Detox
Clear your system and refresh
Overview
Detox Breath combines controlled breathing with forceful exhalation to support your body's natural cleansing processes.
Benefits backed by research:
• Enhances lymphatic circulation
• Increases CO2 elimination
• Supports liver detoxification pathways
• Improves cellular waste removal
• Boosts immune system function
The 4-4-2 pattern with forceful exhale helps activate the diaphragm fully, massaging internal organs and stimulating the vagus nerve. The hold phase allows for optimal gas exchange, while the sharp exhale helps expel stagnant air from the lungs.
This technique is particularly effective during cleansing programs or when feeling sluggish.

4. Tips for Success
