You can experience a tingling sensation in the limbs and muscles, due to the lowering of You can experience lightheadedness, as the arteries and veins to the brain and body close slightly in reaction As a result, 3 important physiological changes happen: By exerting the breathing techniques, thisīecomes significantly higher and can even go up to 7.75. Normally, on average the pH-value is 7.4. Systematically and deeply breathing in and out, the pH-value in the blood increases (making the blood more alkaline) By removing carbon dioxide from the blood through deepīreathing, this impulse to breathe from the brain stem is lowered.ĭioxide, the longer you can hold your breath. Having too much carbonĭioxide in the blood will trigger your brain stem to breathe. This, in turn, lowers the “urge to breathe”.īrain stem, specifically the pons and medulla oblongata, is sensitive to carbon dioxide. Breathingĭeeply does, however, release a lot of carbon dioxide. Our blood is usually alreadyįully saturated with oxygen (about 99% saturation) and breathing deeply does not raise that saturation. When we breathe in, we take up oxygen and release carbon dioxide from our blood. The Wim Hof Method is also linked to reducing symptoms of diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and several autoimmune diseases. - Faster recovery from physical exertion.Known benefits of the Wim Hof Method include: When combined, the three pillars will help you to become stronger and gaining better health. The other two pillars are cold therapy and training your mindset. These breathing exercises are only one of three pillars that form the Wim Hof Method. You are inducing voluntarily a short stress response which ultimately will lead to more resilience towards everyday stress, mentally and physiology and feeling more in control. By practicing the breathing exercises, you are releasing more energy, influencing your nervous system and changing various physiological responses. The exercises are focused on deep and rhythmic inhalations and exhalations, described by Wim as ‘controlled hyperventilation or power breathing’ and are followed by a retention time, where you hold your breath for a x amount of time. Practicing the specific breathing exercises of the Wim Hof Method will release your inner fire.
