The Buteyko Breathing Method encourages nasal breathing, helping to maintain healthy carbon dioxide levels and increase nitric oxide production in your sinuses. Together, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide promote better blood flow and reduce nasal inflammation, opening your nasal passages to make breathing through your nose easier, resulting in decreased mouth breathing.

The Buteyko Breathing Method helps sleep disordered breathing and snoring by encouraging nasal breathing, reducing over-breathing, and supporting stable carbon dioxide levels and nitric oxide production. Improved airway muscle tone, reduction of airway collapse, and quieter, more stable breathing during sleep is achieved. Greater outcomes can be expected along with myofunctional therapy exercises.

The Buteyko Breathing Method helps reduce anxiety, stress, and restlessness by calming over-breathing and restoring healthy carbon dioxide levels and regulating the nervous system. Steadier breathing patterns reduce the sympathetic “fight or flight” activation and promote a calmer, more settled state.

The Buteyko Breathing Method supports fewer colds and allergy symptoms by encouraging nasal breathing. Your nose warms, filters, and humidifies the air your breath in. And nitric oxide production in your sinuses helps to clean and sanitize the air you are breathing in.

The Buteyko Breathing Method helps to improve asthma and asthma-like symptoms by reducing over-breathing and stabilizing carbon dioxide levels, which can ease airway sensitivity and decrease bronchial constriction. Calmer, nasal focused breathing can reduce breathlessness and support more efficient, controlled breathing.

Studies have shown that the Buteyko Breathing Method can improve symptoms of allergies, panic attacks, hyperactivity, eczema, rhinitis, PMS, high blood pressure, sinusitis, migraines, chronic fatigue and emphysema.
