Left nostril breathing (LNB):

Close your right nostril and breathe in from your left nostril and then breathe out also from your left nostril. We should do this 30-40 times a day before going to bed. When we are taking in all the oxygen and energy from our left nostril, it goes straight to the right side of our brain which activates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Once the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, stress and anxiety level go down and it also helps our body get good sleep. Since doing LNB also improves blood circulation and helps reduce blood pressure, people with low BP should avoid doing LNB.

I have always spoken about four pillars of good health – right nutrition, physically being active, good sleep and emotional health. And today I want everyone to understand that no matter what, we cannot underestimate the importance of good sleep. And if we want to create long term good health or reverse diseases, ensuring good quality sleep is vital.
