In recent years, the prevalence of sleep-related disorders has surged due to various factors, leaving a significant number of individuals grappling with insomnia.

In the midst of this escalating issue, an ancient yogic technique known as Moon Breathing, alternatively referred to as Alternate Nostril Breathing or Nadi Shodhana, has garnered attention. This practice is hailed for its remarkable ability to induce instant sleep. To give it a try, follow these steps:

  • Begin by closing your right nostril using your right thumb
  • Slowly inhale through your left nostril
  • Gradually exhale through your right nostril, while keeping your left nostril closed
  • Repeat this sequence several times

This method not only clears your nasal passages but also imparts a profound sense of tranquility to your mind, facilitating a swift transition into a restful slumber.

How Moon Breathing helps:

Here are some of the potential benefits associated with this practice.

Better Sleep: As mentioned previously, Moon Breathing is known for its ability to induce a state of relaxation and calm, making it a useful tool for those struggling with insomnia or sleep disturbances.

Stress Reduction: Moon Breathing is known for its calming and stress-reducing effects. It helps balance the two hemispheres of the brain, promoting a sense of relaxation and reducing the production of stress hormones.

Enhanced Respiratory Health: This breathing technique encourages proper lung function and can improve overall respiratory health. It may help individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma.
