about buteyko breathing
The Buteyko Breathing Method is a breathing technique developed by Dr. Konstantin Buteyko, a Russian physician, in the 1950s. The method focuses on reduced breathing volume to help regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body. It’s commonly used for conditions like asthma, anxiety, sleep apnea, and overall respiratory health.
Key principals:
-
Nasal Breathing – Breathe through the nose, even during exercise and sleep.
-
Reduced Breathing Volume – Breathe lightly and shallowly to avoid over-breathing (hyperventilation).
-
Control Pause Test – Measures breath-holding time after exhaling to assess breathing efficiency.
-
Relaxation & Awareness – Focus on slow, controlled breathing to maintain balance in oxygen and CO2 levels.
some of many benefits:
-
Helps manage asthma and reduces the need for inhalers.
-
Improves symptoms of sleep apnea and snoring.
-
Can reduce anxiety and panic attacks by calming the nervous system.
-
Supports better endurance and stamina in athletes.
