Stopping snoring is not only good for beating depression, but it is also good for reducing the risk of sleep apnoea, heart disease, stroke, diabetes and accidents that are caused by day time fatigue. People often say, “But I can’t control my breathing when I am asleep, so how can I stop snoring?” The short answer to this is that the way you breathe when you are awake affects the way that you breathe when you are asleep. If you can change your breathing while you are awake with the Buteyko method, then you can stop snoring.
There is a strong link between snoring, a blocked nose and mouth-breathing, which is why almost every conventional treatment involves getting you to shut your mouth and breathe through your nose. Well guess what? You used to breathe like this when you were younger, and in 99% of cases there is absolutely no reason why you cannot do this again, without any gadget, device or machine. You just have to change your breathing back to a healthy level.
In two clinical trials Buteyko has been proven to reduce the amount of air a person breathes by 31%. This reduced asthma symptoms by 71%. After personally using this method, and teaching it to thousands of people, I firmly believe that you can get the same kind of results with snoring.
Of course you don’t have to change your breathing with Buteyko, but instead you could try surgery, mouthguards, special pillows, tapes, chin straps… first. And then you can try Buteyko after you find that these things only bandaid the problem because if you don’t use these gadgets you will snore again.

Although the Buteyko Method is recognized worldwide for asthma management many people seek this training for the numerous conditions associated with hyperventilation. This year alone I have taught people with anxiety, panic attacks, sleep apnoea, depression, emphysema, COPD and others who have no illness but wanted to improve their health or sporting performance.
The general rule is “if you are breathing more than normal your health will be adversely affected and you will benefit from Buteyko training”
Once you have learnt the Buteyko Method you have the knowledge for life.

The claim that 80% of asthma-related deaths are due to the regular use of bronchodilators is a serious charge made by Cornell, Stanford researchers lead by Shelley and Edwin Salpeter. The research team states that the prime culprits are long-acting bronchodilators, such as Serevent and Oxis (Oxese). And even when combined with the steroids Flixotide (Flovent) or Pulmicort to form Seretide (Advair) or Symbicort, these drugs are still thought to be potentially dangerous.
So much so that in North America the Food Drug Adminstration (FDA) has listed them with a “black box warning”, which is the strongest warning that can be applied without banning the drug altogether. Because of this strong warning, in the USA it is rare to find people using more than one puff of these medications more than once a day. In Australia and New Zealand however, this is certainly not the case as people are regularly prescribed two puffs twice a day as if our asthmatic people are somehow different to their US counterparts.
It is not that long ago that people were dying in large numbers from asthma that was attributed to the over-use of bronchodilators in New Zealand. Let’s hope that this does not happen again. If you are prescribed a long-acting bronchodilator, with or without an inhaled steroid, perhaps you could ask your doctor how this is going to improve your health in the future.
We are frequently told by users of these medications that while they no longer have as many asthma symptoms, they are less able to physically perform as well as they used to. This means that walks they used to find easy are now more difficult, or they seem to have more fatigue today than they had two years ago. In many instances these people are now experiencing something that seldom was seen in conjunction with asthma: they are experiencing sleep apnoea.

Yes, up to 90% of the UK population are breathing too much and making themselves sick! Hyperventilation is the root cause of asthma (in the opinion of Dr Konstantin Buteyko) and perhaps a major factor in over a hundred other diseases that make our lives miserable. The great thing is you can learn how to change that yourself in five days of training with the Buteyko Method. Check your breathing now, watch this short video on YouTube Check Your Own Breathing it only takes two minutes!
