The Science of Breathing
Our products are designed to integrate conscious breathing into both daily rituals as well as mediative exercises.
Conscious Diaphragmatic Breathing
Breathing is the only one of our body’s systems vital for life that we can directly control, used well, taking a deep breath gives us a powerful tool to positively affect the wellbeing of both body and mind.
“Diaphragmatic breathing allows us to consciously counteract the stress response”
Conscious diaphragmatic breathing works by switching off the body’s stress response, reducing levels of cortisol in the blood and harnessing the associated myriad of health benefits.
Well-founded in scientific principal the benefits include helping you to control anxiety and creating focus and resolve. Imparting a sense of stillness and calm means the body is quietened, aiding sleep, rest & digestion, improving gut health, boosting immunity, as well as reducing heart rate and blood pressure.
Both scent and nature can also have profound benefits to our wellbeing through the same neural pathways.
We have created simple rituals to help you harness the combined healing powers of breath, scent and nature.
