About this practice
Developed by Dr. Konstantin Buteyko. Focuses on light, gentle nasal breathing to correct chronic over-breathing, linked to anxiety, asthma, and poor sleep.
Benefits
- •Reduces breathlessness
- •May help with asthma symptoms
- •Improves sleep quality
- •Increases CO2 tolerance
The science
Over-breathing depletes blood CO2, which paradoxically reduces oxygen delivery to tissues. Buteyko retrains the breath to be lighter and slower, normalizing CO2 levels.
