Asthma treatment

Buteyko The method is a method of complementary medicine for the treatment of obstructive airway diseases like asthma. She comes from Russia and is named after its founder, the physician and scientist Konstantin Buteiko.

A person develops asthma, according Buteiko, because over time he habitually inhaling more air than the body actually needs. This is his statement after whatever type asthma exists. From the viewpoint of the method are the health problems resulting from excessive breathing, have wide-ranging. Every part of our body, every organ and every system is supported by excessive breathing affected. These disorders are called “chronic hyperventilation syndrome (CHVS) together. Buteiko The method provides a simple therapy to work with you can learn to habitually breathe less. How might the dysfunction along with their symptoms, including asthma recede.

Buteyko method already developed his method in the 1950s, but it took until the year 1981, until the Russian authorities to apply throughout the former Soviet Union. The method Buteiko spread over time, first to Australia and New Zealand, there are some users now have 10-15 years experience.

The results of a clinical investigation in 1998 was published in Australia (Bowler et al., See below), showed that asthma patients who applied this technique, have been able to use their spasmolytic medication within three months by an average of 90 percent decrease. However, changing the measured lung function values are not, as several randomized trials and a Cochrane review have shown. In Germany, the Buteiko therapy there is no accepted procedure, the cost of health insurance are not refundable. Overall, the treatment method is a theory underlying cause of the current state of scientific medicine does not comply. So far there is no procedure by which a cure / removal of asthma would be possible.

  Development of asthma from the perspective of Buteiko [Edit]
Breathing regulates the acidity of the blood through the controlled release of carbon dioxide. Under normal breathing conditions bind the red blood cell count just as much oxygen as they can. However, if one hyperventiliert (that breathes more than you really should), then you will not receive more oxygen. Excessive breathing leads, however, then to a lower blood levels of carbon dioxide. From the viewpoint of the method is about breathing into a habit, when an excessively long period of time to breathe. Since all the chemical products produced by the body, and all the bodily functions depend on carbon dioxide, CO2 brings a deficiency the biochemical balance of the body, confused and ultimately leads to a series of disturbances.

Carbon dioxide helps with the delivery of oxygen by its binding to the hemoglobin is relaxed. This physiological principle is the Bohr effect known.
Low carbon dioxide concentrations favor spasms of smooth muscles of blood vessel walls, the Bronchiolen, in the intestine and the bladder.
In asthmatics withdraws after Buteiko view of the musculature of the extremely Bronchiolen along the bronchi are irritated and react quickly to any further short-term increase in respiration. A stressful thought, an aggressive allergen, or even a hearty laugh then they could already be a panic reaction tempted.
In allergic asthma the immune system has difficulty to distinguish between serious illness and strange, but harmless material to be distinguished. After Buteiko to the immune system through the reduced carbon dioxide concentration weakened, so that a vicious circle arises.
In particular, chronic stress is by the followers of the method as an important cause of the hyperventilation views. Examples include workplace stress, social stress and financial worries.

The bronchial asthma  is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract with existing permanent hypersensitivity. When people assessed according to the inflammation leads to incremental costs as a result of breathing constriction of the airways – a so-called Bronchialobstruktion (definition of the international consensus report). This airway narrowing is increased secretion of mucus, the Bronchialmuskulatur tension and the formation of edema Bronchialschleimhaut caused by the treatment she is rückbildungsfähig (reversible). A variety of stimuli cause the increase in the sensitivity of the airways (bronchial Hyperreaktivität or Hyperreagibilität) and the associated inflammation. Five percent of adults and seven to ten percent of children suffer from asthma.
