Third: the specific method of abdominal breathing is: the patient lies on his back, the muscles are relaxed, the stomach is swollen when he inhales, and the abdominal wall is pressed when he exhales, so that the gas in the lung can be fully eliminated and the residual waste gas can be reduced. Using this method, we try to make the breathing process inhale more oxygen and exhale a lot of waste gas, so as to meet the physiological needs of the body. This method is practiced twice a day, 5-15 minutes each time. Practice slowly, rhythmically, evenly and quietly, and persist for several months to form a habit.
