(7/10/2006)

Originally devised by Russian respiratory physician, Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko, and officially recognized in the 1980s by the Government Committee for Science and Technology of the USSR, the Buteyko Method once focused solely on the treatment of asthma. Wider study and application, however, have now demonstrated the revolutionary approach to re-training how we breathe is also extremely effective for a whole range of related disorders such as allergies, rhinitis, bronchitis, sleeping disorders (such as sleep apnea), and other breathing problems.
