Are you looking for a holistic approach to asthma?
Asthma is described as a periodic and reversible obstruction of the airways in the lungs.
During an asthma attack the body experiences a stress situation manifesting as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. A strong feeling of not getting enough air is present due to airway constriction. This initiates an urge to increase the breathing which in turn aggravates the asthma spasm even more.
Hunger for air results in stress/panic and the need to breathe deeper becomes stronger. This will be the moment when you reach for your asthma medication hoping it will bring fast relieve and you are able to breathe again.

Buteyko Breathing Method
Learning the Buteyko breathing method offers a drug free, holistic approach to manage asthma symptoms by adjusting your breathing pattern and guiding your breathing towards a healthy norm. Clinical trials show that participants who learned the Buteyko breathing technique were able to reduce their asthma medications.
Shore Natura Health offers breathing retraining workshops which run over a period of six weeks. We teach adults and children (4 years +) the Buteyko technique.
