Improving breathing technique by the method of Buteyko. Respiratory gymnastics Buteyko: essence of the method, testimony, exercise complex Respiratory gymnastics in Buteyko

Breathing according to the method of Buteyko. Description of breathing technology.

Input part

Modern medicine has a centuries-old experience. She originates from such famous personalities as Hippocrat and Avicenna. Their contribution to the "piggy bank" of medical theory and practice is huge. Time passed, the descriptions of disease and approach to their treatment have changed. Many illnesses that were considered incurable, changed their status and began to succumb to therapy. But there are diseases in front of which medicine remained powerless: bronchial asthma, increased blood pressure, allergies, angina, etc. At best, doctors simply "sit down" the patient for medicines and achieve temporary relief. Patients are looking for a way out of the situation themselves. The entrance goes all the techniques, traditional and not traditional. To such non-traditional methods of treating chronic and difficult, diseases of the disease is the technique of breathing Buteyko Konstantin Pavlovich. It does not have anything in common with respiratory gymnastics, and is directed only to change the depth of breathing during training.

* Major respiratory and health indicators The object that allows a person to breathe shallow-diaphragm. KP Buteiko formulated the essence of his method as a decrease in respiration to the relaxation of the diaphragm.

Proper breathing in Buteyko is not visible and not heard, only through the nose. Inhale is so small that neither the chest nor the stomach pegs. Breathing is very superficial, the air is lowered to about the clavicle, and below "worth" carbon dioxide. You seem to be sniffing unknown to you, perhaps a poisonous substance. At the same time, the breath lasts 2-3 seconds, exhale 3-4 seconds, and then pause 3-4 seconds, the amount of inhaled air, the less, the better.

And so I will proceed to the beginning of exercise practices.

Sit on the chair, relax, look just above the line of the eyes. Relax a diaphragm (breathing should be small) in the breast a feeling of air shortage appeared. Stay in such a state of 10-15 minutes. If the desire to sigh intensifies, reinforcing a little breathing depth. At the same time breathe as it were as the most tops of the lungs. With proper workout, it will be necessary to first be warm then it will be hot, after 5-7 minutes, the Spirit may appear with any desire to breathe - fade only the relaxation of the diaphragm.

After training, leave this condition, without deepening breathing.
After training, MP should be 1-2 seconds.
Calculation of the CO2 level in the body: when pause, 15 seconds of carbon dioxide is 4-4.5%, with a normal 6.5%, your pause should be 60 seconds. It follows from this that 60: 15 \u003d 4, that is, you breathe deeper than the norm 4 times.

All exercises are performed necessarily with breathing through the nose and without noise. Before performing the complex and after it, control measurements are performed: MP - maximum pause, pulse. Normally, for adults, MPs are satisfactory - 30 seconds, on a good - 60 seconds., Excellent - 90 sec. Pulse on satisfactory - 70 ° C. / min., On well - 60 UD / min. On perfectly - 50 UD / min. For children of middle and senior school ages, MP is normal for 1/3 less, pulse for 10 ice / min. more. For children of preschool and younger school ages MP on 2/3 less, pulse for 20 ° C. / min. more.

Recommended set of exercises

Complex of breathing exercises K.P. Butyko, aimed at the development of the desired breathing, as well as the development of the human ability to delay the breath, both in the breath and exhale, both in a state of rest and during exercise.

1. The upper lung departments work:
   5 seconds inhale, 5 seconds exhale, relaxing the muscles of the chest; 5 seconds pause, do not breathe, are in maximum relaxation. 10 times. (2.5 minutes)
2. Full breath. Diaphragm and chest breathing together.
   7.5 seconds - inhale, starting with a diaphragmal respiratory and ending with breast breathing; 7.5 seconds - exhalation, starting with the upper lungs and ending with the lower departments of the lungs, i.e. diaphragm; 5 seconds - pause. 10 times. (3.5 minutes)
3. Point massage of nose points at the maximum pause. 1 time.
4. Full breathing through the right, then the left half of the nose. 10 times.
5. Stomach pulling.
   Within 7.5 seconds - a complete breath, 7.5 seconds - the maximum exhalation, 5 seconds - pause, holding the abdominal muscles. 10 times. (3.5 minutes)
6. Maximum lung ventilation (MVL).
   We perform 12 rapid maximal breaths and exhalations, i.e. 2.5 seconds - inhale, 2.5 seconds - exhalation, for 1 minute. After MVL, we immediately perform the maximum pause (MP) on exhalation, to the limit. MVL is performed 1 time.
7. Rare breathing. (By level)
   First level:
   1-5 seconds - inhale, 5 seconds - exhale, 5 seconds - pause. It turns out 4 breathing per minute. Perform 1 minute, then, without stopping the breath, the following levels are performed.
   Second level:
   2-5 seconds - inhale, 5 seconds - breathing delay after inhalation, 5 seconds - exhalation, 5 seconds - pause. It turns out 3 breathing per minute. 2 minutes are performed
   Third level:
   3-7.5 seconds - inhale, 7.5 seconds - breathing delay after inhalation, 7.5 seconds - exhalation, 5 seconds - pause. It turns out 2 breathing per minute. 3 minutes runs.
   Fourth:
   4-10 seconds - inhale, 10 seconds - breathing delay after inhalation, 10 seconds - exhalation, 10 seconds - pause. It turns out 1.5 breathing per minute. 4 minutes runs. And so on, who will withstand how much. The rate to bring up to 1 breath per minute.
8. Double breathing retention.
   First, the MP is performed on exhalation, then the maximum delay in the breath. 1 time.
9. MP sitting 3-10 times, MP in walking in place is 3-10 times, MP in running on site 3-10 times, MP during squats. 3-10 times.
10. Surface breathing.
    Sitting in a comfortable position for maximum relaxation, perfect breathing. Gradually reduce the volume of inhalation and exhalation - to invisible breathing or respiration at the nasophaling level. During such breathing, a light shortage of air will appear first, then the average shortage or even strong, indicating that the exercise is performed correctly. You are on surface breathing from 3 to 10 minutes.

All exercises must necessarily with breathing through the nose and without noise. Before performing the complex and after it, control measurements of MP and pulse are carried out,

Perform a set of exercises is preferably on an empty stomach.


At the end stage of breathing training according to the method of K.P. Buteiko, the purification of the entire body is reacted. When the reaction begins, it is impossible to predict. It happens in several tens of minutes, and after a few months of classes. There may be several of them, and maybe there is no one.

On the eve of cleaning, there is a sharp growth of KP * (sometimes for 3-5 seconds), and during cleaning its drop, because the accumulated CO2 is spent during cleaning to restructure all organism systems: intestines, liver, lung, cardiovascular, nervous , bone muscular. Although KP falls during cleaning, it does not fall on average, below the initial level at the beginning of classes. The duration of the reaction is usually from a few minutes to three weeks.

Reactions do not need to be afraid. She must be rejoiced - after all, the body recovers. If it hurt where it was not hurt before, then you just did not feel it, but the disease was. The medications are better not to use, but if you do not even decide to abandon them, then at least in a half share or less from the usual. Heavy patients need control (in diabetes need permanent laboratory control).

The following steps of the purification reaction are detected: CP corresponded - 10,20,30,40,60 seconds.

1. Light 10 seconds. From the body is removed what lies on the surface. Most often, it is observed from the nose, saliva, a liquid chair, a rapid urination, thirst, sweat, flare in a language, a spray. If earlier there were problems with the kidneys and bladder, they may appear. There may be a condition like with flu: chills, temperature, purulent emissions from eyes, nose, weakness or lubrication in the whole body. Appetite is reduced or disappeared. Tortured thirst and there is terrible dryness in the mouth, nose, nasophal.

