Immediate effect of practising bhramari pranayamaon cardiovascular parameters of healthy individuals

Yoga is a traditional Indian science that defines a way of life. It is practiced by practitioners using a variety of techniques, including asanas, pranayama, meditation, etc. The type and length of pranayama practices have a significant impact on the physiological reactions that are produced by various pranayama techniques..There is an intimate connection between the breath, nerve currents, and the control of the inner prana, or vital force. Methods: This study was conducted at Sree Ramakrishna Medical College of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences. 30 students have been selected for this research. The aim of the research was explained, and verbal consent was obtained. Result: The SPSS programme version 16.0 was used for the data analysis. It is evident that performing Bhramari pranayama for 10 minutes reduced systolic blood pressure (t9.185, sig 2tailed.000) and diastolic blood pressure (t7.350, sig 2tailed.000), but that the pulse rate increased (t-12.348, sig 2tailed.000) after completing the practice. Conclusion: It can be concluded that pranayama has a beneficial effect on cardiovascular functions and cardiac autonomic activity if practiced for a longer duration. This significant result proved that practice of Bhramari pranayama gives good results in maintaining blood pressure and also reduces the stress levels that we experience in our day to day lives.
