Background: Pranayama techniques are known to produce variable physiological effects on the body. We evaluated the effect of the two commonly practiced Pranayama techniques on cerebral hemodynamics. Materials and Methods: Fifteen healthy male volunteers, trained in Yoga and Pranayama, were included in the study. Mean age was 24 years (range 22–32 years). Study participants performed 2 Pranayamas in 2 different orders. Order 1 (n = 7) performed Bhastrika (bellows breaths) followed by Kumbhaka (breath retention) while order 2 (n = 8) performed Kumbhaka followed by Bhastrika. Both breathing techniques were performed for 1 min each. Continuous transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring was performed during the breathing techniques. TCD parameters that were recorded included peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), mean flow velocity (MFV), and pulsatility index (PI) of the right middle cerebral artery at baseline, 15, 30, 45, and 60 s. Results: Significant reductions in EDV (3.67 ± 6.48; P < 0.001) and MFV (22.00 ± 7.30; P < 0.001) with a significant increase in PI (2.43 ± 0.76; P < 0.001) were observed during Bhastrika. On the contrary, a significant increase in PSV (65.27 ± 13.75; P < 0.001), EDV (28.67 ± 12.03; P < 0.001), and MFV (43.67 ± 12.85; P < 0.001) with a significant reduction in PI (0.89 ± 0.28; P < 0.01) was observed only during Kumbhaka. Conclusion: Bhastrika and Kumbhaka practices of Pranayama produce considerable and opposing effects on cerebral hemodynamic parameters. Our findings may play a potential role in designing the Pranayama techniques according to patients' requirements.

Introduction and Aim: Bhramari pranayama (Humming bee breath) is the most common slow pranayama practice involving inhalation through both nostrils followed by exhalation which produces sound of humming bee. Practicing pranayama reduces the effects of stress on different systems by increasing the vagal tone. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there are heightened feelings of stress, anxiety and depression and pranayama can be an effective way to improve our mental and emotional well-being. This study has been chosen to assess the effect of Bhramari pranayama on autonomic functions and to compare the immediate and training effects of Bhramari pranayama in the study group. Materials and Methods: An observational study was conducted in a medical college among 110 students aged between 18-22 years for a period of 2 months. The participants were instructed to do 9 rounds of Bhramari pranayama every day for 3 weeks. The immediate and training effect of pranayama practice on HRV (Heart Rate Variability) was assessed. The parameters of HRV (time and frequency domains) were assessed by PHYSIOPAC- PP4 (MEDICAID SYSTEMS, Chandigarh). Results: After training of Bhramari pranayama for 3 weeks, there was a decrease in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) and PNN50 and a decrease in frequency domain parameters, LFnu and LF/HF ratio were observed significantly. Conclusion: The study shows the possibility that Bhramari pranayama has a beneficial effect on HRV in medical students, as the autonomic balance produces the improvement of parasympathetic tone.

Full textAbstract:
This article discuss about scientific basis of benefits of practicing slow pranayama, especially alternate nostril breathing pranayama. It explains the basis of benefit of alternate nostril breathing exercises and its probable relation with nasal cycle, cerebral dominance and autonomic nervous system. The airflow through one nostril is greater than next at any point of time which later switches to another. This is called nasal cycle. The nasal cycle lasts from 30 minutes to 2-3 hours. The nasal cycle occurs naturally. This nasal cycle is related with the cerebral dominance. When one nostril is dominant, the contra lateral hemisphere is active. The right nostril breathing leads to increased sympathetic activity while left nostril breathing decreases sympathetic activity and increases parasympathetic tone. So it has been speculated that these three phenomenon viz. nasal cycle, cerebral dominance and autonomic activities are correlated. This review also suggests that practicing alternate nostril breathing (Nadisodhan pranayma) regularly keeps the two hemispheres active and balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic activities in the body. Sympathetic or parasympathetic activity alternates automatically in our body which is important for our survival. Due to our hectic and stressful life, this naturally occurring alternate breathing cycle gets disrupted and we suffer from different ailments. These ailments are due to imbalance of autonomic nervous system which can be resolved by practicing alternate nostril breathing, the Nadisodhan pranayama. It’s just like returning back to nature.

