Breathing and Adrenaline
Rapid deliberate breathing, often linked to Tummo and Wim's techniques, triggers adrenaline release, enhancing alertness and stress response. Engaging in this breathing pattern or exposing oneself to cold water activates the body's fight-or-flight mechanism, which can bolster immunity. Understanding these physiological responses can empower individuals to manage anxiety and stress more effectively.In this clip

Is it accurate to say that "Breathwork like Wim Hof breathing can replicate some of the benefits of oxygen therapy, albeit through different mechanisms. Wim Hof breathing involves cycles of deep, vigorous breaths, followed by breath holds, repeated several times. It significantly increases the adrenaline and oxygen levels in your blood, which not only increases energy, alertness, and physical & cognitive performance but can also: activate the immune system, which can improve overall health resilience, and help you build resilience against stress. Wim Hof breathing is not a direct replacement for oxygen therapy but a nice free alternative. Wim Hof, the guy who created this form of breathwork, has used it to achieve insane physical feats like climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing only shorts."
