Product Description
Review
The Buteyko method, a controversial asthma treatment to re-train breathing, claims startling success rates. Its principle is that - contrary to popular supposition and medical doctrine - most of us breathe too deeply. Asthmatics overbreathe more than others, leading to a loss of carbon dioxide which upsets blood chemistry and causes constriction of blood vessels and airways, excess mucus production, dizziness, headache and increased susceptibility to allergic reactions. Both books outline the theory: Stalmatski trained in Russia under its eponymous originator and now works at London's Hale Clinic; he recommends individual tuition to learn the technique. (Kirkus UK)
Product Description
The observations of a Russian doctor, Konstantin Buteyko, suggest that breathing patterns are fundamental to the natural and effective treatment of asthma. Buteyko believes that only shallow breathing, which increases the proportion of carbon dioxide in our systems, enables the body to function efficiently. The first clinical trial of Buteyko's controversial treatment, conducted in Australia, showed that 90 per cent of asthma sufferers were able significantly to reduce their dependence on medication. Alexander Stalmatski worked with Buteyko in Russia, and then practised the Buteyko Technique in Australia and England. In this book he explains the physiology behind the theory, describes how the Buteyko method works, and provides simple self-help exercises for asthma sufferers who wish to treat themselves. This revised edition incorporates recent discoveries and experiences.
