JALANDHARA BANDHA

NORADRENALINE

“Applying Jalandhara bandha in kumbhaka exerts pressure to baroreceptors in the carotid sinus. The carotid sinus baroreceptor plays a vital role in the control of blood pressure and heart rate.

Afferent signals travel from carotid baroreceptors to the cardiovascular control centre in midbrain via the glossopharyngeal nerve. The effect stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, while inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system.” Martin Thompson

Noradrenaline is released when we are challenged, curious, exercised, focused or emotionally aroused. When produced at the right levels it helps the brain grow new connections. The study suggests the way we breathe directly affects the chemistry of our brains in a way that can enhance our attention and improve our brain health.

Research shows for the first time that breathing practices directly affects the levels of a natural chemical messenger in the brain called noradrenaline.
