Bhramaripranayama resulted into significant increase in the blood hemoglobin level of the subjects from initial 12.03 ± 1.5 gm % to 12.54 ± 1.5 gm % (p<0.1). Significant reduction in the resting pulse rate and respiratory rate of the subjects was observed forminitial mean pulse rate 77.5 ± 5.14 per min to 72.8 ± 5.2 per min (p<0.1) and respiratory rate from 19.4 ± 2.17 per min to 16.5 ± 1.56 per min (p<0.1).
