THERE IS NO HEALTH WITHOUT HEALTHY BREATHING
Breathing patterns are the result of our lifestyle. When the lifestyle becomes unnatural, breathing patterns change and become unhealthy. These modified patterns can be characterized as excessive breathing or hyperventilation. It represents a major risk factor for many health problems, especially asthma and other breathing difficulties. In order to restore the natural balance of the body and enjoy optimal health and longevity, healthy breathing is a must.
The discovery was made in 1952 by renowned Russian doctor and physiologist K.P. Buteyko, MD-PhD. He stated that incorrect breathing affects health even more than improper eating and drinking. By establishing the natural breathing patterns, the Buteyko Breathing Method creates a strong foundation for overall health. If you’d like to be healthy, breathe healthily!

Natural Healing
Over-breathing, or hyperventilation, reduces oxygen delivery to the brain, heart, kidneys and other vital organs; creates spasms in various systems; damages metabolism and the functioning of the nervous, cardio-vascular, respiratory and immune systems. Over time, hyperventilation will gradually destroy a person’s health and in some cases it can even be lethal.
Here at Breathing Center, we teach how to restore a person’s health by reducing or eliminating excessive breathing. This method is based on the ground-breaking findings of K. P. Buteyko, MD who discovered that the improvement of breathing leads to significant improvement in the functioning of immune, nervous, digestive, respiratory and other bodily systems.
Coronavirus & Flu: Does Dr. Buteyko's Approach Protect Against it?
What can you do when a dangerous flu virus is suddenly active? When the number of flu deaths is rising; schools are closed for quarantine; a possibility of mandatory vaccination... Is there any way to protect yourself from the flu-like viruses? Did Dr. K.P. Buteyko leave any advice on the subject? I turned to Andrey Novozhilov, the Medical Director at Clinica Buteyko Moscow, for the answers.
In 1983, First Moscow Medical Institute conducted a clinical study, testing the effectiveness of the Buteyko’s approach in treating children with bronchial asthma. "The results were unexpected," said Dr. Novozhilov, "the first thing the doctors noticed was that every child who practiced Buteyko Breathing stopped experiencing any cold-like illnesses, including influenza." Another study, conducted in 1995, demonstrated that by the third day of practicing breathing exercises, the patient's immunity strengthened.
What is influenza, or flu? Simply, it is a virus that attacks people with a weakened immune system. If the immune system is amply strong to fight back the virus, then the flu is nothing to fear.
1. Breathe Less
Although the virus doesn’t discriminate, it is with people who over-breathe that flu has the most success. Hyperventilation lowers immunity, and thus, weakens the body’s disease-fighting ability. This is why those who practice the Buteyko Breathing Method diligently are not affected by flu viruses. Once the morning Positive Maximum Pause stabilizes at 40 seconds, viral infections cannot win battles against your body. Gaining control of your breath, more specifically - learning to breathe less, is the most powerful tool in eliminating the threat of flu.
If a person infected with flu begins to practice Buteyko breathing exercises, then the illness, in most cases, will be over in two to three days. If you have a flu virus, call Breathing Center so that a practitioner can quickly teach you how to lessen your air intake. Thanks to the Internet, teacher and student can connect from anywhere in the world, seeing and hearing each other through the computer screen. Without ever leaving your bed, and even maintaining a horizontal position, you can learn and practice the exercises that will, almost instantly, boost your immune system. Another option is to learn the essentials of the Buteyko by watching our instructional DVD-set (link to download).
2. Close Your Mouth
Another important instrument in the Dr. Buteyko's breathing normalization arsenal is nasal breathing. It is a simple solution, which you can start practicing right away, and one that "is quite effective in shielding the organism against viruses," states Dr. Novozhilov. The flu virus is aerosolized. In other words, it is spread through infected droplets that fly off a sick person when he coughs, sneezes, or even speaks. The droplets can travel up to fifteen meters from their source and are so tiny that they can penetrate even the space between the fibers of a paper or cloth mask. Thus, during a flu pandemic, it is nearly impossible to avoid infected areas and to prevent the virus from finding its way into your body.
Fortunately, the way they enter your body can make all the difference. The majority of viruses cannot survive on the mucous membrane of the nose. The microbes in this membrane create a hostile environment for the virus. When breathing through your nose, you are in fact sterilizing the air that enters your body, and thus, creating a shield against disease. Nasal breathing also warms the air, moistens it, and generally conditions it for perfect consumption. Of course, it is important to breathe this way constantly, during the day, the night, and while speaking. Contact a Buteyko Breathing Method specialist, if you need help learning how to always breathe through the nose.
Mouth breathing, on the other hand, is often responsible for flu, as well as many other viral infections. When breathing through the mouth, you are basically creating a microbe highway from the outside environment directly into your air passages. Aside from that, the air itself is often over-cooled and unprepared for consumption. The healthy body temperature is 36.6 degrees Celsius. Any air cooler than that contributes to a gradual break down of the immune system and can lead to various respiratory problems. "Actually," Dr. Novozhilov notes, "mouth breathing is often the sole reason for chronic tonsillitis in children, which causes frequent colds and bronchitis and eventually ends with surgical intervention. Of course, asking a child to breathe through his chronically stuffy nose is impossible, so it is important to contact a Buteyko Breathing Method specialist who will restore the child’s nasal breathing."