Pranayama (breathing exercises), involves manipulation of breath, consists of three phases: “Puraka” (inhalation), “kumbhaka” (retention) and “rechaka ” (exhalation) that can be either fast or slow. Among all yogic practices pranayama is simplest to learn and to practice regularly in daily life. So a study was conducted to explore whether pranayama practiced alone over a short duration, has any tangible effect on stress, sleep, and cardiovascular parameters
Objectives
To evaluate the effect of short term practice of pranayama on Perceived Stress, Sleep Quality, Heart rate & Blood Pressure.
Materials and method
40 healthy subjects in the age group of 19–61 years were recruited in pranayama centers, prior to enrollment in pranayama course. Their HR, BP were recorded and they answered Perceived Stress Scale & Pittsburg Sleep Quality Questionnaire on the 1st day of enrollment. Then they practiced pranayama under supervision for 20 days, at the end of which HR, BP were recorded and they answered the same questionnaires. Data was statistically analyzed using students ‘t’ test, with P value <0.05 taken to be statistically significant.
Results
Practicing pranayama for 20 days significantly (p<0.05) decreased stress, systolic & diastolic blood pressure, improved sleep quality. Heart rate changes were insignificant (p=0.9).
Conclusion
Pranayama alone when practiced even over a short term, significantly reduces perceived stress, improves sleep quality, and decreases blood pressure.

Background: In modern science, hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) is the only alternative for postmenopausal syndrome whereas non-hormonal pharmacologic therapies have been shown to be less effective than hormonal therapy. So, it was assumed that Rasayana Churna along with Pranayama would be effective in relieving postmenopausal symptoms. Objective: to assess the clinical efficacy of Rasayana Churna and Pranayama in the management of Rajonivritti Lakshanas w. s. r. to Postmenopausal Syndrome. Methods: The present open-labeled, randomized, prospective controlled clinical study was conducted after IEC approval. Total 60 female patients suffering from Postmenopausal Syndrome were enrolled in the study and randomized into two groups i. e. Group A & Group B. 30 patients in Group A were given Rasayana Churna orally with daily practice of Pranayama was advised. 30 Patients in Group B were advised daily practice of Pranayama for consecutive 12 weeks. The results were assessed by using Menopausal Rating Scale (MRS) and Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL). Results: The significant difference was observed in MRS-Total score and MENQOL scores after treatment in both the groups. Out of four scales of MENQOL, the vasomotor, physical and psychological scales showed significant improvement in the group received regimen of Rasayana Churna along with Pranayama as compared with only Pranayama. Only change in sexual scale score was found to be similar in both the groups’ patients. Conclusion: It can be inferred that regimen of Rasayana Churna along with Pranayama was more efficacious in treatment of post-menopausal syndrome as compared with only Pranayama.

The present study was conducted to examine the effects of Pranayama applied to hemodialysis patients on fatigue. The study was completed with 91 patients, including Pranayama (n = 30), Relaxation (n = 30), and Control groups (n = 31). The patients in the Pranayama group applied the interventions 15 to 20 minutes every day, once a day, for a total of 3 months, and the patients in the relaxation practice group applied the interventions 15 to 20 minutes every day, once a day, for a total of 3 months. Before the study commenced, permission was obtained from health care institutions, the ethics committee, and the patients. The data were collected with a Questionnaire, Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS), visual analog scale, and Vital Findings Form. Piper Fatigue Scale consists of 4 subdimensions, the total score obtained from the scale varies between 0 and 10, and as the score increases, the level of fatigue also increases. It was found that the patients in the Pranayama Group had decreased PFS total and subdimension mean scores after the procedure (P < .05); however, no significant changes were detected in the PFS total and subdimension mean scores of the patients in the Relaxation and Control groups (P > .05). Although the decrease in the daily fatigue severity of the patients in the Pranayama group was at a statistically significant level (P < .05), no statistically significant changes were detected in the fatigue severity of the patients in the Relaxation and Control groups (P > .05). It was also found that the blood pressure values of the patients in the Pranayama and Relaxation groups decreased (P < .05). It was found in the present study that Pranayama reduced the fatigue levels of hemodialysis patients. In this respect, it is recommended to teach and apply Pranayama techniques to patients with the support of nurses.

The purpose of this paper is to formulate and analyze the abstract behavior of diseases dynamics. The formulation of the problem in the paper is inspired by ethnographies from different social setting and ancient cultural practices related to human health problems. Many people have been worried for communicable diseases caused by virus due to their complexities and dearth of knowledge. They have been a major cause of morbidity and mortality among humans all over the world. Yoga Sadhak compartment (Y) is added to SIR model. A new SYIR model is developed which contains four governing differential equations to describe the transmission dynamics of these disease. These equations were analyzed. Effectiveness and efficiency of yoga pranayama is calculated. Reproduction number is estimated and sensitivity analysis of parameters used in the model is studied. A distinction is made between infection in naïve susceptible and Yoga Sadhak susceptible individuals. Using the model, association between prevalence of infection and immunity by Yoga Pranayama is analyzed. It is found that Yoga Pranayama induce immunity power in individuals which help to reduce transmission rate of diseases. The model shows that eradication depends on Yoga Pranayama coverage as well as on yoga Pranayama efficacy. This study definitely answers the questions regarding the effectiveness of Yoga Pranayama. Further studies are needed to formulate the model and establish causal relationship between parameters involved in the model.

