Science has worked towards developing of possible cures, preventions, and treatments for various illnesses. There are tons of medicines for each ailment out there. Modern medicine is developed through extensive research and evidence, which contributes to its popularity of use. This fact-based approach is often called "conventional medicine". Any other approach is branded as "alternative medicine". But even with all the advancements in science and technology, there is, technically, no cure for anything. As the saying goes, there isn't even a cure for the common cold.
Modern medicine has created controller and rescue medications for asthma attacks. These often come in the form of inhaled bronchodilators and have been the most popular form of asthma treatment since its invention in the 1960s. Alternative asthma treatments range from anti-inflammatory drugs to acupuncture, herbal concoctions, and breathing exercises.
Breathing techniques, also known as breathing exercises and proper or correct breathing, are known to alleviate asthma symptoms without the help of the usual bronchodilators. The Buteyko method defies the laws of science and facts but has proven its worth and is now declared by various clinical studies as 96% efficient in treating asthma.
The Buteyko breathing method was also developed in the 1960s by the late Russian doctor, Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko. He noticed that an ill person almost always over-breathes. He thought it possible to reverse the illness by controlling breathing. The Buteyko method was adapted in Russian hospitals and has helped a lot of asthmatics. It allegedly spread after a foreigner was subjected to that treatment in a Russian hospital and preached it in his homeland.
Since the Buteyko method has reached the western world, it has adapted and changed. Techniques may vary across different countries but the core principles of Buteyko remain the same. These principles are reduced breathing, nasal breathing, and relaxation. Overall, the Buteyko breathing method aims on breathing correctly. More specifically, it is about not over-breathing. While the relationship between over-breathing and illnesses seem unclear, Buteyko breathing methods do work and has been accepted as an alternative asthma treatment.