3. Think twice before taking a pill
People often look for flu vaccines for protection. However, flu viruses often mutate, thus rendering the vaccine useless. For example, if you were vaccinated, and then, in one month, that flu virus transformed into a slightly different virus, the vaccine you received would not protect against the new strain.
"In some cases," Dr. Novozhilov admits, "vaccinations can, of course, save lives. However, let's not forget that the organism treats a vaccine as, most basically, an allergen." Vaccinating people with a weak immune system, asthmatics included, is risky, sometimes resulting in more harm than good.
For particularly severe flu cases, Dr. Buteyko recommended steroids. "We have observed that such medicines lessen breathing and that is, evidently, why they quicken the healing process," Dr. Novozhilov speculates. However, hormonal medicine should only be taken with permission, and under direct supervision, of your primary physician. They should only be considered when obvious flu symptoms, such as high temperature, a sudden feeling of weakness, fast progression of the illness, etc, are displayed. Flu is, without argument, a serious disease, particularly for people with weak lungs. This is why, for asthmatics, Buteyko recommends taking the hormonal medicine at the first signs of flu.
It is absolutely safe to continue taking symptom-relieving medication while practicing Buteyko. Drinking a lot of fluids, particularly hot and sour drinks, is also suggested. "Taking antibiotics," however, "is not recommended at Clinica Buteyko," says Dr. Novozhilov, "because they are powerless against a flu virus. On top of that, for a person with bronchial asthma, antibiotics often increase the allergic inflammation of the bronchus, thus also increasing the symptoms of asthma. Antibiotics should only be taken if the flu infection threatens to strike a second time, in which case the flu may result in serious consequences. This decision, however, should be made by a medical doctor only.
"Overall, the Buteyko's Buteyko Breathing Method is a highly effective way of battling the flu," Dr. Novozhilov reiterated. "This method completely safe, it increases the benefit of medications, and decreases the length of the illness." If during flu season (and preferably year-round), adults and children practice Buteyko Breathing Method, their chances of contracting the virus will be very slim. If they do catch it, however, the method is a 100 percent guarantee of fast recovery, with no side effects.
What is the Buteyko Breathing Method? Is it a technique to pinch your nose and stop breathing? Is it a holistic treatment for asthma and other breathing difficulties? Is it a miraculous cure-all disregarded by most conventional doctors? Does the Buteyko Method help one become healthier? Can it make me a super-human? Is it a specific lifestyle? Is it a spiritual path? Is it a way to accelerate my personal development and evolution?
K.P. Buteyko with his wife, Ludmilla
My answer to all these questions is: Yes! The Buteyko Method is all of this and more. It is an incredible gift a Russian genius physiologist Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko, MD-PhD, left for humanity. Because of his discovery, today, we have a choice to make the body, mind, and spirit more balanced and, therefore, healthier. For many people who are ill or depressed, it’s terrifying to stay locked into their physical, emotional, or mental states. Thanks to Dr. Buteyko, today, we are fortunate to have the option to transition out of those states by breathing differently and, as a result, significantly improve our well-being. Do you find this difficult to believe?
I hope so! It means you are realistic and thinking clearly. It took me more than ten years to open my mind to the Buteyko Breathing Method. One day, when I lived in Moscow, Russia, and published a national magazine about holistic health and spirituality, I received a letter from the doctors trained by K. P. Buteyko. They informed me that the Buteyko Breathing Method could stop more than one hundred widespread diseases. The letter also stated that Dr. Buteyko wanted to meet with me and explain the theory of his method, so that I would write an article about his work and benefit many people. After reading this letter, I could see how a breathing technique could help people with breathing difficulties. However, I thought, there is no way for it to impact so many other health problems! I am not buying this snake oil! I refused to meet with Dr. Buteyko, a decision I will regret for the rest of my life.
In 2007, my husband became severely ill with asthma. When Thomas caught a rare flu virus, his mild breathing difficulties turned into a health disaster and, within a few months, he became an invalid, constantly coughing and fighting his fatigue. He tried almost every treatment available, conventional and alternative, but still felt breathless. Every month, he was taking more medicine, experiencing more side effects, and becoming weaker and weaker. Thomas’ situation looked hopeless but both of us kept praying for a cure.
“Can you help my husband?” I asked in desperation. “He is dying from asthma.”
“Of course,” Ludmila replied with confidence. “The Buteyko Method will stop his breathing difficulties.”
Soon, Thomas and I were flying from New York, where we lived at that time, to Moscow. Since my husband, an American, did not speak Russian, I had to attend all programs at the Buteyko Clinic and interpret for him. To translate instructions on breathing exercises and lifestyle alternations as well as the complicated medical, scientific, and philosophical theories supporting them, I first had to understand it all. Gradually, I began realizing that the Buteyko Method was not just a remedy for asthmatics, but also a powerful holistic approach to overall health and longevity capable of bettering the lives of many people.
