The Buteyko technique for hayfever, rhinitis, sinus problems and allergies

The Buteyko technique of breathing retraining is very effective for nasal and sinus problems. By retraining the breathing and normalising the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide, the swelling and inflammation of the nasal mucosa and excessive production of mucous in the sinuses and nasal passages no longer occur. The highly reactive immune system is also stabilised by the change in the blood pH achieved by altering the underlying breathing pattern.

Conventional medical treatment of these very uncomfortable and often distressing conditions consists of antihistamine or decongestant drugs, steroid nasal sprays and decongestant nasal sprays, and often pain killers. These treat the symptoms of the conditions, but do not address the cause. By changing the underlying breathing pattern, which is the cause of the problem, Buteyko Breathing provides a permanent, drug-free solution.

Hayfever, rhinitis and sinusitis sufferers who learn the Buteyko technique can expect to breathe easily through the nose, to have clear, drier nasal passages and to be free from headaches, stuffiness and blocked or runny nose. They will no longer need to take antihistamines or decongestant drugs or to use nasal sprays.