2. Light 20 seconds. The nose, light, intestines, leather (itching) are reacting, the joints are painful, the spine sores, they will be sick of all former postoperative scars, fractures, places of former injuries, the places of former injections will be seized, all infiltrates will be dissolved after injections ever made you. Exchange processes are partially affected: eczema is sharpened, headaches may appear. Abundant sputum is distinguished. If there were stems, frontitis, the nose was operated on, a large amount of pus, traffic jams, often with blood can be released from the nose. The sense of smell, taste sensations will be restored. There may be stool disorders, vomiting. Some people remain on KP 10-20 seconds for six months or more, because their body is too lined. And to be cleaned, you need to constantly be in the VLGD method. In pulmonary patients, when cleaning, the temperature rises to 41 degrees, but it does not keep in days, jumps up and down. The temperature is not to shoot down! It is better to use acetic abolition (for children only). The wet can go not only in pulmonary patients, but also in hypertensive. Maybe hemoptysis. This is rejected by the pulmonary fabric destroyed by bronchoscopy and your oven former cough. On the complete restructuring of the lungs takes 2-3 years. Perestroika helps massage. The liver and heart massage only when running a coward or jumper with a rope of acute emphysema passes after 1-2 weeks. By radiological data, you will receive a positive trend in the lungs. Pictures should be done before the class of VLGD and then every six months.
If there is a dry wet, you need to put banks, mustard pieces, make a massage, increase the reception of the liquid (hot salted water). Behind the sauna (dry pairs), if the pulse is not higher than 70 and there are no heart manifestations.
If there is some skin violations, we definitely visit the bath, do not use soap, just rinse and after the bath roll with castor oil.
Hypertensive and stencardics can be started to go to the bath only after reaching a stable KP within 30-40 seconds and the pulse is not higher than 70. Patients with coronary heart disease must be taken by validol during cardiac failures and during cleaning. Hypertensive may have nasal bleeding. The nose is not tampony, and put the bath with water, put a cold compress on the nose.
From the nose there is a discharge longer than from the lungs. Wash the nose do not need medication, you can
Apply slightly salted water, retracting and releasing it with each nostril in turn.

3. Light 30 seconds. When KP 30 seconds the nervous system reacts, the person cries without a reason, becomes easily excited and irritable. Depression may come, disgust for the activities of the VLGD. This is the so-called psychological cleaning.
In patients with skin diseases, cleaning is manifested in the form of itching, rash, which themselves will disappear without the use of ointments and drugs, but subject to persistent classes by the VLGD method. In patients with thyrotoxicosis - sobs, tears, hypertensive pressure jumps up and down.

4. Light 30-40 seconds. Cleaning is very cardinal: the vessels, the metabolism, intestines, kidneys are rearranged, the neoplasms are resolved, the pressure is normalized. Hypertensive after reaching 40 seconds is no longer hypertensive. All cardiovascular pathologies disappear with a stable KP 42-44 seconds. Astmatic spreads with asthma for 22-24 seconds KP. There is a restructuring of all endocrine functions and systems: the menstrual cycle of the thyroid gland, pituitary glands, adrenal glands, the urinary sphere. Mastopathy exacerbates, pain appear and disorders of the menstrual cycle. When mastopathy does not need any additional effects. Erosions and toxicosis go. People lose overweight. We lose weight and very thin, but after purification, the normal weight is acquired, restoring the missing forms, but already clean, healthy cells.
All exchange disorders, polyarthritis, osteochondrosis are given wild pains on KP 40 seconds. Sand appears in the urine. Stones from gall and blades are departed. At the moment of walking the stone, it is necessary to train hard, move, jump, dance, because during exercise the content of CO2 increases, the channels are expanding and the stone will pass without pain.

It is cleaned by hemorrhoids, there may be bleeding and purulent selection. Varicose veins disappears. A ulcer patient arises short-term pain, vomiting, calm with mucus. There may be intestinal colic, grasp stomach pain, urination is also rapidly and a chair appears. Do not hurry to surgical interventions, you do not need to use any painful. Try from all the symptoms to get rid of enhanced training by the VLGD method.
Normalizes sleep. The need for a dream will be reduced to 4-5 hours per day.

5. Light 60 seconds. Communicably all that was not cleaned in the same phases of purification. It is recommended to provoke the reaction of recovery in any cold illness in combination with violation of life rules (usually in nutrition). At this time, a huge amount of sputum may be released, the most deep sections of the lungs are cleared.

Sometimes during the reaction of recovery, there is a breaking of voice. It can be from the old cough, bronchoscopy. By the way, asthma can begin with voice loss. The first attack of the suffocation is
Laringospasma, larynx swelling. After the recovery reaction, the voice is restored.

Pull the heart, even if there was no complaints about him before. Watering during cleaning brick-red, muddy, with sediment, mucus, silent with bloody discharges, with the smell of drugs. In patients with osteochondrosis, there is a huge number of salts, the urine is white, foaming. Salus in such patients is very unpleasant, it should be spitted in a jar. There may be uterine bleeding.

The reaction mirror is tongue. Normally, it should be pink, wet, clean, without furrows and cracks. Yellow raid - brush the liver, white - gastrointestinal tract. Dry - lack of water in the body. When the language is covered - the patient has disgust for food, in no case cannot force it. It is necessary to drink a lot of water at this time to bring all the slags from the body. By language can be said, cleaning is either a cold illness. As soon as the language becomes pink, clean, wet it means the reaction of recovery on this turn. If the pulse during the cleaning period is more than 100 shots, do not grab the inhaler. It is better to help yourself for 1-2 days by the reception of that hormonal medicine that helped you earlier - about half of the maximum dose you ever received. Then, gradually training breathing, leave the hormone reception. Do not be aspicured by the reception of the hormonal drug - it reduces breathing, the same. And this is the most harmless of all drugs taken by asthmatics.

Follow the following to facilitate the cleaning period:

1. Do not throw the method, follow the weak degree of rejection itself with a relaxation reduction of breathing. The main task is not to breathe, keep it, not to take positions disheveled in deep breathing.
2. Take hot shower, seated bath (only hips in water), visit the sauna. It's all during the chills, if there is no temperature and allows the heart.
3. Take more hot salted water. Do not forget to take an ordinary cook salt during cleaning. Often weakness happens due to the lack of salt. This salt has nothing to do with the deposition of "salts" in the spine.
4. Do not eat forcibly, do not distract the organism from your own work - cleansing.
5. You can put banks, mustard pieces, make a massage.
6. In no case learn: Sit or move around the room, but it is better on the street, in the fresh air. During cleaning, take honey, dental powder (washed). White clay - 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. They will pass the intestinal transit and collect all the poisons.
7. If a strong grapple-shaped pain in the intestines appear during cleaning or stabbing heart pains, then you need to help yourself a validol and strain breathing hard.
8. Add 2-3 drops to the day of the iodide potassium solution.
9. Try to suppress cough with shallow breathing. No cough is easier to move wet.
10. If the intestine does not work well, make an enema or accept the laxative (sodium sodium sulfate or magnesium, a sheet of Senna, a bark of the crash, jox).
11. Easy during the restructuring requires heat, so do not transfer at this time, we carry vest. Do not be in draft. However, do not overheat - it is impossible to join too. Held thermal procedures, chest massage.
12. If cleaning is in the form of an unbridled cough, then make distracting water procedures - warming up and legs in such hot water, which you can endure. You can massage the collar zone.
13. Do not use sugar, it is better to go to dried fruits. Grapes and tomatoes are bad on the sore liver.
14. If purulent conjunctivitis (purulent emissions from the eyes), then rinse the eyes with a strong solution of green tea, slightly salted.
15. During cleaning, carefully follow the state of the oral cavity, constantly cozy in the infusion of herbs, the language must be cleaned from the spoon.

at all - Control pause(KP) I. Maximum pause(MP).
KPthis breathing delay made after ordinary normal exhalation. The delay is made to the first higher desire to breathe. The time of this delay is KP. Before frozen KPit follows 10 minutes to relax. After measuring, neither the depth nor the respiratory rate should not be greater than before the measurement.
MP Includes KP plus some volitional delay. The conditions of measurement are the same as KP. Usually MPabout two times more than KP .

