Alleviating August allergies
from The Blue Mountains Gazette, Wednesday, August 16, 2000
August blossoms and gusty August winds challenge the sinuses of even the most robust individuals.
Are you one of those folk who spend the Spring with a blocked, red, shiny nose, watery eyes and a budget stretched to include antihistamine preparations and copious amounts of tissues? I can imagine your frustration if you read my article in Healthy Living last month encouraging you to breathe exclusively through your nose! When sinusitis and rhinitis rule your life, nasal breathing seems impossible. It’s ironic that the more you breathe through your mouth the more your nose will block up. A vicious cycle and probably one you’ll continue to throw a lot of money at until you find a final and satisfactory solution.
A Buteyko Breathing Teacher can help you. It is the way that you are breathing which encourages the constant histamine reaction in your body. When you overbreathe the imbalance of gases in your blood cause a great many disturbing symptoms throughout your system. Allergies are one very distressing symptom and one that often leads to very serious conditions such as asthma.
All accredited teacher/practitioner members of the Buteyko Institute of Breathing and Health (B.I.B.H.) are dedicated to educating clients about their health, medications (totally in concord with Asthma Foundation Guidelines), and, in particular, retraining their breathing to the accepted medical norm of 4 to 6 litres of air breathed at rest per minute. We work with you on integrating your new breathing into every facet of your everyday life – even specialized fields like sport and singing. When you breathe correctly every day is a step forward into better health. You actually take charge of your health and are able to break that constant financial drain of costs associated with chronic respiratory conditions. Among the now over 15,000 people Australia wide who have retrained with Buteyko Breathing are many famous Olympic athletes, singing stars and sportspeople. The Russian cosmonauts all are trained with Buteyko as a matter of routine. So why don’t you breathe with the stars?
