Escape From AsthmaNose Clearing & Your First Buteyko ExerciseAsthma Episode #4 Nose Clearing & Your First Buteyko Exercise
Hello this is Michael Lingard welcoming you to “Escape from Asthma” episode 4, “Nose Clearing and Your First Buteyko exercise”.
Nose breathing, an aid to better asthma control.
Perhaps the simplest advice is to try to always breathe through the nose. Why?

This is a serious question that goes to the heart of our current crisis in the NHS. Most Doctors are trained as pathologists and have very little training in health promotion or natural health therapy. The very word “Doctor” used to mean “Teacher” in the days when physicians had to make do with the few simple remedies at hand and then do their best to understand why their patients were sick and try to motivate them to help themselves as much as possible with good advice. It was in the interest of both doc...2019-01-2800 minYour Health in Your Hands!Boost Your Sports Performance & Physical FitnessPodcast # 15 Boost Your Sports Performance & Physical Fitness

Because chronic hidden hyperventilation is not easily recognized, it is rarely diagnosed, and when it is patients are given little advice and support to deal with a habit.
