The Buteyko Method

Healthy people have quiet and unnoticeable breathing. While they are resting, you cannot see or hear their breathing.

Quiet breathing ensures optimum partial pressure of carbon dioxide within your lungs, blood, tissues and cells. The release of oxygen from your blood depends on the presence of carbon dioxide.

Overbreathing causes a loss of carbon dioxide from your lungs, blood, tissues and cells.

This results in less oxygen being released from your blood into your tissues and organs. The more you breathe, the more your body is being starved of oxygen.

Breathing through your mouth, sighs, sniffing, noticeable breathing, hearing your breathing during rest or having a low Control Pause (explained later) indicates that you are starving your body of oxygen. Your brain is being starved, resulting in anxiety, depression and stress.

The calmer and quieter you breathe, the larger your blood vessels open, enabling better circulation and distribution of oxygen throughout the body, including the brain.

Oxygenate your brain- breathe less.
