The Buteyko Method
Topic Info
Sasha and Thomas Yakovlev-Fredricksen join Dr. DeSilva to explain that, put simply, the Buteyko breathing techniques help a person quickly normalize CO2 levels in the lungs, causing the walls of the bronchioles to relax, and opening up the airways. Instead of hyperventilating, which is what asthmatics do to get more air, the Buteyko Method teaches them how to breathe less. Although it sounds counter-intuitive, when people take in less air, asthma symptoms can be reduced or completely eliminated.