...
At the Buteyko Clinic, Thomas began feeling better almost right away. Within a few weeks, his asthma attacks weakened drastically and became infrequent. My husband was finally able to breathe! As he continued practicing the Method, he eliminated his excessive mouth breathing and gained more control over his respiration. Within a year, he stopped taking medications and freed himself from endless allergies and breathing difficulties. He became functional again. The Buteyko Method breathed the breath of life back into his nostrils.
Learning Buteyko, I realized that I also was not healthy even though I did not have any severe health problems. Now, it is almost unbelievable to think how many issues I had then: sleep apnea, a kidney disorder, joint paint, menstrual cramps, low blood pressure, headaches, pollen allergies, heart palpitations, and more. I don’t know why I kept thinking about myself as a healthy person. At the Buteyko Clinic, for the first time in my life, I noticed that I was chronically over-breathing and began training myself to consume less air. When my breathing patterns normalized, my health disorders disappeared just like dark clouds in an otherwise clear sky. Apparently, they were triggered or even caused by hyperventilation.
Gradually, I understood that our breathing patterns affect every aspect of our lives: our physical health, our emotional states, our thinking process, our relationship with people, animals, and our Mother Earth. When automatic breathing patterns become unnatural and slip out of balance, something in the structure called body, mind, and spirit also loses balance. Ancient civilizations were aware of this correlation and paid great attention to breathing. In the contemporary world, however, most people notice their respiration only when they cannot breathe. Dr. Buteyko was a pioneer and visionary who dedicated his life to helping people understand the essential importance of wholesome breathing.
In the second part of the 20th century, Dr. Buteyko discovered that most people chronically over-breathe as a result of their unnatural lifestyle. Temperature controlled homes, food indulgence, constant stress, a sedentary lifestyle or super-intense physical activities, cars, computers, and toxic medication modify people’s breathing patterns and force them to consume more air than their bodies need. This affects the level of CO2 in the lungs, which, according to Dr. Buteyko, is the primary regulator of all bodily functions. I believe that in yoga, this CO2 level is called prana. Ludmila Buteyko shared with me that, from her perspective, CO2 was a carrier of the holy spirit. No matter what label we assign to it, it is scientifically proven that carbon dioxide is the main life force on our planet and in our bodies. When it decreases to zero, biological organisms, including human beings, die. Dr. Buteyko and his team created the Method, which allows the body to eliminate the deficit of CO2 in the lungs and, as a result, restores the natural balance, which we call health.
At the end of Thomas’ and my visit to the Buteyko Clinic, the patent holders of the Buteyko Method asked us to represent their Method in the USA. They were concerned about the increased popularity of the Buteyko Method and its decreased quality spreading like wildfire across the Internet. In the west, the words “Buteyko,” “Buteyko Method,” “Buteyko Clinic,” and “Buteyko Technique,” were not legally protected and up for grabs by anyone. Dr. Buteyko’s family wished to preserve their life-long work for future generations. Dr. Buteyko’s widow and her son, Dr. Novozhilov, were disheartened that in the west, what was taught as the Buteyko Method often contradicted the authentic Buteyko Method and sometimes, was even dangerous to people’s health. They wanted to resolve this situation and asked me to help.
I have been representing the Buteyko Breathing Method in the USA since 2009. At the Breathing Center, we tried everything we could to fulfill the wish of Dr. Buteyko’s family. I must admit that we completely failed. Today, if you type the word “Buteyko” into an online search engine, you will see information containing accurate instructions on the Buteyko Method mixed with erroneous, even hazardous recommendations regarding breathing. Could you imagine Gandhi’s name being invoked to justify a war? That’s how I feel when I see the name of Dr. Buteyko, a legendary Russian scientist, being attached to deleterious recommendations. The saddest thing is that these incorrect recommendations often come from sincere enthusiasts of the Buteyko Method. Their true motivation is to help people; however, a lack of serious education about this complex Method creates a kind of professional negligence. I hope this situation will change.
Meanwhile, all I can do is to continue being a channel for the authentic Buteyko Method and the Buteyko Clinic in Moscow. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to educate people about this powerful Russian method by teaching adults and children all over the world. It is always rewarding to see them improving their respiration as well as their health and lives. I also feel privileged to train health and wellness professionals to become certified Buteyko Breathing Practitioners and carry the Buteyko torch to various areas and cultures. The doors of the Breathing Center, this international online school, are open to everyone who wishes to learn Dr. Buteyko’s unique and life-changing approach.
I am one of the thousands of people all over the world who are forever grateful to the authors of the Buteyko Breathing Method – Konstantin Buteyko, MD-PhD, Ludmila Buteyko, and Andrey Novozhilov, MD. Thanks to their tireless efforts, the Buteyko Method was fully formed and preserved in its complete and unsullied form. On behalf of all people whose hearts were touched by their work, our global Buteyko family, I want to say: Thank You! You helped us understand that peace in our bodies, as well as peace on our planet, is impossible if we breathe like we are at war. Peace and balance inside leads to peace and balance outside. And, it all starts with peaceful breathing!
