The Buteyko Method is a program of
retraining breathing that provides sustained improvement for
those with respiratory conditions. It consists of a series of
safe, simple and effective breathing exercises, which restores
natural patterns in the body systems resulting in dramatically
decreased symptoms along with eliminating the need for medications.
Developed
by Professor Konstantin Buteyko from Russia, after years of scientific
research, the Buteyko method is based
upon the standard medical principals of respiration, the normalization
of breathing and the Bohr Effect. Dr. Buteyko describes
why people hyperventilate. This is a self-perpetuating
cycle which continues until reversed. Learning the
Buteyko method provides people with the knowledge
and skills to get back their health and their life. By following
the program, disorders can be completely reversed, bringing natural
relief. Dr Buteyko was decorated by the state for his contribution
to the Soviet Space program; cosmonauts were able to stay in
space significantly longer after learning the breathing technique.
Athletes are trained in the Buteyko method to
enhance their performance and hospitals use the program as a
first defense against asthma and other respiratory problems.
