The rating is the Breath Honesty Scale: how much the evidence actually supports a technique, from 5 (Solid) to 1 (Unsupported). Pieces marked in development are being written to the full EYANA standard, with primary citations and a contraindication check.

EYANA is health education, not medical advice. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace your physician, and nothing here is a reason to start, stop, or change any medication or treatment. If you have a heart or lung condition, read the Mogire Contraindication Framework first and talk to your doctor. If you have chest pain, fainting, or a racing heart that will not settle, seek medical care.
