The Times OnLine - A Good Wheeze |
||
| Could the way you breathe make you ill? While scientists argue, a new device is claimed to help. We’ve all heard of hyperventilation, a condition linked with panic attacks, involving very fast breathing and a dramatic loss of carbon dioxide, the gas that we normally breathe out. This leads to hypocapnia (loss of carbon dioxide), and the standard treatment is to breathe into a paper bag, which gets some of the missing carbon dioxide back into the lungs.... |

Living Magazine - Buteyko: Breathe through your Nose for a Healthier
Body & Mind |
||
| "Breathing is such a regular, involuntary process
that usually you do not pay attention to it unless you develop a problem
such as asthma, allergies or anxiety attacks. However, breathing properly
is as fundamental to your health as proper nutrition and physical exercise.
A multitude of factors can cause you to breathe inappropriately. These
include diet, drugs, emotions, environmental pollutants, illness, injury,
financial concerns and even mannerisms. “Improper breathing is a
common cause of ill health,” says alternative health guru Dr. Andrew
Weil.” |

Journal of Therapy and Rehabilitation - Buteyko: A Useful Tool
in the Management of Asthma |
||
| Medical management of asthma focuses on drugs which,
although effective, are costly and produce side-effects. Recent evidence
suggests a role for breathing interventions that reduce total ventilation,
such as the Buteyko method, which has strong similarities to techniques
already used by therapists to manage hyperventilation. |

Breathe through your Nose for a Healthier Body & Mind |

| "While mainstream treatments try to "control" asthma
by throwing bronchodilators and steroids at the symptoms, an alternative
therapy developed by a Russian doctor has actually eliminated the cause
of asthma in over 90 percent of patients. For the 17 million Americans
suffering with asthma, this may finally provide them with true relief.” |
