The Buteyko Breathing Method
The breath is a powerful way to access our autonomic system.
|
The breath has two unique properties with profound ramifications:
- It is one of the only ways we can effectively change our autonomic response and engage the parasympathetic system
- A decrease in CO2 not only leads to bronchoconstriction and increased inflammation in the airways; it also affects the body's pH balance (respiratory alkalosis) and the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen (Bohr effect). These combined lead to hypoxia and "twitchiness"
Breathing from your nose, softly through the diaphragm
helps relax your blood vessels
improving microcirculation throughout the body
