Practised correctly, breath regulation destroys all disease; practised wrongly, it gives rise to all disease.

We include this verse precisely because it is a strong claim, and it belongs on the page with its second half attached. The text itself makes the promise conditional and pairs it with an equal warning.

Our position is unchanged by it: breath practices are worth doing and are not medicine. Nothing on this site claims a practice treats or cures a disease.

The first half is quoted constantly in marketing, without the second half. Read whole, the verse is a caution about doing breath work badly — which is why the previous verses insist on a teacher.
