How to use the Breather?

  4. Increase the inhale and exhale settings independently of each other if the set of 10 breaths becomes too easy. Reduce the dial settings if you have not been using your Breather for a period of time due to illness or other reason.
  5. Training: Please use The Breather 6 days per week. 2 sessions per day (mornings and evening). 2 sets of 10 full breaths per session.
  6. You should start noticing positive benefits after your first week of use. Continue training using The Breather for the rest of your life.