The respiratory gymnastics of Buteyko during asthma is a unique way to eliminate deep breathing, which aims to treat pathology. The effectiveness of the method is scientifically proven. Exercises make it possible to significantly reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life. Thanks to such gymnastics, some patients were able to bring them an unpleasant feeling before.

Butyko K.P. - Famous doctor. In the middle of the 20th century, the scientist made such a conclusion: excessively deep breathing - the cause of the occurrence of ba and other diseases. When the patient deeply inhales and exhales, then a sufficient amount of oxygen does not fall into the body. This is the essence of the method developed by scientists.

Complete breathing increases the volume of carbon dioxide contained in the blood. Oxygen starvation occurs, because of this, the exchange proceeds fails. There is a spasm of vessels, bronchi. The body tries to restore natural work.

Thus, the basis of the gymnastics developed by Buteyko was the following conclusion: it is necessary to breathe superficially, and to saturate blood with carbon dioxide and removal of spasms in the way of breathing, interruptions should be taken between breathams longer. The scientist suggested exercises that contribute to the expansion of blood vessels. Thanks to them, it is possible to achieve the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Improves metabolism.

Attention! It is important to comply with such rules: do not breathe mouth, try to completely relax, periodically measure the pulse.

The second session can be carried out 90 minutes after rest. It is important to straighten your shoulders and align the breath. Inhale should be done only after the appearance of the impulse of air.

Butyko method has such features:

• allows you to get the skills to slow the breath by relaxation;
• teaches no allow;
• allows you to refuse dependency (hormonal or drug).

Indications and contraindications

The respiratory gymnastics of Buteyko at bronchial asthma is shown in the following cases:

• regular colds;
• epilepsy;
• protracted rhinitis;
• pneumonia;
• hymorite;
• various diseases of the respiratory organs;
• excess weight;
• problems with the gastrointestinal;
• frequent dizziness;
• various skin pathologies, including allergies;
• any cough;
• toxicosis;
• convulsions;
• vegeth-dystonic crisis.

You can start studying from a four-year-old age. Next to the small patient must be mom and dad.

Attention! There are contraindications: bleeding (or disease with such a symptom), infection, diabetes mellitus, the presence of implants, exacerbated tonsillitis of chronic form, pathology, in which a person does not realize the essence of the method ,.

Methods of performing gymnastics and types of classes

The bucket exercise complex includes events that are divided into two groups:

• simple;
• with the use of physical exertion (respiratory gymnastics is carried out with movements).

In any case, the basis is a full (inhale, exhale and pause lasts up to 5 seconds) and a limited (inhale lasts 7.5 seconds) breathing.

Before proceeding to perform gymnastic exercises, you need to go through a complete medical examination. Doctor will set the depth of breathing. When deeper breathing is detected, it is adjusted. It is necessary to clearly understand the technique of classes. You can train exclusively on an empty stomach.

Here are some effective exercises.

• I breathe superficially. Inhale, exhale and pauses should last 5 seconds. It is necessary to make breathing with the stomach and breasts.
• Light ventilation. It is necessary in a minute to perform 12 deep breaths-exhale (duration of 5 seconds).
• The maximum breathing delay in the sitting position, then make steps in place and then sit down. So take 3-10 times. After you need to relax. Classes should be carried out in the morning and in the evening. The number of classes can be reduced only when the test pause increases.

Gymnastics efficiency and possible consequences

Respiratory gymnastics with exogenous, endogenous and mixed bronchial asthma in Buteyko allows:

• stop a strong cough;
• in a couple of minutes to eliminate the attacks of choking;
• reach long;
• improve nasal breathing;
• eliminate the symptoms of an allergic reaction;
• restore metabolism.

The main effect during asthma from the exercises made by the method of Buteyko becomes the depth of breathing. It is extremely close to healthy: 2-3 seconds inhale, 3-4 seconds of the exhalation and 3-4 seconds occupies a pause.

To analyze efficiency, it is necessary to perform a control delay in respiration in the morning. Due to this, it will be possible to evaluate success. Thirty-ninety seconds - the norm of the limit pause.

The number of procedures, after which the patient becomes easier, no one can determine if it is individually. Relief may occur after 5 sessions, and after 10. It is necessary to focus on personal well-being.

After classes, fear may arise, the feeling of the lack of air, the increase in respiration, pain. The following may also occur:

• a lot of sputum will be departed;
• diarrhea may occur;
• there will be a deterioration in general well-being;
• may increase body temperature;
• disappear appetite.

This is the normal response of the body. You do not need to stop doing. The main thing is to continue to act correctly.

At first, after performing the exercise, the aggravation of chronic pathologies of lungs can happen, including Ba. For this reason, it is recommended to work under the control of a medical worker.

Attention! With a significant deterioration of well-being, you need to immediately contact.

It is impossible to be limited to respiratory gymnastics. It is important to fundamentally change the lifestyle: to revise the day of the day and, regularly engage in solvable sports, completely refuse and. Treatment should be comprehensively. It is important to comply with all the recommendations of the doctor.

Attention! With BA, such factors such as chronic infections, smoking, lack of sleep, stressful situations, insufficient activity, regular use of tea and coffee, diet with a large number of animals and coffee, diet with a large number of animal fats can be degraded.

The human body is a complex biochemical laboratory. We unconsciously interfere with its work, using refined, stuffed chemistry food, experiencing constant stress, inhaling poisoned air. Dr. Buteyko fishery to these risks also improper breathing. In his opinion, the violation of the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body creates the basis for the development of many heavy diseases. Respiratory gymnastics developed by them helps to restore this equilibrium and significantly alleviate the condition of severely ill patients.

Konstantin Pavlovich Butyko is a physiologist, a candidate of medical sciences, a practitioner doctor and researcher. Immediately after the end of the institute and the beginning of medical practice, at the beginning of the 50s, K. P. Buteyko first tried the effect of superficial breathing on himself during the attack of malignant hypertension. The disease overtook him by a very young man. And on the irony of fate it was exactly the pathology, which he was studying. Doctors gave him a bad forecast, but contrary to this Dr. Buteyko lived 80 years in many respects thanks to the technique developed by him.

For almost 30 years, he devoted an in-depth study of the phenomenon of surface respiration and attempts to officially implement its technique into the clinical practice. The years of his work in the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Cardiology were devoted to this. This method of Buteyko called the Volga Elimination of Deep Breath (VLGD).

Brief excursion to physiology

From school lessons we made a hardware conviction that without oxygen, life is impossible, but the product of its processing in the form of carbon dioxide is waste, which are emitted from the body with exhaled air. In its methodology, K. P. Buteyko argued that this is not the case, considering carbon dioxide is lifeless for the body.

A scientist argued that most of the ailments are a consequence of too deep breathing overflowing with oxygen. And its surplus in the lungs lead to a loss of too much carbon dioxide. Why did Buteyko attach such importance to carbon dioxide? It is appropriate to say about her role in biochemical processes. It affects many of them:

• the production of hormones and their physiological efficiency;
• functioning of the nervous system;
• the intensity of the work of digestive glands;
• saturation of oxygen tissues;
• maintain a stable acid alkaline balance.

And finally, carbon dioxide controls the breath of man, sending the brain the signal about the need to make the next breath. Carbon dioxide is a powerful vasodilator, that is, it relaxes the walls of the vessels, allowing to increase blood flow. If the carbon dioxide level decreases, the narrowing of the vessels and tissues and the organs are not allowed to be oxygen.

Methods K.P. Butyko teaches managing his own breathing. According to the scientist, breathing superficially and infrequently, a person supports the optimal balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide, getting rid of the serious manifestations of the disease or generally healing from her.

