Brief Summary   According to yogic texts Bhramari Pranayam relieves stress and cerebral tension, increasing the healing capacity of the body. It induces a meditative state by harmonizing the mind and directing the awareness inwards.The vibration of the humming sound creates a soothing effect on the mind and nervous system. Study of previous literature showed there is dearth of work done on the effects of Bhramari Pranayam.
Additionally,according to previous research,women are vulnerable to stress.And women working at workplaces for hours at a stretch are more prone to havig stress.Therefore this study aims to evaluate the effect of Bhramari Pranayam in the management of stress in working women.
