The Oxygenation Sanjeevini is to help improve the oxygen level in the body. Lack of oxygen is something most of us are "suffering" from. Partly the blame lies in the polluted environment but partly we ourselves are to blame as well. We have forgotten how to breathe. This is the reason that most meditation techniques start with concentrating on the breath - simple awareness of the breathing pattern as each breath enters and leaves the nostrils. Even in our busy schedules all of us should be able to spend a few minutes standing at an open window and breathing deeply. Start by breathing out deeply so that the lungs are cleansed of old stale air. Please do not use your nose as a pump. Instead concentrate on the abdomen breath i.e Abdomen moving upwards as you breathe in and Abdomen moving inwards as you breathe out. This causes a vaccum to be created as the Abdomen moves inwards and air is sucked in effortlessly in large quantities. Try pausing for about 4 to 8 seconds between each inhalation and exhalation and the next inhalation. This allows for a deeper and efficient respiration.

Note 1 :Drugs like Lassix, which are being indiscriminately prescribed today, can damage our kidneys - they cause the water to leave the body leaving behind all the toxic waste which can cause kidney failure. (See also note on salt under Thyroid combination). People with water in the lungs are also prescribed this drug. The water in the lungs is often not monitored and Lassix is taken on a regular basis giving rise to dehydration of the lungs. In an attempt to retain moisture, the parched lungs then go into an attack of breathlessness or wheeze. In such cases do not interfere with the Lassix dosage - only explain to the patient the cause of his or her breathlessness. The patient can sip water when breathless in order to replace the fast disappearing moisture.

Note 2 : Please study the section Guidelines on Diet & Lifestyle very carefully and guide the patient accordingly. Also read the note under SSC 3 Anemia Combination
