Resonance Frequency Breathing

Meaning

Resonance Frequency Breathing is a precise, controlled breathing technique where the rate of respiration is intentionally slowed to match the body’s natural cardiovascular oscillation frequency, typically between 4.5 and 6.5 breaths per minute. This specific synchronization maximizes the efficiency of the baroreflex loop, which in turn leads to a high degree of cardiorespiratory coherence and heart rate variability (HRV). Clinically, this technique is a potent, non-pharmacological tool for immediate autonomic nervous system balance, significantly enhancing parasympathetic tone and reducing sympathetic overdrive.
