"the technique nvolves taking five deep breaths, and each time holding that breath for five seconds.
On the sixth deep breath, take it in and do a big cough while covering your mouth, and repeat twice.
Dr Munshi said: 'While you have an active infection you need to be getting a good amount of air into the bases of your lungs. The only way you are going to do that is by having a technique.'
After doing the cycle twice, the doctor advises viewers to lay flat on their front with a pillow to support them and to take deeper breaths for the next ten minutes.
He said: 'The majority of your lung is on your back, not on the front. By lying on your back your closing off more of the smaller airways and this is not good during a period of infection"
"JK Rowling shared a video of Dr Sarfaraz Munshi, who works at Queen's Hospital
He said the practice is the 'only way' to get oxygen deep into the lungs
He also cautioned patients against lying on their back, restricting breathing
Getting enough oxygen into the lungs is important to avoid deterioration
Rowling said it aided her recovery from a suspected case of the coronavirus"
" dr Sarfaraz Munshi, who works at Queen's Hospital in Romford, said the practice is used on intensive care patients but can help anyone fight off infection.
A breathing technique is the 'only way' to get oxygen deep into the lungs which is important to avoid deterioration, Dr Munshi said. He also cautioned patients against lying on their backs because it reduces lung capacity and closes the airways. "
" dr Munshi said: 'While you have an active infection you need to be getting a good amount of air into the bases of your lungs.
'The only way you are going to do that is by having a technique.
'I want you guys to start doing this if you have the infection right from the beginning, if you want to do it before you even pick up the infection, good idea.'"
