Breath work is any type of therapy that uses breathing exercises to improve mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It can be used to treat conditions like anxiety, stress, depression, and pain.

There are many different types of breath work, but they all have one goal: to help you feel better.

Breath work is sometimes called conscious breathing because it involves being aware of your breath. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as:

Focusing on your breath
Breathing through your nose
Counting your breaths
Slowing down your breathing

Breath work is a simple concept, but it can be very powerful. Just by changing the way you breathe, you can change the way you feel.

There is a lot of scientific research to support the benefits of breath work. For example, one study found that just 10 minutes of deep breathing can lower stress hormones and improve heart rate variability (a measure of heart health).

Another study found that deep breathing can reduce anxiety and improve mood in people with anxiety disorders.

And a recent review of studies found that breath work can help relieve pain.

So, if you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or in pain, breath work could be a helpful tool for you.
