How to improve oxygen level naturally ? | Dr. Hansaji Yogendra

namaskar by now everyone knows that corona virus targets the respiratory system hence patient feels breathlessness shortness of breath and restlessness in some cases oxygen level goes below the saturation point so it is highly essential to enhance our breathing capacity and so the oxygen level [Music] are certain ways to enhance the oxygen level naturally first proning with increasing cases few hospitals are facing deficiency of oxygen tanks by now most of us are aware how to increase the oxygen level naturally by pruning this pruning technique is been explained by lots of people but we have to understand this technique correctly so let's understand how to do pruning in this boning technique lie down on your stomach take one pillow at the upper chest that is around here take another pillow below your hips not on your stomach don't press your stomach your diaphragm will not move otherwise hips below hips and the third pillow below your knee little lower part of your knee so these are the three areas where you have to put pillow some people need more pillow at the hip region carry on or some at leg legion carry on depending upon your comfort but this is how you are supposed to lie down in this position you can lie down from half an hour to two hours comfortably so lie down in this position and take simple easy breathing this position helps increasing blood circulation to your lung and really helps in oxygen absorption in this position you can rest your head on your hand also what we talk as makarasana in yoga this is one part of pruning the second part is lying on the sides after this belly down position one should then lie down on the side taking the support of your arm up below your head this is called as radhasan position in yoga so lie down on the side hold your hands let your head rest on your hands and lie down in a relaxed way your legs can be little bit folded need not be straight lie down comfortably in this position in this dadasan position pradasan should be done on both the side lie down on the right side for 30 minutes to 2 hours and then lie down on the left side for 30 minutes to 2 hours this is in fact the best position to sleep during normal conditions also these postures can help affected patients to enhance the oxygen level naturally and also keep the alveoli unit open but understand this is only an aid if the condition is severe proper medical health is required understand those who are not affected they should also practice all these things because it would definitely increase their lung capacity apart from all these a normal person can do more of all these other exercises which we are mentioning second point breathing exercises all the inhaling and retention kind of pranayamas work wonders to improve your breathing capacity and so the oxygen level here are some excellent breathing practice everybody should do this regularly first equal breathing try and see that you inhale slowly fully and exhale slowly fully and make your breath equal so develop more awareness about this breathing do this at least 30 rounds in a day we have three sets of muscles diaphragm intercostal and clavicular now when you inhale fully and exhale fully you are involving all the three sets of muscles equally second breathing exercise is clavicular breathing bring your arms here at the shoulder level inhale and bring your chest upwards push your chest upwards and bring breathe out and relax your chest relax your shoulders so this type of a movement and breathing equally would help improvising your clavicular breathing third area is intercostal muscle area so try and keep your both hands on the side and breathe in and expand your ribs from the side and breathe out and contract your ribs from the side this movement of rib would help you to increase the capacity of intercostal muscle by which you can improve the oxygen level another pranayama is the exercise of diaphragm so do this diaphragmatic breathing where you are lying down your legs closer to your body and while inhaling you are bringing your abdomen little up and while exhaling push the abdomen little down inhale stomach up exhale stomach down go on doing this very easily at least 30 rounds to three times in a day so here you have used all these three sets of muscles first you have developed these muscles and now you have used it for a complete inhalation and exhalation this should be done regularly another breathing technique is kumbak where you are inhaling and then you are holding your breath stopping your breath for some time so this retention of breaths really helps in opening up all the alveoli units in our lungs by which it helps increasing the oxygen absorption into the blood the last exercise could be kapalbhati this kapalbhati really helps removing the toxins from the respiratory tract it's a wonderful kriya lesser the toxin more would be the oxygen absorption so here try and sit quietly start inhaling and exhaling first understand that you have to suck the air from the nostril strongly and release the air strongly so it should be this sort of a moment 30 rounds and then taking a long breath in it's beautiful technique to follow and it should be followed by everybody now the third point when we want to increase the oxygen level in our blood we have to take care of our diet also we should eat more iron-rich food to improve our hemoglobin level spinach and all such green leafy vegetables then comes beans pulses legumes beet and even food like raisins apricots pomegranate all these things should get placed in our food less salt in your body would help oxygen absorption at kidney and blood another thing is drink sufficient water whenever you are thirsty drink water fourth technique could be chest expansion technique we should open up our chest and so here are certain asanas which we should do regularly first wall stretch go to the wall spread your arms on the side and give go closer to the wall pressure it out when you go on doing this movement at the wall this would expand your chest second asana would be adho mukha svanasana third is yestikasa fourth three konasana these asanas will keep all the muscles involved in the respiration flexible if the chest muscles are flexible and stretched it will help just in easy inhalation and exhalation and thereby increase the oxygen intake follow all these tips and it can help keeping your lung in good condition and what will happen it would improve your oxygen levels and above all keep your mind free from worry as the mind so is your health as the mind so is your breath so try and see that your mind is free from stress tension very anxiety see that you think positive good see that you remain cheerful and happy and go ahead with your journey let there be any problems problems come to go they never stay it will go away nature is there to help us not to destroy us have faith do your duty towards
