Breathwork Cuts Brain Blood Flow by 45 Percent, Study Finds
Original: breathwork
A new study reports that intensive breathwork reduces blood flow to the brain by as much as 45 percent. The finding challenges the idea that controlled hyperventilation practices are harmless, suggesting they can temporarily deprive the brain of oxygen-rich blood. Researchers say the effect may explain sensations of lightheadedness reported during intense breathing sessions, though the long-term health implications remain unclear.
Why now: New scientific evidence questions the safety of a widely practised wellness trend.
