Effect of Aum Chanting Based Resonance Breathing on Quality of Life in Asthma Patients

The rising global burden of asthma, particularly in India, and the increasing evidence of autonomic dysregulation and psychological distress in asthma patients highlight the need for good adjunctive treatment strategies. Breathing techniques such as pranayama and resonance breathing have shown effectiveness in improving asthma symptoms, autonomic balance, and quality of life. AUM chanting, while underexplored in asthma, has demonstrated promising effects on autonomic regulation, stress reduction, and respiratory control in other populations. Combining resonance breathing with AUM chanting may enhance these effects and provide a novel non-pharmacological treatment for asthma. The proposed study aims to investigate the effects of AUM chanting based resonance breathing on quality of life, dysfunctional breathing pattern, autonomic and lung functions in asthmatic adults. Given the growing interest in integrative therapies and the potential of AUM chanting to enhance autonomic flexibility, this study could provide valuable insights into the utility of non-pharmacological interventions in asthma management.
