The brain's cleanse flows through the rhythm of breath

The glymphatic system plays a crucial role in the brain's metabolism by facilitating the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid and the removal of metabolites. It is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in blood pressure and volume due to the rigidity of the skull, which can lead to headaches when blood delivery increases without adequate drainage. Intermittent hypoxia enhances the performance of the glymphatic system by inducing oscillations in blood volume within the brain, resulting in faster clearance of toxins and metabolites. This process also contributes to a meditative state, characterized by improved lymphatic function and instant relief from headaches through changes between hypoxia and hyperoxia.
