Wim Hof Breathing (WHB) is a simple breathing technique that may help cure hangover symptoms. The 10-15 minute breathing technique improves blood oxygenation, which in turn may reduce the major hangover symptoms like headache, anxiety, fatigue, and disorientation.
If you’re hungover right now, find a comfortable seat and let’s get into it! Of course you don’t have to be hungover to try this feel good breathing technique. 🙂
*Always do the Wim Hof Method sitting or lying down. Never in water or while driving, as the breathing technique can cause some people to pass out.*
Time needed: 12 minutes
Overview: 30-40 deep breaths, breath hold, then repeat three to four times. Be sure to always do this breathing technique sitting down.
You can use your mouth or your nose to inhale, maybe both. Just get as much air in as you can.
Don’t fully exhale, just exhale naturally.
Breathing in as powerfully as you can, but only exhaling the normal amount. You can try to find a rhythm to your breathing.
This is your last chance to get air and oxygen in. Go for it!
After exhaling fully, hold your breath. Just relax and be calm. What’s mind blowing is many people can hold their exhaled breath for 30 seconds to a minute on their first try.
It’s okay to move around a little bit, to get that breath into every orifice of your lungs.
You’ll find that you can hold your breath longer each time.
Did you try it?! Be sure to post a note in the comments about how it made you feel. It makes many people feel warm, tingly, and giddy. Did you hangover symptoms abate?
The Wim Hof Method is a powerful breathing technique for making you feel better, and there’s a ton of science behind it. Wim also just published an amazing book aptly named The Wim Hof Method – which is a great read.
I’ve been doing the Wim Hof Method for over five years and it’s changed my life. It’s connected me with myself, reduced anxiety, brought more love and energy into my life and more. Please try it, and don’t forget to post about your experience with the WHB in the comments.
