Abstract in brief

  • Diaphragmatic deep breathing improves autonomic function by reducing sympathetic activity and increasing baroreflex sensitivity, leading to lower blood pressure and relaxation.
  • Review of 13 studies shows that practicing diaphragmatic breathing for about 10 minutes twice daily can effectively reduce blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety in prehypertensive and hypertensive adults.
  • The optimal breathing rate for positive effects appears to be around 6 to 10 breaths per minute over a four-week period, providing guidance for future interventions and research.