Buteyko test for determining the level of health

Dr. Butyko developed a test to determine the state of human health. It was determined by measuring the duration of the control and maximum pause in respiration. At the same time, an analysis of alveolar air was carried out on the content of carbon dioxide and measurement of the pulse rate. The results he cut into the table. According to it, anyone can determine how well it is.

To hold the sample to the edge of the chair. The posture must be correct, hands on the knees.

Break in breathing, which does not cause uncomfortable sensations, is called a control pause (KP). The maximum pause (MP) is measured in the same way, but breathing is delayed longer, while you can endure the lack of air. Extend the delay will help muscle tension or simple walking.

Table: Determining the level of health by the method of Buteyko

You can do the test yourself. It is conducted on an empty stomach (preferably in the morning or in the evening before bedtime), since the process of digestion of food can distort the result.

Who is shown to training a shallow breath

Official medicine recognizes the effectiveness of the method only in the treatment of bronchial asthma. The clinical trials of the respiratory gymnastics of Buteyko (in 1968 and 1981) in the composition of therapy with the use of drugs and physipesis showed a moderate improvement in the state. The fact that the method works and with other diseases is evidenced by numerous feedback from grateful patients. Diseases in which respiratory gymnastics brings relief:

• hypertension;
• chronic lung diseases (pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema);
• hymorite, rhinitis, adenoids, laryngitis (in particular, laryngospasm);
• various manifestations of allergies;
• obliterating endarteritic;
• endocrine disorders;
• cardiovascular;
• diseases of the kidneys, the central nervous system (in particular, epilepsy), digestive organs.

In his writings and articles K. P. Buteyko argues that his breathing technique relieves overweight by reducing appetit, increases immunity and prevents frequent colds.

Before proceeding with the treatment according to the VLGD method, you must consult with the attending physician.

Contraindications for Gymnastics Buteyko

• insulin-dependent sugar diabetes;
• presence of a graft;
• thrombosis and thrombophlebitis;
• aneurysm;
• pregnancy;
• mental disorders when the patient is not able to understand the essence of the method;
• period of rehabilitation after the operation on the heart;
• chronic angina;
• teeth diseases;
• bleeding.

Conduct classes in severe conditions can be carried out only with the participation of a doctor or specialist in VLGD. This is especially true of the launched forms of hypertension. For the general strengthening of the body and the prevention of diseases can be engaged independently.

How to prepare for classes

To learn how to immediately superficial respiration is difficult, so the author of the methodology has developed special exercises as an introductory part to the main classes. Movement with housing and hands are carried out consistently with breathing. It is necessary to breathe a shallow, through the nose, the diaphragm is relaxed. In the process of doing the exercise, a lung sensation of air deficiency should appear. Before starting the exercise and after graduation, you need to delay your breathing and measure the heart rate.

Exercise number 1.

Walk sitting on a chair, the back should be straight, the shoulders are stripped. The movements will help you breathe superficially.

1. Raise your shoulders on the breath and lower the exhale.
2. Take the shoulders back and closer the blades on the breath, on exhale pull your hands forward.
3. Inhale combines with a slope of the Block body, exhale - with the straightening of the case. Repeat the slope to the other side.
4. Take back the head on the breath, tilt her forward in exhale.
5. In the breath, turn on the case to the right, go back to its original position. Repeat the movement to the left.
6. Do not control the breath, make circular movements shoulders like when rowing.

In the process of performing the body, heat is gradually bottled, the Spirit is performed. Exercise takes no more than 10 minutes.

Exercise number 2.

1. Stand straight, straightening your shoulders and pulling the belly.
2. On the breath. Raise tiptoe and pull hands up.
3. Click in this position and hold your breath for a few seconds.
4. Slowly drop and calmly exhale.

After each lifting make a small respite.

Basic breathing exercises

After preparation, you can proceed to the main exercises. Their execution requires calm, silence and full focus on gymnastics:

1. In the process of breathing, only the upper part of the lungs should be involved. Tie, exhale and pause, the duration of each phase is 5 seconds. The cycle is repeated 10 times.
2. A long breath should take 7.5 seconds. Feel the direction of breathing - the diaphragm should rise to the thoracic department. Exhalation occurs from top to bottom and also lasts 7.5 seconds. After exhalation, take a pause of 5 seconds. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
3. Single breathing for 5 seconds once, at the same time point to the nose back.
4. Follow the second exercise, alternately clamping the right and left nostril. Repeat 10 times for each.
5. Return to the second exercise again. Perform it, pulling and straining the abdominal muscles on the breath. Keep them in a tone until the end of the exhalation. Repeat the cycle 10 times.
6. Make 12 deep and short (no more than 2.5 seconds) inhale and exhale. It ventilate the lungs. At the end of the breath as long as possible.

Respiratory impairment in four levels:

1. Cycle inhale - pause - exhale 5 seconds, then the breathing delay for 5 seconds. Repeat for 2 minutes. Then inhale, exhale, delay for 5 seconds, repeat over 1 minute.
2. Repeat the previous exercise, extinguishing each phase to 7.5 seconds. Performance time - 3 minutes.
3. Double delay exercise. Make exhale, delay your breath, breathe, hold your breath. Made 1 time. Then again inhale, pause, exhalation, breathing delay - each phase for 10 seconds. Performance time - 4 minutes.
4. Respiratory delay from 3 to 10 times in different positions (while driving, sitting sitting).

Complete the complex with the exercise, sitting on a chair and superficially breathing, gradually increasing the time from 1 to 15 minutes. K. P. Butoeko recommended performing a complex 3-4 times a day.

Exercise that will help detain the breath

K.P. Butyko said that physical exercises were well helped by mastering his respiratory gymnastics. They can be done during respiratory exercises, they all require muscle tension:

• head slopes;
• hand breeding to the parties;
• strong focus on the back of the chair or the table;
• strong compressing fists or elastic rings;
• stretched in a tense smile or elongated lips into the tube;
• look up;
• rubbing palms or any other part of the body;
• rotary movement with hand from the elbow;
• sitting on a chair, raising legs on socks.

Exercises as ambulance

Breathing delay exercises are designed not only for long courses. They can be used as ambulance with different painful states.

Remove stress

Get comfortable on the chair and breathe in and exhale. After the exhalation, hold your breath for a few seconds. Another option is to do inhale, delay your breath, then make three sharp exhalations:

• the first - the air is pushed out of his belly;
• the second is an exhalation of the chest;
• the third is from the tops of the lungs.

Make an exercise three times.

Get rid of headaches

Sit down and relax as much as possible. Start breathing short breaths and exhalations. After each exhalation, make a long (as far as possible) pause. After a pause, try to restrain your breath. After a few minutes, the headache will go away.

We liberate nose

With the complete position of the nose, the exercise can not be done. It will help if only one nasal move is breathing. To free it, you need to stop breathing. Close your finger breathable nostril and hold your breath for 3-5 seconds. Repeat so several times.

Recovery indicators

By Buteyko, the body passes several stages of recovery. Each of them is characterized by a certain level of carbon dioxide in the lungs - 28 mm of mercury pillar, 32 mm, 39 mm and 46 mm. You can trace these frontiers alone by measuring the duration of the maximum pause and correlating it with the Buteyko table. The unpleasant consequences of breathing exercises Dr. Buteyko considered the reverse course of the disease and called their precursors of recovery:

• the aggravation of the disease (often has asthmatics);
• head, gastric, articular and muscle pain;
• the appearance of panic and feelings of fear;
• weakness or, on the contrary, nervous excitement;
• decline in appetite;
• student breathing, feeling of lack of air, dizziness.

