To be short of breath, wheezing, sneezing and coughing is exhausting.  When allergies and asthma are severe, even sleep is disrupted, not to mention every-day activities such as exercise, school and work.

The Buteyko Method has been trialled many times now for the treatment of asthma, and as a result of these trials, the method now rates a mention in the national asthma guidelines in many countries throughout the world.

Instructors of the Method teach people with these breathing problems specific exercises that help to eliminate the acute symptoms, and as their automatic breathing pattern gradually changes back to the calm and satisfying pattern that healthy adults usually have, these specific exercises are seldom required again.
