Somehow ban area eight to experience relief (7,5)

I believe the answer is:

breathe again

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'experience relief' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'somehow ban area eight' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'ban'+'area'+'eight'='banareaeight'
'banareaeight' with letters rearranged gives 'BREATHE AGAIN'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for breathe again that I've seen before include "Relax after a crisis" , "Return to normality" , "having got a second wind" .)