The reaction to recovery may be frightened by the patient, although Dr. Buteyko considered it normal and called the purification of the body from slags. What can happen in the body:

1. Cleansing is accompanied by dyspecical phenomena in the form of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sweat release, the formation of sputum in the respiratory tract, staining urine into the reddish color. Isolation smells of drugs. They begin to fall out, and skin flakes. At this stage, the doctor takes away from several hours to several weeks. Although a third of patients do without painful manifestations.
2. The temperature rises to 40 ° C, and it is not recommended to reduce it. Dr. Buteyko's strong headache explained the disadvantage of minerals - potassium, calcium and sodium. In this regard, he recommended to consume more products with the content of these elements.

Therapeutic exercises Dr. Buteyko recommends to do for three months continuously. Although the body's reaction is individual, and for each patient the need for the duration of the course is different. If the method is used as a unplugging agent, a person feels improved well-being after the start of classes.

Opinion doctors

<…> The method of volitional limitation of pulmonary ventilation and breathing delay in exhalation is not shown to everyone. Therefore, if you want to start training, go through a thorough examination. And if after him the doctor will appoint you breathing exercises, the first 2-3 classes need to be conducted under his control. The doctor will look, whether you do the exercises correctly, as your body responds to the volitional retention. And only after you master breathing exercises, the doctor will allow you to do at home yourself. But no later than in two weeks it is necessary to come back to it. Medical control in the occupation of breathing exercises in Buteyko is obligatory! Otherwise, you risk themselves cruelly punished. Suddenly, or gradually your condition can significantly worsen. And in the suffering severe form of bronchial asthma, the danger of developing the attack of choking is increasing, which will require immediate medical care.

Respiratory practices are known to us since ancient times. Yoga, Tibetan monks, Fridians, divers, lovers of oriental martial arts actively practice exercises that allow you to control the breath. Such practices are well strengthened immunity and help to get rid of various diseases. The effectiveness of breathing exercises has long been proven, and no one disputes in the modern world.

Such practitioners include yoga breathing, bodyflex, meditative respiratory techniques, etc. Today, numerous Internet publications, print media, television actively popularize respiratory gymnastics by the Buteyko method. The authors of articles, as if under the car, tell about incredible wonders that this technique creates. Only contraindications and the number of diseases that the system treats is changing. Someone claims that these are more than 300 diseases, someone stops on more modest figures. Let's see together where the truth is here, and where is a lie.

The essence of the technique. Myths and reality.

Konstantin Buteyko argued that people breathe not correctly: too often and deep. This leads to the hyperventilation of the lungs. The body is oversaturated with oxygen, and gets very serious poisoning. In the proof of its theory, the scientist leads the fact that the amount of air that inhales asthmatic, at times exceeds the average indicators. At the same time, the level of carbon dioxide in the body remains low. Thus, oxygen poisons the human body.

Oxygen poisoning really exists. This concerns technical (deep-water) divers. The fact is that at a depth of more than 60 meters, the air, which breathes aqualant, begins to have a toxic effect. It is for this reason that a certain percentage of oxygen in the respiratory mixture for such dives is replaced by helium. The main signs of oxygen poisoning are ringing in the ears, tunnel vision, cramps, loss of consciousness. Such poisoning is treated simply: the victim raised a few meters to the top, and all the symptoms pass. It is dangerous such a state only if the scuba dlya dropped the breathing apparatus from the mouth. To achieve such poisoning is on earth - it is impossible. Moreover, there are diseases that are treated exclusively a barocamera. Where a person breathes with oxygen under high pressure. Such therapy is prescribed to people with vascular brain problems, some autoimmune diseases, etc. That is, we will exclude with oxygen poisoning with oxygen because of deep breathing.

We now turn to carbon dioxide. What this is generally so, what role this element plays in our body. Carbon dioxide in the human body appears in the process of breathing. At the first stage, fresh portion of oxygen falls into the lungs. It is lowered in the alveoli, and through the network of blood vessels falls into the blood, which spreads oxygen over the body. Organs and fabrics take the element necessary for living, and direct it for processing (slow burning). The product of such recycling becomes carbon dioxide. It takes blood on the reverse circle, delivers into the lungs and this element comes out of the body in exhalation. That is, carbon dioxide is nothing more than a processing product. However, this item cannot be called useless. It serves as a sensor that signals our brain that it is time to make the next breath. As well as the normal level of carbon dioxide supports the correct acid-alkaline balance of the body. Therefore, while the breath of a person is slow, he does not experience any problems.

What happens in the process of so-called lung hyperventilation? If you argue logically, the more oxygen falls into the alveoli, the higher the carbon dioxide should be produced. But, consider an example with a panic attack. During an attack, a person makes frequent breaths, trying to capture as much air as possible. As a rule, such breathing is very superficial. And the oxygen part remains in the upper part of the lungs, not reaching the alveoli. Thus, part of the air does not fall into the blood, but remains upstairs. The amount of oxygen in the patient rises, and the level of carbon dioxide, on the contrary, decreases. Such an imbalance leads to health problems.

Do not forget that carbon dioxide is a decay product. Its excessive amounts in the body leads to strong headaches, fatigue, bad well-being.

View of modern medicine on Budyko's breathing system

To date, clinical studies have confirmed the effectiveness of respiratory gymnastics in Buteyko only in the treatment of asthma and allergies in adults (manifestations related to respiratory impairment). Nevertheless, many note the effectiveness of this method with the panic states and treatment of depression. Due to what does it work? It's simple, so the patient learns to control their breathing. Breathing in Buteyko is quite difficult to fulfill, and requires strength and concentration. This allows a volitional way to control the starting attack of asthma, or distract from depressive thoughts.

In many cases, breathing practices help with the prevention of various respiratory diseases. The breathing method in Buteyko can also be attributed to such practices.

Contraindications and cautions

Respiratory gymnastics according to the method of Buteyko is not shown to everyone. It is not recommended for people, with the following contraindications:

1. Various mental disorders.
2. Blowing brain nutrition (with such diseases High levels of carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen can lead to irreversible damage to the cerebral cortex)
3. Leaning to bleeding
4. Aneurysm
5. Diabetes
6. Cardiovascular diseases - vascular system
7. Infectious diseases in acute stage
8. Pregnancy period (remember that mom and baby are connected with one circulatory system. The lack of oxygen can lead to serious disorders in the development of the fetus)

Numerous sites describing respiratory gymnastics in Buteyko are recommended to completely abandon medication therapy and additional procedures. This is categorically impossible to do this. Remember that the therapeutic effect of this method is clinically proven only in the case of the treatment of bronchial asthma. If we are talking about the treatment of chronic disease, oncology, etc., this technique can only be used with the permission of the attending physician

Preparatory exercises

And now, we turn directly to the gymnastics in Buteyko. In order to start performing the main exercises, it is necessary to prepare an organism:

1. Go to superficial breath
2. Learn to do inhale only when the feeling of light shortage comes
3. Do inhale longer in time than exhaust

In order to master these skills, K. Buteyko has developed several preparatory exercises.

Exercise 1. It is called "rower on kayak". All movements are performed parallel to breathing.

1. On the breath - you need to raise my shoulders, in exhalation - omit.
2. On the breath - we take the shoulders back, connecting the blades, on exhale - I will take ahead.
3. On the breath - the slope in one direction, in exhalation - we return to its original position. Repeat movement in the opposite direction.
4. On the breath - we tilt your head back, in exhale - ahead.
5. To inhale - turn the case to the right, exhausted at the initial position. We repeat the movement to the other side.
6. Final movement - circular movements shoulders that mimic the row.

The last movement is performed without respiratory control. The total exercise time takes 6 to 10 minutes.

Exercise 2. Soldier

Source position: you need to get up smoothly, lifting your head and straighten your chest. The belly is drawn, the shoulders are deployed. In the breath slowly climb the socks, delay their breath for a few seconds and slowly go down. Make an unhappy breath.

After each exercise, it is necessary to relax and relax.

