Buteyko reigns!




Ling & I attended the Buteyko Breathing Reconditioning Program to help us with our allergic rhinitis and migraines. The method was developed by Dr. Konstantin Buteyko, a Russian respiratory physician, who discovered that the stresses of modern living have resulted in most of us chronically overbreathing. This creates imbalances in the Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide levels, causing reduced oxygen supply to the cells, and symptoms such as asthma, rhinitis, sleep disorders, anxiety disorders, coughing, etc. We attended five 2-hour workshops to learn the method from Jac Vidgen, an Australian Buteyko practitioner. After the last day of our classes, we had dinner at Sweet Inspiration on Katipunan with Ling's friends.
