Improve Your Constipation with Breathing Technique – Video

Breathe Your Way to Better Digestion

Dr. Vikki Petersen shares a study on “box breathing” that improved bowel motility in patients with IBS and constipation. This technique involves slow inhales, holds, and exhales, calming the nervous system and promoting a “rest and digest” state.

By balancing the vagus nerve, box breathing can positively impact digestion. Dr. Petersen recommends trying this technique for 5-10 minutes, especially when stressed or having trouble sleeping, and invites those seeking health improvement to contact her team for a consultation.