Proper breathing in the respiratory system Buteyko

Proper breathing is the basis of respiratory gymnastics by the method of Buteyko. A complex of three exercises will help to master the correct technique of breathing. With their help, you can easily and quickly learn a surface breathing.

Exercise 1.

It is necessary to sit comfortably and for 10 to 15 minutes to breathe briefly. At the same time, the author of the exercise recommends that by all the power to suppress the desire to take a deep breath.

Exercise 2.

The second exercise is performed lying on the stomach. The chin is pressed to the floor. In such a posture, it is necessary to hold your breath, increase the pressure on the floor of the chin. To avoid injuries, under the chin you can put a roller or palm.

Exercise 3.

We make a deep breath, delay your breath on as much as possible. Exhalation is done through the mouth.

Surface breathing training

Such training can be carried out anywhere. They consist of a breath delay for the highest possible time. The first time the breathing delay is being done in one place, the second time it needs to be done in motion (walk around the room).

The final stage of training will be a surface rapid breathing. The execution time of this exercise from 1 o 15 minutes. Such workouts are advised to spend from daily, up to 4 times a day. This will help achieve maximum results.

Exercises for the strengthening of the body

In addition to therapeutic purposes, the respiratory gymnastics Buteyko is recommended to strengthen the body and the prevention of various respiratory diseases. To do this, it is enough to study a few not difficult exercises that we will tell below, and repeat and twice a day. The followers of this technique argue that the result can be felt within a week of daily workouts.

Breath in rhythm with long exhalation

The essence of this exercise is very simple: the exhalation should be longer inhale. It is best to do this at the expense. For example, inhale is done on account 1 - 2. Exhaust will be longer and calm on 1 - 4. Such breathing is well relieved by psychological tension.

Uniform breathing with active exhalation

Another popular exercise in the Budeyko breathing system. You need to take a deep breath with your nose and breathe mouth. The action is very similar to the stuffing of the candle in the birthday cake. You need to repeat it 4 times in a row. After that it is recommended to take a break and break to other exercises.

Stages of recovery

How is the recovery? Or how to understand that the disease retreats? In most methods of treating certain diseases, a sign of recovery is to improve well-being. The bright symptoms of the disease are retreating, pain, fatigue, etc. But, with the method of Buteyko, things are somewhat different. The author himself argues that all the unpleasant sensations that a person is experiencing after the Buteyko system is suggested that the process of recovery began. What will have to face:

1. The aggravation of chronic diseases
2. Nervous disorders
3. Sleep disturbance
4. Increase body temperature
5. Frequent headaches and migraines
6. Painfulness in the field of lungs

K. Butyko argued that these symptoms are bright signs of recovery. Their durability depends on the individual characteristics of a particular person. In most sources, it is said that when a person can delay his breath for 60 seconds, the acute manifestation of such ailments passes. But, modern doctors explain such an action somewhat differently.

All listed side effects are not an indicator of recovery, but by classic symptoms of excess carbon dioxide in the body. Indeed, with long-term workouts, symptoms can decrease. This is due to the natural adaptive mechanisms of the body. Which of these versions trust, solve only you.

Stuffy nose

If you are sick, and the nose is fully laid, the exercises on the respiratory system can not be exercised. But, in fact, if one nostril is laid, it can be easily corrected. To do this, it is necessary to make the following actions: close the breathing nostril and stop the breath for a few seconds. After several repetitions, the problem of the laid nose will be solved.

Headache

Headaches are familiar to everyone. Pleasant in this little. Especially for people who suffer from migraines. Butyko in such cases advised to switch to short surface breathing. But, remember that the high level of carbon dioxide in the body becomes the cause of headaches, migraine and poor well-being. It will be much safer and more efficient to make several classic breathing exercises from yoga.

Treatment of bronchial asthma

As mentioned above, some efficiency of asthma treatment on the Buteyko system was proved experimentally. True, the doctors argue that success can be achieved only in the early stages of the disease. Including this technique to the course of treatment, should not be abandoned by classical treatment. Moreover, the whole process should pass under the supervision of a specialist. Remember that every person is individual. What comes to one does not always work on the other.

Fears and anxiety

In matters of the fight against anxiety, fears, an increased level of concern, the respiratory system in Buteyko showed itself really effectively. Due to their breathing control, people who suffer from such a little bit really get some relief or get rid of such problems at all. Thanks to the need to focus on the task.

Breathing should be measured. In order to quickly remove the tension, it is enough to make three deep respiratory cycles: inhale - breathing delay - full exhalation. This will be enough to reduce the level of adrenaline and cortisol in the blood.

Fatigue

Getting rid of fatigue with the help of respiratory gymnastics, Buteyko also lies in the conduct of several deep respiratory cycles. During the procedure, it is necessary to relax, throw away all negative thoughts from the head and focus on your own feelings. After the first cycle of breathing, the feeling of relaxation and peace will come.

How to get rid of painful sensations during gymnastics

Painful sensations during the breathing in Buteyko deliver a lot of discomfort. Many authors of articles on this subject claim that in order to get rid of painful sensations, it is necessary to learn to breathe correctly. However, it is unlikely to do it right away. The volitional suppression of deep breathing is essentially a methodology that makes changes to the natural biological process of breathing. Painless such changes can not pass. However, after the body gets used to the load, the pain in the field of lungs will significantly decrease and after a while will cease to disturb.

Respiratory gymnast on the Buteyko system thing is quite controversial. On the Internet there are mass of enthusiastic reviews about wonderful healing from cancer, varicose veins, bronchial asthma and other misstain. Check which of these reviews are true, and which is not almost impossible. We cannot argue that this technique is completely useless or dangerous. Any artificial impact on the biological processes of the organism leads to serious changes. What these changes will be, it is very difficult to predict.

Introduction
Breathing spirit

The wise men at all times said: in order to know God, the man should first of all ... learn to breathe! Or rather - improve your breath. Only in this case the person will be able to confidently manage not only in his own words and emotions, but also health and even fate.

Therefore, in the history of humanity, the process of respiration and conscious work with him was paid to all without exception by religious traditions and systems of spiritual practices.

So, Torah tells how God breathed life in Adam, thereby reviving him. It also says that breathing returns to God after the death of man.

In many global cultures, the concept of respiration is also key. After all, in many languages, the words "spirit", "soul" and "breathing" have a general origin. People have long been distinguished by breathing as the main property of all living and animated.

In Chinese philosophy, one of the main categories of "Qi" is defined as "air", "breathing", "Energy". The ancient Chinese believed that "Qi" permeates everything in this world and binds everything among themselves.

In Indian medicine, the concept of "Prana" literally in Sanskrit means "life", "Breathing". And the yoga is confident that Prana permeates the whole universe.

And from ancient Greek mythology in the arsenal of global philosophy, psychology and medicine, the word "Psycha" moved, which is translated as "soul", "Breathing."

The respiratory practices themselves originated many thousand years ago in the East: in India - Pranayama, in China - Qi-Gong, in Central Asia - the Sufi exercise system, in Tibeta - the breathing practices of Buddhism Vajrayana. To the West, all these oriental teachings penetrated only in the twentieth century. And in the XXI, they became a vital necessity.

The fact is that modern civilization has very much changed people. And first of all, we have changed because they have learned to breathe correctly. For comfort, you have to pay a very high price. After all, our health depends on how we breathe.

Civilization diseases

Another 300 years ago, when medicine was not developed, sick people "chose" natural selection. And most people barely lived to mature age, not leaving a sick offspring.

Under these conditions, only a small part of the disease was determined by genetic defects, but most of the diseases were a consequence of the conditions and lifestyles. Only after antibiotics appeared, serious infections were defeated.

Dying steel less. And live longer. But life has changed.

