What Is SPO2 and How Can Ayurveda Help in Improving Oxygen Saturation Levels? - #15096

Thank you for sharing your concerns. I understand how frustrating it can be to experience shortness of breath and fatigue, even with normal SPO2 levels. It’s good that you’re seeking ways to improve your respiratory health naturally. Ayurveda emphasizes balancing bodily energies to support lung function and circulation. Herbs like Tulsi (Holy Basil) and Vasa are traditionally used for improving respiratory health by reducing inflammation in the airways and promoting better airflow. Licorice is also known for its soothing effect on the respiratory tract. While these herbs may help, I recommend consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure they’re used in the correct dosage and form (tea, powder, or capsules) for your specific needs. In terms of lifestyle practices, pranayama (breathing exercises) such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and Bhastrika (bellows breath) can improve oxygenation and lung capacity by strengthening the respiratory muscles. Gentle yoga poses like Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana) and Child’s Pose (Balasana) may also promote deeper, more efficient breathing. If you continue feeling short of breath, I recommend monitoring your SPO2 levels and following up with your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions. Combining Ayurvedic remedies with regular physical activity and mindful breathing could help support your overall respiratory health and energy levels. Stay positive—you’re taking great steps toward improving your well-being.