Background and Study Aim. The present study investigated the effects of 6-weeks bhastrika pranayama intervention (BPI) program on health-related components of physical fitness.
Material and Methods. We used a quasi-experimental design with fifty-two healthy girls (Mean ± SD; age, 23.6346±1.1551 yrs; body height, 158.0961±3.8616 cm; body weight, 55.6826±3.4002 kg) from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, Punjab, India. The subjects were divided into two groups: Group-A: Bhastrika Pranayama Intervention (BPI); (n1=26) and Group-B: Control; (n2=26). The sample size (N=52) was calculated using the G*Power 3.1.9.7 software. A power of 0.80 (1-β err prob) and significance level (α) of 0.05. Subjects from both groups (pranayama and control) were assessed at baseline and right after 6-weeks. Group-A: (n1=26) subjected to BPI and Group-B: (n2=26) with no training.
Results. As compared BPI with the control group, the BPI group had a positive effect on selected health-related components of physical fitness (maximal oxygen consumption - VO2 max 1.3%; flexibility 1.8%; muscle strength 0.2.%). The 6-weeks Bhastrika Pranayama intervention program had no effect on the BPI group with respect to the parameter muscular endurance.
Conclusions. Daily practice of Bhastrika pranayama helps to keep lungs more efficient. Additional research is required to completely comprehend the consequences of this breathing exercise. Bhastrika pranayama is known for oxygen-based breathing exercise which helps to fill up the lungs with more oxygen. Bhastrika pranayama interventions with short as well as long duration in future research studies could be beneficial for healthy individuals with respect to health-related fitness components.

BACKGROUND Incidence of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is increasing day by day. Cardiac rehabilitation is an important aspect of management of Coronary Artery Disease. Anuloma Viloma Pranayama is beneficial to cardiac patients as it increases parasympathetic activity and lowers blood pressure and respiratory rate. This study was designed to assess the benefit of Anuloma Viloma Pranayama as rehabilitation therapy in post Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery patients. Parameters of pulmonary function test (PFT) were measured before and after 3 months of performing CABG. METHODS The study was carried out in the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, CARE Hospital, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, in collaboration with Department of Psychology and Parapsychology and yoga village of Andhra University. CAD patients admitted to the hospital for CABG procedure were included in the study. Thirty patients were selected for performing pranayama (cases) and 30 patients were taken as controls. The study was approved by the institutional ethics committee of Care Hospital, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Patients who were admitted for CABG were advised to practice pranayama for 3 months along with normal rehabilitative steps from 3rd postoperative day. Pulmonary function test was measured by spirometry. Parameters like Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), FEV1 : FVC ratio, Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) and Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) were measured. A comparison of pulmonary parameters was done between groups and statistically analysed using SPSS 20 software. P Valve < 0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS Results of the study were analysed and compared between cases and controls. All the parameters of PFT improved significantly in pranayama group 3 months after CABG when compared with their preoperative values.

ABSTRACT COPD is one of the leading causes of death in addition to coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and acute respiratory infections and is the third leading cause of death worldwide. The pathological impact caused is an increase in functional residual capacity, a decrease in arterial blood supply to the systemic circulation in the form of a decrease in oxygen saturation, shortness of breath, limited exercise capacity, decreased ability to perform daily activities, loss of productivity and decreased quality of life. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of pranayama yoga breathing exercises to the quality of life on the patients with COPD. This study uses the One Group Pre-Test-Posttest Design method. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling with purposive sampling so that the number of respondents is 20 people. Yoga Pranayama is given 12 times with a duration of 15 minutes every day for 2 weeks.The results showed that the quality of life before being given pranayama yoga intervention was mostly low about 11 respondents (55%) and after the intervention, 10 respondents (50%) had moderate quality of life. The p-value is 0.000 (<0.05), which means that there is a significant effect of giving pranayama yoga on the quality of life on the patients with COPD. Pranayama yoga breathing exercises can increase the positive influence in the mind to trigger a sense of relaxation, thereby influencing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to send a sense of relaxation throughout the body through the endocrine glands, reducing symptoms of shortness of breath so that respondents can perform their daily activities better. This leads to an increase the quality of life on the patients with COPD. Keywords: Yoga Pranayama, Quality of Life, COPD ABSTRAK PPOK merupakan salah satu penyebab kematian selain penyakit jantung koroner, penyakit serebrovaskuler dan infeksi akut saluran pernafasan dan menjadi penyebab ke-3 kematian diseluruh dunia. Dampak patologis yang ditimbulkan berupa peningkatan kapasitas residu fungsional, penurunan penyaluran darah arteri ke sirkulasi sistemik berupa penurunan saturasi oksigen, sesak napas, keterbatasan kapasitas latihan, menurunkan kemampuan melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari, hilangnya produktivitas dan menurunnya kualitas hidup.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh pemberian latihan pernafasan yoga pranayama terhadap kualitas hidup pada pasien PPOK. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode One Group Pre-Test-Posttest Design. Teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah non-probability sampling dengan purposive sampling sehingga didapatkan jumlah responden sebanyak 20 orang. Yoga Pranayama diberikan sebanyak 12 kali dengan durasi 15 menit setiap hari selama 2 minggu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kualitas hidup sebelum diberikan intervensi yoga pranayama mayoritas kualitas hidup rendah sebanyak 11 responden (55%) dan setelah intervensi sebanyak 10 responden (50%) memiliki kualitas hidup sedang. Nilai p-value sebesar 0,000 ( < 0,05) yang berarti ada pengaruh significant pemberian yoga pranayama terhadap kualitas hidup pada pasien PPOK. Latihan pernafasan yoga pranayama dapat meningkatkan pengaruh positif dalam pikiran untuk memicu rasa rileks, sehingga mempengaruhi sistem saraf simpatik dan parasimpatik untuk mengirimkan rasa rileks ke seluruh tubuh melalui kelenjar endokrin, menurunkan gejala sesak sehingga responden bisa melakukan kegiatan sehari-hari dengan lebih baik. Hal tersebut menyebabkan peningkatan kualitas hidup pasien. Kata Kunci: Yoga Pranayama, Kualitas Hidup, PPOK