The first fruits of civilization are the emergence of a huge number of harmful products, due to which the human body began to be clogged by toxic concentrates, chemical carcinogens, new food refined products and alcohol. Such changes in human genes were not adapted. And the natural selection stopped working, because medicine well earned. And here there have been new chronic diseases, shortening life. Scientists called them "diseases of civilization." They are developing at first imperceptibly for a person, as the harmful effects of the external and internal environment accumulate. Man is not yet ill, but not healthy. But he could be healthy if the necessary measures would begin in a timely manner. Prevention is of particular importance in the fight against "diseases of civilization."

And one of the most important prevention measures - the ability to breathe correctly. Experts assure: breathing is a reliable barometer of the human body. Even by how often we breathe deeply, you can put an accurate diagnosis of any ailment and assign treatment. And eventually cure not only the body, but also the head. According to scientists, breathing is closely interconnected not only with the state of health, but also with the state of consciousness.

Maybe, breathing not only keeps the soul in the body, but also solves her fate?

Basic instinct

What does it mean to breathe right? A strange question at first glance. After all, each of us daily makes almost 20,000 inhales and exhale. And we absolutely do not think about how they do. Otherwise, the same tragedy occurred with us as with an anecdot hedgehog. Remember? Hedgehog ran through the forest, forgot how to breathe, and died.

Breathe! This basic instinct laid out nature in us. A person is considered born when he will make the first sigh. And the dead - when he leaves the last sigh. And between the beginning and end - only the series of breaths. The same - and with the brothers our smaller.

But everything is breathing in different ways. For example, jellyfish possesses the simplest breathing form. The oxygen dissolved in water is absorbed through their skin, and dissolved carbon dioxide is derived from the same way. And on the insect poulter there are many small holes. Each of these pores is the entrance to the tube called the trachea. It acts the same way as the human respiratory tube, or breathing throat! Thus, insects breathe in the same way as we, with the difference only by the difference that hundreds of breathing tubes can be located on the bastard.

And the pace of breathing, that is, how often we inhale the air, largely depends on the size of the creature itself. The animal is more, the slower it breathes. For example, an elephant is inhaling about 10 times a minute, and the mice is about 200. And with the frequency of breathing, it turns out directly lifetime lifetime: the elephant lives longer than the mouse. And the turtles breathe very slowly and live very long.

Man on average inhales 16 times a minute. But maybe less often - 6-8 times breathing per minute. Or maybe more often - up to 20 times per minute. Depending on the circumstances. Moreover: young children breathe 20-30 times per minute, and infants - 40-60 times!

Above the mystery of uneven respiration, the physician was thinking over yet. The first information and tips on proper breathing were found already on Chinese jade inscriptions, which are dated by the VI century to our era. Ancient sayings teach: "When breathing, it is necessary to act as follows: to hold the breath, it accumulates if it has accumulated, it applies further if it extends further, it becomes calm if it becomes calm, it becomes calm. If we release, it grows when it has grown, you need to compress again. If it is squeezed, it will reach the head of the head. There it puts on his head, puts down. The one who follows this method lives, and who acts on the contrary will die. "

Revolutionary opening of Buteyko

Konstantin Buteyko (1923-2003), a scientist, physiologist, a clinician, in 1952 committed a revolutionary discovery in the field of medicine. He argued that people breathe wrong - very deeply. And it is because of this often and seriously sick.

The scientist found out that, contrary to the generally accepted conviction, deep frequent breathing (and we were always taught: "Belm deeper!") It does not contribute to saturation of oxygen. Sick people inhale more air, which leads - as it does paradoxically sounds - to a decrease in the level of oxygen in body cells. The fact is that the cause of the development of diseases - in hyperventilation (this is intensive breathing, which exceeds the needs of the body in oxygen. - Author.). That is, with deep breaths, the amount of oxygen obtained by a person does not increase, but carbon dioxide becomes less. And its disadvantage leads to the emergence of serious diseases. For example, the volume of light healthy person is 5 liters, and a patient with bronchial asthma is about 10-15 liters.

According to Buteyko, the excessive removal of carbon dioxide from the body leads to the spasms of the bronchi and the vessels of the brain, limbs, intestines, biliary tract. The vessels are narrowed, and therefore oxygen to the cells flows less. In cells, biochemical reactions change, the metabolism is disturbed. Thus, chronic "overeating" oxygen leads to oxygen deficiency.

Konstantin Buteyko claimed: the deeper breathing, the hardest man is sick. What his breathing is more superficial, the more healthier and rustier. Therefore, the respiratory gymnastics Buteyko is a system of recovery of the body. It is aimed at restricting deep breathing and is called "the method of volitional elimination of deep breathing (VLGD)", which allows you to get rid of lung hyperventilation.

"Break's breath leads to the fact that we breathe too much air, and our vessels are narrowed," wrote Butyko. - Healthy breathing - slow, no more than 16 breaths per minute, through the nose, as well as quiet and easy. "

An important rule is to breathe only to the nose. Because only the nose is equipped with a complex filtration and heating system. The nose is intended only for breathing, and the mouth - for eating food.

When breathing through the mouth, the air that enters into the lungs is not moistened, is not subjected to cleansing from microscopic dust and everything else, which leads to various diseases and negative phenomena in the respiratory tract:

The respiratory function of the nasal sinuses is reduced;

Memory disorder;

The composition of the blood changes (the amount of hemoglobin, calcium, sugar is dropped; the acid-alkaline balance is broken);

Changes in physical development;

Impaired development of the skeleton of the face;

The function of the nervous system (headache, nervous tick, irritability, urinary incontinence, night fear) are broken;

Frequent development of angino, bronchitis, pneumonia;

There is a hearing disorder;

Violated vision;

Digestion deteriorates;

Reducing the protective properties of respiratory tract when infections getting.

This is an approximate list of diseases and disorders that may occur when breathing disorders through the mouth.

REFERENCE

What does Nast

The beginning of the respiratory tract is the nasal cavity. It performs a number of essential functions in the respiratory process. First, the nose is the first barrier for penetration into the lungs of the substances harmful to the body. Volosters nostrils delay dust particles, microorganisms and other substances falling into the nose when inhaling. Secondly, cold air, passing through the nasal moves, heated with heat of blood vessels. Thanks to this, the air is already firing air. In addition, in the nasal cavity, the inhaled air is moistened, and the noseal mucus due to local immunity struggles with harmful microorganisms and viruses.

In children, in comparison with adults, the nasal cavity has a number of distinctive features. The nasal moves are narrow, and the mucous membrane of the nose is abundantly equipped with small blood vessels, so rhinitis often occur in children. So that this does not happen, children from an early age must be trained in proper breathing through the nose.

It is from diseases of the nasal cavity (chronic runny nose, adenoids, the curvatures of the nasal partition, etc.), many diseases of the lungs and disturbances of the respiratory function begins.

The nose is the first and most important borderline line between the "inner world" of our organism and an aggressive external environment. Passing through the nasal moves, the cold air is moistened due to the nasal mucus and heated with heat of blood vessels. The hairs growing on the mucous membrane of the nostrils, and the nasal mucus delay dust particles, protecting the bronchi and lungs from contamination. With each sigh, the nose will begged to fight the danger components of the air, disinfecting the air flow. Faced with a viral attack (and today, 200 respiratory viruses are known to science), the nose is trying to withstand her with her means - produces a huge amount of mucus that flushes harmful agents. In the absence of infection in the nose, about 500 ml of mucus and fluid is formed per day, and during the disease - much more. That is why a person sick with a runny nose should increase the daily fluid intake at least 1.5-2 liters.

In general, a runny nose is a signal that "attacked you". At this point, it is necessary to act very vigorously to stop the further spread of infection. Otherwise, the "harmless" squabble nose can be a predecessor of more serious health problems.

