Dealing with asthma in a holistic way

Adults and children with asthma show a higher breathing rate, basically they are breathing above the healthy norm of 8-12 breaths per minute.  If we are over-breathing or hyperventilating the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in our body gets easily disturbed.
 
Low levels of carbon dioxide have an effect on smooth muscles which are wrapped around airways and blood vessels.  As a result they start to spasm / tighten and the airflow is reduced which creates stress for the person. Wheezing sets in, short of breath or chest tightness can occur.
Healthy breathing is quite
Healthy breathing is calm and rhythmic​

Do you have asthma related breathing difficulties?

  • Asthma symptoms can affect children and adults in many ways and symptoms can restrict daily life activities.
  • Do you struggle to complete daily tasks and activities at work or school?  
  • Are your symptoms holding you back to participate in physical activities?  
  • Is asthma getting in the way of a good night sleep?

​Breathing retraining is suitable for children and adults and is a complimentary method to conventional asthma treatment. Our breathing courses offer a drug free, holistic approach to manage asthma symptoms by adjusting the breathing pattern and guiding it towards a healthy norm.
The method has been tested in various clinical trials where participants were able to reduce
their asthma medication after learning and applying the Buteyko breathing technique.
​
The use of reliever medication was reduced by up to 90%
and inhalation of corticosteroids could be reduced by up to 50%.
