Meditation is been in practice for many years and the only reason that people believe in it is that “it works”.

Respiration is one of the vital systems of our body, which is involuntarily supplying oxygen to the body to feel energetic and lively. As per Ayurveda, Prana is a sub-type of Vata dosha, and responsible for inhaling oxygen from the outer environment. The inhaled oxygen is balanced by exhaling carbon dioxide with the help of Udana, another sub-type of Vata dosha. Such involuntary mechanism reciprocates throughout life, and thus, it is necessary to maintain healthy respiration lifestyle to avoid any respiratory-related diseases.
