Balloon breathing to gently encourage the muscles that support your breathing to relax for good gaseous exchange and better oxygenation in your body.

It helps to reduce the tendency for carbon dioxide to be retained in the body when you haven’t been able to move much or breathe as well as you normally would.

Use your normal ordinary breathing through the nose with these simple actions.
