• During cold weather, never breathe through your mouth because the bronchial tubes will become inflamed and congested.
• Try not to be in a hurry because every incidence of stress activates the adrenal glands.
• Adrenaline promotes the congestion and constriction of the bronchial tubes.

• Eat a light diet with little meat; meat once a week is enough.
• No milk products, tomatoes, hot peppers, or kiwi. No smoking should be obvious.
• Don’t take medications that weaken the immune system, such as antibiotics. • Get enough fresh air by taking long walks.

• Do yoga or gymnastics every week and get enough rest.
• Most people who suffer from breathing difficulties are familiar with inner loneliness (too much detachment from the surrounding world) and/or cannot set boundaries.
• Consequently, they feel themselves plagued by other people’s duties and problems (too little detachment).

METHOD:

• Both hands Press together the fingernails of the middle fingers and keep other fingers extended.

• In case of an acute asthma attack, first do the Bronchial Mudra for 4 to 6 minutes.
• Then use this Asthma Mudra until the breathing calms down.
• For long-term treatment, use these two mudras five times every day for 5 minutes.
