Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThis narrative review examines the A52 Breath Method and other breathwork practices for mental health and stress resilience. The authors synthesize existing literature on how controlled breathing techniques may influence physiological and psychological states, including reductions in anxiety, improvements in mood, and enhanced stress resilience. The review discusses mechanisms such as autonomic nervous system regulation and suggests that breathwork shows promise as a low-cost, accessible intervention for mental health, though it notes the need for more rigorous, large-scale studies to confirm efficacy and establish standardized protocols.
