Modified Bhramari Pranayama in Covid 19 Infection

Abstract

The Coronavirus (2019-Cov-2) infection Covid-19 is highly contagious caused by single stranded RNA virus (?ssRNA) with nucleocapsid and spreading widely all across the world and responsible for more than 3.6 million morbidity and 0.25 million mortality No specific treatment is available till date. The clinical symptoms are mainly upper respiratory leading to diffuse viral pneumonia and multiple organ failure involving. Kidney, Liver and Heart along with coagulopathies. During 2004 (SARS-CoV) pandemic role of nitric oxide in its management is well demonstrated. Nitric Oxide (NO) reversed pulmonary hypertension. Improved severe hypoxia and shortened the stay in ICU and ventilatory support. Nitric Oxide increased the survival rate. The genetic composition of Corona Virus (SARS-CoV) is almost similar to Covid-19, thus indicates good chances of effectiveness or enhancement in results by Nitric Oxide along with other modes in treatment of Covid-19. It has been proved by studies by serendipity humming increases NO Expression dramatically.It is estimated that humming increases the endogenous generation of nitric oxide level by 15-fold. Hypoxia in ARD Syndrome leads to blood coagulation by depression of body defence anticoagulatory and fibrolytic properties along with metabolic acidosis. If we go into hypoxic hypercapnic state no hyper coagulation takes place. Hence Bhramari by enhancing the expression of Nitric Oxide and increased Carbon dioxide by extended exhalation and alkaline pH prevents coagulopathies and morbidity due to Covid-19.

Effects of yoga on cardiometabolic risks and fetomaternal outcomes are associated with serum nitric oxide in gestational hypertension: a randomized control trial

“…Also, practice of yoga has been reported to decrease inflammatory biomarkers including IL-6 21 . There is a recent report of practice of bhramari pranayama enhancing the release of nitric oxide that prevents coagulopathies and morbidity in Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) 34 . Thus, increased plasma NO level by deep and slow breathing pranayamas in the present study could have prevented the development of hypertension and cardiometabolic risks and decreased the inflammatory milieu in pregnant women having risk of GH.…”

A Review on Measures to Rejuvenate Immune System: Natural Mode of Protection Against Coronavirus Infection

“…Nitric Oxide (NO) inhibits viral protein and RNA, as well as NO synthase reduces progeny virus output by 82%, reducing corona virus replication by virtue of its antiviral impact. It is hypothesized that, in addition to humming, eating alkaline meals high in dietary nitrates, which the body can convert to NO, boosts NO expression and carbon dioxide through longer expiration, preventing coagulopathies and morbidity caused by COVID-19 ( 230 ). Fresh juice free of preservatives from the aforementioned vegetables, or antioxidants derived from purple carrot and cabbage, in combination with appropriate anti-coagulants, may help prevent or mitigate the negative effects of COVID-19 pathological outcomes, as well as mitigate multi-organ damage caused by COVID-19 during the ongoing pandemic ( 231 ).…”

Yoga Therapy Influence Onto Endothelium Function: Evidential Data

“…Even in 12-week yoga-based program, a significant increase in eNOS and total nitric oxide concentrations were noticed (p<0.05) [17]. Regarding nitric oxide syntheses enhancement, Taneja MK has proposed modified Bhramari Pranayama use along with other modes in the treatment of COVID-19 as it is suggested that humming promotes nitric oxide production [18]. [19].…”
