ABSTRACT
Background: Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways by spastic contraction of the smooth muscle in the bronchioles, which partially obstructs the bronchioles and causes recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. About 300 million people are suffering from asthma globally and about 10% of it belongs to India. Asthma is, therefore, also associated with oxidative-antioxidative imbalance in the body and might have a psychosomatic origin. Objective: The aim of present study was to investigate whether regular practice of Pranayama for three months can reduce severity and duration of attacks and Keywords: Asthma, Pranayama, Pulmonary function test.
