RESPeRATE To Lower
Blood Pressure
Introduction
Congratulations on the
purchase of your RESPeRATE,
the first medical device
clinically proven to lower
blood pressure (BP) in an
effective and pleasant way.
This User Manual provides all the information you
need to use RESPeRATE effectively. It will guide you to
therapeutic breathing and a lowering of blood pressure within
a few weeks. Let’s begin lowering blood pressure, one breath
at a time.
Note: RESPeRATE should only be used as part of your
overall health program for achieving goal blood
pressure, as recommended by your doctor.
RESPeRATE can be safely used in conjunction with
medication and lifestyle modifications such as diet
and exercise.

The therapeutic power of breathing
Modern science has only recently confirmed that structured,
therapeutic breathing, performed correctly, can significantly
lower blood pressure. The therapeutic power of breathing
has been known for centuries and is used predominantly in
relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga.
Effortless
therapeutic breathing can be difficult to perform
on your own
effectively without years of training and individualized coaching.
RESPeRATE makes therapeutic paced breathing easy to do on
your own.
Breathing with RESPeRATE makes
the difference
RESPeRATE’s patented “Interactive Paced Breathing” technology,
ingeniously takes advantage of the body’s natural tendency
to follow external rhythms. Composed of a Breathing Sensor,
a computerized unit and headphones, RESPeRATE

automatically analyzes your individual breathing pattern.
It then
creates a personalized melody as it subliminally
paces you to
slower breathing to reach the Therapeutic
Breathing Zone of
less than 10 breaths per minute.
The physiological result? The
muscles surrounding the small
blood vessels in your body dilate
and relax. Blood is allowed to
flow more freely, and pressure is
significantly lowered. After each
exercise with RESPeRATE, your
breathing returns to its normal
rate and pattern. Nevertheless, the beneficial effect on blood
pressure will accumulate.
To achieve best results
Create a relaxing environment for your RESPeRATE
sessions. Sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room
where there are minimal distractions.
“Therapeutic breathing” occurs when you breathe
slower than 10 breaths per minute without an effort.
Breathe lightly and naturally without force or tension.
Your goal is to log at least 10 minutes of slow
therapeutic breathing per session. With as little as
40 minutes of slow breathing per week, significant
blood pressure lowering. Additional use may provide
even better results. Daily sessions, if possible, are
recommended.

Be patient. As with any physical exercise program, you
can expect to see notable progress within 3-4 weeks.
Continue using RESPeRATE regularly and you will
experience additional, sustained reductions in blood
pressure.
