With the pranayam (breathing techniques) you are taking extra oxygen into your lungs and heart and brain. Each blood cell carries extra oxygen to your body systems, makes them healthy and in turn, helps to reduce your symptoms. Extra oxygen going into the left and right brain, relaxes the brain, reduces stress, and lets the pituitary and pineal glands do their job better. The body has its own system of maintaining the health, and pranayam just boosts this system and you feel the benefit gradually.
You have to start practising pranayam and experience the benefit yourself and make notes. You will learn so much about your body, as you give some time to help the body.
When you can do more than 15 minutes of pranayam, then try to find out more.
You will be able to tell how pranayam is helping you, after you have done it for more than 2 weeks for 30 minutes, as it is all in your control.
I posted on your other thread on the Substance Abuse forum. Sub needs to be taken under a doctors supervision, not your friend. It comes with it's own set of issues. We want you to be safe here......sara

You want to know what to do. This is a very natural way to help your body to balance the systems in the body.Do the anulom vilom, daily, for 30 minutes, three times a day, with your eyes closed. This works gradually, so allow months, and come back with your feedback at some point.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.
Anulom Vilom pranayam –
Close your right nostril with thumb and deep breath-in through left nostril
then – close left nostril with two fingers and breath-out through right nostril
then -keeping the left nostril closed deep breath-in through right nostril
then - close your right nostril with thumb and breath-out through left nostril.
This is one cycle of anulom vilom.
Repeat this cycle for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day.
Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day.
You can do this before breakfast/lunch/dinner or before bedtime or in bed.Remember to take deep long breaths into the lungs.You can do this while sitting on floor or chair or lying in bed.
Bhramri Pranayam -Close eyes. Close ears with thumb, index finger on forehead, and rest three fingers on base of nose touching eyes. Breathe in through nose. And now breathe out through nose while humming like a bee.
