If you went to his doctor and asked him or her about asthma prevention, advice you could get would be to "avoid triggers. In fact advice, that's good. People with asthma should try to keep their immediate environment as free as possible of the elements that often trigger an asthma attack. Without But prevention of asthma has proven to be durable with the Buteyko breathing method.
There are many things that cause asthma and vary among individuals. A study published in September 2009 of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology found a link between changes in climate and the exacerbation of asthma in children. The study's lead author, Nana A. Mireku MD, reported "a strong relationship between temperature and humidity fluctuations with exacerbations of asthma child, but not the barometric pressure. "This finding probably is not news to those suffering from asthma and know that when it gets hot and humid, or even suddenly dry and windy, asthma takes a turn for the worse.
Prevention strategies for asthma, such as the use hypoallergenic bedding and removing carpets and curtains, are one thing, but how can we change the climate? We can not, obviously, and by learning a better breathing pattern, probably not needed.
The Buteyko method has been studied in six clinical trials and has proven an effective strategy for preventing asthma. The Buteyko method is based on the theory that hyperventilation chronic breathing or leads to asthma in those who are susceptible. People with asthma are known to hyperventilation, even when not having an episode sharp, and hyperventilation leads to a reduction in the blood and alveolar carbon dioxide. Of low carbon dioxide (hypocapnia) is a known cause of bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways).
Along with bronchconstriction, Asthmatics have inflamed airways, and the Buteyko theory provides inflammation and mucus formation typical of asthma is the body's way of preventing further loss of carbon dioxide. This is a protection mechanism to reverse or avoid hyperventilation rather than systemic implications for the body.
The Buteyko method is about learning to breathe less and reverse chronic hyperventilation. It is not difficult to learn and results in terms of supporting the prevention of asthma have proved to be the best in the six trials have taken place to date. The Mayo Clinic believes that breathing exercises as Buteyko, to be one of the most promising complementary therapies to control asthma. The states of the Mayo Clinic website that "breathing exercises can improve their quality of life, help reduce asthma symptoms and reduce the amount of medication needed to control their asthma. "
There Buteyko medical certificates worldwide, as well as books and DVDs on the method, and these can be found on the Web.
