Breathwork to manage asthma

In this video, we explore effective techniques from the Oxygen Advantage method to manage asthma symptoms and improve your breathing. Discover how to use Breathing Recovery techniques to reduce the severity of asthma attacks and promote better respiratory health. Breathing Recovery Technique: Sitting Breathing Recovery: Take a normal quiet breath in and let it out. Following an exhalation, hold your breath for 3-5 seconds. Do not hold your breath for longer, as it may increase your breathing and worsen the asthma attack. The maximum breath hold time should be no greater than half your BOLT score at the time of practicing. Leave 10 seconds between each breath hold, breathing normally through your nose during this time. Repeat the small breath hold followed by a 10-second rest until the attack has passed. Pre-Bedtime Preparation: Pay attention to asthma symptoms before bed. If you are wheezy, remain awake until symptoms are under control. Practice light, slow, and deep breathing to achieve a tolerable air hunger for 15 minutes before sleep. Avoid sleeping on your back to prevent over-breathing and mouth breathing. Sleep on your side or abdomen instead. Ensure good air circulation in your bedroom and only breathe through your nose while asleep. Use MyoTape to keep your lips together for nasal breathing. Why These Techniques Work: Performing Breathing Recovery helps manage asthma symptoms by maintaining calm and regulated breathing. Practicing proper breathing techniques before sleep can reduce nighttime asthma attacks and improve sleep quality. Consistent practice of these techniques can help improve your BOLT score, leading to better asthma control and overall respiratory health. Additional Tips: Always follow your prescribed medication regimen. Work on improving your everyday breathing patterns by practicing light, slow, and deep breathing. Aim to achieve a BOLT score above 25 seconds for optimal asthma control and better sleep quality. Incorporate these techniques into your daily routine to experience better asthma management and improved respiratory health.
