The effect of Chandra Bhedi Pranayama (Left nostril breathing) on autonomic functions were investigated in healthy male volunteers, The Left nostril breathing (LNB) Comprised 30 Males in age groups of 18-25-years. Initially, in subjects control Values of respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), Systolic blood Pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded. The same parameters were recorded after 4weeks of training in LNB. After 4 Wks practice of Chandra Bhedi Pranayama, HR (P<0.01) decreased, SBP (P<0.001) declined more significantly and RR (P<0.0001) and DBP (p<0.05) decrement was maintained. The results suggest that there is a parasympathetic dominance evoked by LNB (Chandra Bhedi Pranayama).
