Buteyko provides a comprehensive approach to achieving safe and effective
asthma control. Buteyko helps you to control your asthma through simple breathing exercises and
asthma management - without the use of drugs.
According to the founding principles of the Buteyko Method, some 200 diseases are linked to dysfunctional breathing:
asthma, allergies and emphysema are just a few examples.
More than 40 years of research have produced the Buteyko Method, which can recondition and normalise the breathing and restore the body's most important function.
This introduction to the Buteyko Method covers its history, some breathing basics, a test to check your own breathing, results of medical trials and the kinds of problems the Buteyko Method can help.
Many thousands of asthmatics and those with breathing difficulties have experienced remarkable improvement in their condition with this amazing method, which has allowed them to reduce their dependency on medication and enjoy a quality of life they previously thought impossible.

WHAT IS BUTEYKO?
WHAT IS BUTEYKO?
The Buteyko Method is a technique first developed by
Russian respiratory
physician, Dr Konstantin Buteyko, which allows
people to re-train their
breathing patterns as a way of improving health.
HOW IS BUTEYKO'S METHOD TAUGHT?
The Buteyko Method is most effectively taught in groups or individually by a qualified & experienced Buteyko Practitioner and Mr. Jac Vidgen is one of them.
WHAT IS REQUIRED?
For a minimum of five days of treatment you will be required to adhere to some basic
lifestyle modifications and to perform some breathing exercises three or four times a day.
Depending on your progress, you'll find you can practice Buteyko's method with little or
no intrusion on your normal routine. In fact, most patients find they can enjoy a level of
sports and fitness they previously thought impossible.
WHAT ABOUT MY DOCTOR?
Tell your doctor what you are doing so he/she may monitor your progress. The Buteyko
Practitioner will be pleased to discuss, explain or send appropriate literature upon request.
Most doctors are pleased to see their patients' reliance on drugs of any kind
reduced or diminished. However, they are often sceptical (with good reason), at first, of
any new method that claims such unprecedented results.
MY CONDITION IS VERY SEVERE, WILL IT HELP ME?
Often, the more severe the problem the more dramatic the improvement.
If in doubt, consult a Buteyko practitioner before enrolling on a course.
SPORTS AND FITNESS
For sometime Russian athletes have benefited from special Buteyko training whereby they increase their stamina, performance and recovery. Also a number of top Australian athletes are now using the method.
IF BUTEYKO'S METHOD IS SO SUCCESSFUL, WHY ISN'T IT GENERAL PRACTICE?
It is hoped that when more doctors see the research and trial data they will join the
growing numbers of doctors who endorse and recommend this drug-free method.
