As it involves breathing practice, that&#8217;s why Kapalbhati is also in the Pranayama category. As per some research, about 80% of toxins elements are released with outgoing breath. So, if one practices Kapalbhati regularly then it helps in detoxifying the system of the whole body. It is known as skull-shining breath as practicing it regularly helps in filling your skull with illuminating light.
