Cure for: This pranayama clears the nasal passage and helps the functioning of the thyroid gland and benefits respiratory disorders, especially bronchitis and asthama.

Method

Sit in any comfortable meditative pose. Inhale slowly, deeply and steadily through both nostrils with a low uniform sound through the glottis.

Hold your breathe for a second or two after inhaling and then exhale noisily only through the left nostril, keeping the right nostril closed.

Do this as often as required.

Note: Persons suffering from high blood pressure should not practice ujjayi pranayama.
