Buteyko is a drug-free program of asthma control. The program consists of a series of breathing exercises and advice on asthma education and management.

The aim of the Buteyko method is to return breathing patterns to that of a normal healthy person.

Buteyko theory
the end of the last century Austrian physiologists Breyer and Gering made a sensational discovery - man is the only biological specimen on earth who had not developed a correct way of breathing. All other beings know how to breathe, but not humans. Just observe those around you carefully and you will find that people breathe differently. Some breathe deeply, others superficially, some faster, others slower, with pauses and some without.

Is it expensive?

Frequently Asked Questions - Alloy Polishing Co.
Cost is usually relative to the quality of the finished product. All polishing is labor intensive, however, taking the time to do the job properly can take considerable more time than a sloppy job. Keep in mind, the nicer the finish, the more imperfections can appear, a fine sanding scratch, or exceptional buffing lines may not show in a dull finish, yet can be dramatic in a finish with lots of clarity. Extra time is involved in ‘perfecting’ the finish.

ICOI - International Congress of Oral Implantologists
Initially, you might feel dental implants are expensive. However, they represent a more permanent and natural solution than dentures and partials. Thus, there is a greater initial investment. They should last for years, particularly if you have an "ideal" case. Independent surveys of implant patients show that they felt the investment was worth every penny and would do it again!

How was the Buteyko Method developed?

Buteyko for Asthma: FAQ - Buteyko treatment, scientific tria...
Professor Buteyko, whilst completing his medical training, did a piece of work on breathing and health. He found that the sicker someone was, the more they breathed. So he set about exploring the connection between breath rate and disease. During periods of disease he found that the breath rate increased way over what is considered normal. He found that over 250 medical complaints responded favourably to breath reduction, the most noticeable being asthma.

Why has my doctor not told me about Buteyko?

He/she probably does not yet know about the Buteyko Method. Some doctors do tell their patients about the Buteyko Method, and others will tell you that the method "will do no harm". Until the necessary trial work has been completed on Buteyko, it will only be very enlightened doctors, who perhaps have personal experience of the Buteyko Method, that will actually recommend the treatment.

How does the Buteyko Method work?

Buteyko for Asthma: FAQ - Buteyko treatment, scientific tria...
The Buteyko Method normalises breathing. The exercises result in a gradual reduction in the overall intake and output of breath. Oxygen levels remain optimal, as with normal rate breathing oxygen levels are 98%, but what does change are the levels of carbon dioxide that are exhaled. This important gas is produced in the body and serves to keep the airways open and improve oxygen absorption.

Why are your rings so expensive?

SlingRings.com | Frequently asked questions
Our rings are priced as they are for two main reasons. The first is that they are made in the USA. We pay our workers a living wage. The second is that our rings are made especially for use in baby slings, which means that we put them through two and three extra processes to make sure that they are smooth and h4 and safe. We use only the highest quality materials for these same reasons.