So spoke Konstantin Butyko:

"The paradox is that when the chipping asthmatic greedily swallows the air, then he only aggravates his condition. I want to breathe even more, the lungs work like blacksmithing furs, the heart knocks, like a motor on complete revs, and the oxygen is increasingly lacking. It is only worth delaying breathing, instantly comes to relief. A protective reaction is triggered: without waiting for the next breath, the body responds to the delay in the expansion of blood vessels in order to deliver to organs as greater than blood as possible and ensure their maximum oxygen. Normal breathing is not only a breather in order for the next portion of oxygen, but also a reasonable pause on the exhalation necessary to save carbon dioxide, from which we rush to get rid of it, considering it harmful. "

The essence of the method

The scientist experimentally proved that in the blood of healthy people of carbon dioxide, it contains much more than in patients, say, bronchial asthma, colitis, ulcer of the stomach or undergoing infarction, stroke. Consequently, to save a person from the illness, it is only necessary to teach it to save carbon dioxide in its body. Make it allows not deep, but superficial breathing.

To saturate blood with carbon dioxide, which is very little in the surrounding air, you need to regulate your breathing, making it superficial, and the pauses between the breaths are longer.

The advantages of respiratory gymnastics in Buteyko is an opportunity to do exercises where and ever: at home, on a walk, at work and even in transport. In addition, it is quite simple and suitable for all age groups, ranging from children from 4 years and ending with the most advanced age.

The essence of treatment is to gradually reduce the depth of breathing. As the breathing delay is elongated, the blood and tissue are increasingly saturated with oxygen and carbon dioxide, the acid-alkaline equilibrium is restored, metabolic processes are normalized, the immune protection is fixed. And the disease retreats.

Why is the carbon dioxide important for humans

Quotes from lectures, articles, books Konstantin Butyko:

"... The poisonous effect of deep breathing or hyperventilation was openly in 1871 by the Dutch scientist de Costa. The disease was called "hyperventilation syndrome" or the initial stage of deep breathing, which accelerates the death of patients. In 1909, the famous physiologist D. Genderson conducted numerous experiments on animals and experimentally proved that deep breathing was disastrous for a living organism. The cause of death of experimental animals in all cases was a shortage of carbon dioxide, in which excess oxygen becomes poisonous. " But people forgot about these discoveries, and we often hear calls to breathe deeply.

* * *

"... a few words about the origins: life on Earth arose about 3-4 billion years ago. Then the atmosphere of the Earth consisted mainly of carbon dioxide, and the oxygen in the air was almost at all, and then life was arose on Earth. All living beings, living cells were built from air carbon dioxide, as built and now.

The only source of life on Earth - carbon dioxide, the plants eat it using the energy of the Sun. The exchange of substances billions of years walked in an atmosphere, where the content of carbon dioxide was very high. Then, when plants appeared, they and algae ate almost all carbon dioxide and formed coal reserves. Now in our oxygen atmosphere, more than 20%, and carbon dioxide is already 0.03%. And if these 0.03% disappear, there are nothing to eat plants. They will die. And all living on Earth will die. This is quite accurate: the plant placed under the glass cap without carbon dioxide, immediately dies. "

* * *

"We are pretty much lucky: we poured one hundred of the most frequent diseases of the nervous system, lungs, vessels, metabolism, the gastrointestinal tract, etc., etc. It turned out that these hundred with excessive diseases are directly or indirectly associated with deep breathing. The death of 30% of the population of modern society comes from deep breathing. "

* * *

"... We prove your right point instantly. If a hypertensive crisis cannot be removed by weeks, we remove it in a few minutes. "

"Chronic pneumonia of the guys, which is ongoing 10-15 years, is liquidated by reducing breathing in a year and a half. Cholesterol stains, deposits in patients with sclerosis on centuries, which were previously removed by a knife, and they were again absorbed, they are absorbed by our method of reducing breathing in 2-3 weeks. "

"The reverse stroke of atherosclerosis is proven by indisputable."

* * *

"We have established a general law: the deeper breathing, the hardest man and faster death, the smaller (superficial breathing) - the more he is healthy, straining and durable. In all this has the importance of carbon dioxide. She does everything. Than it is more in the body, the more healthy. "

* * *

"The fact that carbon dioxide is important for our body, confirms embryology. The latest data suggest that we all were with you for 9 months, it would seem in terrible conditions: in the blood we had oxygen 3-4 times less than now, and carbon dioxide 2 times more. And it turns out that these terrible conditions are needed to create a person. "

"Now accurate studies show that the cells of our brain, hearts, kidneys are needed on average 7% carbon dioxide and 2% oxygen, and the air contains 230 times less carbon dioxide and 10 times more oxygen, it means that it has become poisonous!"

"And especially poisonous for a newborn, which has not yet adopted to him. It is necessary to be amazed by people's wisdom, forcing parents immediately tightly swaded newborns, and in the east to screw their hands and a chest rope to the ski. And our grandmothers were pellenyli tight, then a rather dense canopy covered.

The child slept, I survived normally. Gradually, the infant was accustomed to this poisonous air. "

"... we are now clear what carbon dioxide is - this is the most valuable product on Earth, the only source of life, health, wisdom, cheerfulness, beauty, etc. When a person learns to keep carbon dioxide, his mental healthy increases dramatically, the nervous system is reduced. . Our method of eliminating deep breathing (VLHD) treats only one disease - deep breathing. But this disease creates 90% of all diseases. "

"... Now, as a result of a huge research and experimental work, the actual action of oxygen is well known. It turns out that mice begged with pure oxygen, they die after 10-12 days. Many experiments with respect to people breathing oxygen - the lungs are damaged and inflammation of the lungs from oxygen begins. And we treat the inflammation of the light oxygen. If mice are placed under pressure into oxygen, where the concentration of molecules is even greater, with 60 pressure atmospheres they die in 40 minutes.

Obviously, for our body, the optimal level of oxygen is about 10-14%, but not 21%, and this is approximately at an altitude of 3-4 thousand meters above sea level.

Now it is clear why in the mountains the percentage of long-livers is more, the fact is indisputable - there is less oxygen. If you raise patients in the mountains, it turns out that they feel better there. Moreover, there is also the least sainted by angina, schizophrenia, asthma, infarction, hypertension. If there is such patients there, the medium with a smaller percentage of oxygen is more optimal for them. "

"... Our blood comes with the air of the lungs, and the air of the lungs just contains carbon dioxide of 6.5% and about 12% oxygen, that is, just that optimum, which is needed. Strengthening or shorting breathing, we can violate this optimum. Deep and frequent breathing leads to the loss of carbon dioxide in the lungs, and this is the cause of serious violations in the body. "

"The deficiency of CO 2 (carbon dioxide) causes a shift of the inner medium of the body in the alkaline side and this disrupts the metabolism, which, in particular, is expressed in the appearance of allergic reactions, tendency to colds, the growth of bone tissues (sowing in use of salts), and so on ., Up to the development of tumors. "

"We consider it proven that deep breathing causes epilepsy, neurasthenia, heavy insomnia, headaches, migraines, ears, irritability, a sharp decline in mental and physical disability, a deterioration in memory, a decrease in the concentration of attention, a disturbance of the peripheral nervous system, cholecystitis, chronic runny nose , chronic inflammation of the lungs, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, pneumosclerosis, tuberculosis occurs in deep breathing, because their body is weakened. Next: Expansion of the veins of the nose, veins on the legs, hemorrhoids, which now received its theory, obesity, disruption of metabolism, a number of violations by genital organs in men and women, then toxicosis of pregnancy, miscarriages, complications during childbirth. "

"Deep breathing contributes to the influenza, rectifies rheumatism, chronic inflammatory foci, inflammation of almonds, as a rule, can be breathing deeply. Chronic tonsillitis is a very dangerous infection, no less dangerous than tuberculosis. These infections deepen their breathing and more striking the body. The deposition of salts (gout) - also arises from deep breathing, wen on the body, any infiltrates, even the brittleness of the nails, dry skin, hair loss - all this, as a rule, the results of deep breathing. These processes are still not treated, not warned and have no theory. "
