“I recommend breath work to almost all patients that I see because, in my experience, stress is a primary cause (or an aggravating cause) of most cases of illness. And even if people have diseases that clearly have organic physical causes, relaxation can nonetheless benefit them and help their body’s healing system work better.”
– Andrew Weil, MD, Breathing: The Master Key to Self Healing
This is a perfect description of why slow breathing exercises work for basically anyone. Regardless of your condition (even if you don't have any), relaxation is still valuable in our modern stress-filled world 🙏
