Breathwork for Beginners: How to Use Air as Medicine
Air is more than oxygen. Learn how conscious breathing practices can transform your health, energy, and mental clarity.
Most people breathe 12–20 times per minute without thinking about it. That’s 17,000–29,000 breaths per day on autopilot.
Conscious breathwork changes everything. When you control your breath, you control your nervous system. You can shift from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest in minutes.
Start with box breathing: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Do this for 5 minutes and notice the shift.
The Alchemoss Elixir — our Air phase product — is designed to support this practice. Colloidal silver and turmeric clear the airways while ginger and black pepper increase oxygen uptake.
Air is the third element for a reason. You clear first (Water), build second (Fire), and expand last (Air). Breathing is the expansion.
