It is relatively easy to deal with, using correct breathing techniques, with the following health conditions:
● Asthma
● Chronic fatigue syndrome
● Hypertension (primary)
● Angina pectoris
● Depression
● Panic attacks/anxiety
● Sleeping problems
● sleep apnea
● Sinusitis
● Hay fever
● Allergies
● Bronchitis
● Addictions
● Obesity
● Allergic rhinitis
● Epilepsy
● Seizures
● Eczema
● and some other common problems and concerns.
All Russian and Western medical evidence indicates that people with these problems are chronic hyperventilators. Normalization of breathing results in the elimination of disease symptoms, no need for medication and improved quality of life. More details about the effects of the Buteyko method are provided in the Clinical effects section.
Many Buteyko breathing teachers provide a money-back guarantee that a typical breathing student will be in 1-2 months symptoms- and medication-free in relation to the above-mentioned conditions. (My additional requirement is that this student should devote 1 hour per day for breathing exercises and 1 hour per day for physical activity with strictly nasal breathing.)
Generally, about 25 s morning CP is sufficient for these effects to come true. However, complete restoration of tissues and normalization of relevant processes in the body requires over 40 s morning CP and is a part of Level 3 “Normal life” course.