Full textAbstract:
Introduction and Aim: It has been observed that recovery from COVID-19 is delayed due to continuation of myalgia, fatigue, headache and some respiratory problems even after the discharge from the hospital. Reports indicate the improvement of sensory, cardiorespiratory and psychological functions following practice of Prone asanas and Pal’s pranayama. Therefore, we conducted a pilot study to assess if practice of asanas in prone posture and slow breathing exercise of Pal’s pranayama schedule can facilitate recovery from the COVID-19 illness and alleviate post-recovery complications in these patients.
Materials and Methods: This is an interventional pilot study conducted in COVID positive patients. A structured module of prone asanas and Pal’s pranayama schedule was given to the COVID positive patients in addition to the routine medical treatments and their stress levels were assessed prior to and after the practice. Also, the acute effects of asana-pranayama schedule on the improvement of cardiorespiratory functions and occurrence of other complications in the recovery phase was recorded.
Results: Following practice of asana-pranayama schedule, the patients recovered faster from myalgia, fatigue, headache and respiratory problems and they had a feeling of well-being. Further, the complications in the recovery phase of COVID-19 were prevented and the intensity of stress was reduced with the practice of asana-pranayama schedule.
Conclusion: This pilot study has shed some light on the early recovery and the prevention of complications in the recovery phase of COVID-19.

<p><em>Students who are still teenagers are a transitional period from children to adults, where in this phase they are adolescents with very high egos and can affect how they see the world. But this is also a concern in itself, where some of them are too closed themselves and lack self-confidence. Because they are too afraid and anxious about how others think of them, they are reluctant to show themselves. Various literature and research shows that going through pranayama can psychologically affect and calm one's anxiety. The purpose of this journal is to describe pranayama in increasing self-confidence. The method used is a literature study by entering the keywords youth, self-confidence and Pranayama at </em><em>google.scholar</em><em>.com. In this journal, it is explained that pranayama can increase students' self-confidence in their teens. The purpose of pranayama is to relax the mind so that it can get rid of anxiety.

Full textAbstract:
Increased availability of smartphones and easy access to the internet among adolescents has resulted in Internet Addiction (IA). Effects of IA and Pranayama on evoked potential are available but studies on the comparison of immediate and 6-week effects of alternate nostril breathing on evoked potentials among medicos with internet addiction are not available as per our search in PubMed, hence the study was chosen. In this comparative study 100 male and female medical students aged between 18-25 years, with internet addiction scores≥50 were included as study participants. P300 auditory event-related potential and pattern reversal visual evoked potential (VEP) were recorded before, immediately, and 6 weeks after practicing pranayama. Repeated measure ANOVA shows statistically significant change (P< 0.05) in P300 amplitude, P100 latency, N145 latency, and VEP amplitude. The post hoc Bonferroni test shows that P100 latency and N145 latency significantly reduced immediately after 15 minutes of pranayama. P300 amplitude and VEP amplitude significantly increased only after practicing pranayama for 6 weeks. Pranayama has an immediate effect on latency, but it takes 6 weeks of practice to significantly change amplitude.

With the growing awareness of Ayurveda in the West, a more complete picture of the yogic path is beginning to emerge. This path reconnects the knowledge of two of India's greatest ancient sciences. Together, they comprise a whole whose two sides, like those of a coin, are really inseparable. Ayurveda brings to Yoga an understanding of how to remain physically and emotionally healthy while on the path to enlightenment. Yoga brings to Ayurveda a deeper purpose for remaining healthy, that purpose being to attain enlightenment.
