| Summary | Asthma is a chronic and heterogeneous disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction, airway inflammation and bronchial damage causing dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing and impaired quality of life. Papworth technique and Pranayama modify the pattern of breathing to reduce the hyperventilation resulting in normalization of CO2 levels, reduction of bronchospasm and resulting breathlessness .These techniques also change the emotional stresses, improve the immunity system and improve the strength /endurance of respiratory muscles.
