Description:

iBreathe is one of the first biofeedback applications for the iPhone. iBreathe monitors your actual breath rate and assists you in lowering and maintaining a 'therapeutic' level.

How can iBreathe help your general health through deep breathing? First it can reduce stress. When stressed, people have the tendency to take shallow breaths. Some studies can shown that a fast breathing rate is linked to high blood pressure. To relax you do the opposite. Devices in the market today have scientific studies proving that deep breathing for 10 minutes or more three times a week can help lower blood pressure. These devices cost hundreds of dollars and are not the most portable things to carry around.

iBreathe also helps release endorphins into the system. These are our bodies natural painkillers. This can help relieve general aches and pains, as well as help ease problems with sleeplessness. Deep breathing also relaxes muscles, a major cause of neck, back and stomach pains. Some studies have shown that deep breathing can also benefit asthma sufferers. This is partly because deep breathing can strengthen weak abdominal and intestinal muscles, and who doesn't want that?

iBreathe is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any disease including hypertension. Patients should consult their health care practitioners for advice before beginning any new health care program.
