How HRV Biofeedback Works

HRV biofeedback trains the baroreflex arc by having users breathe at their resonance frequency (~0.1 Hz / 6 breaths per minute). This creates maximal oscillations in heart rate, strengthening the baroreceptor reflex and improving autonomic nervous system regulation.

Heart rate variability biofeedback: how and why does it work?

Lehrer PM et al.Frontiers in Psychology2014PMID: 25101026

Key Finding: HRV biofeedback at resonance frequency (0.1 Hz) strengthens baroreflex, improves autonomic function, and reduces symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
