Buteyko breathing method

Founded by Russian doctor Konstantin Buteyko, the method consists of balancing the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen for optimal health.  Progress is measured using the Control Pause.  Exercises in breathing re-education decongest the nose, change from mouth to nasal breathing and reset breathing physiology in the brain stem.  The method is shown to be effective in improving asthma, anxiety/panic disorder, chronic hyperventilation syndrome, sleep apnea and more.  The method has been carried forward by Patrick McKeown and is recognized and taught globally.

Sixteen clinical trials report the Buteyko Method as a successful adjunct therapy for treating asthma.  

Many people suffering from such ailments have a sensitivity to carbon dioxide and therefore, have low levels that exacerbate symptoms.  The Buteyko Method is designed to reset the breathing center in the brainstem to tolerate higher, optimal levels of carbon dioxide resulting in increased circulation, delivery of oxygen to cells, tissue and organs and many more health benefits.
