Breathing Free

More about the book

Teresa Hale presents a transformative approach to breathing that could be life-changing for those with asthma and severe respiratory diseases. Many Americans struggle with these conditions, often relying on medications that mask symptoms but create dependency without addressing the root cause. This book introduces a five-day program, the Breath Connection, developed at London's Hale Clinic and rooted in Professor Konstantin Buteyko's research spanning over forty-five years. The program has already helped hundreds of thousands find relief from asthma and other respiratory issues by addressing dysfunctional breathing, or overbreathing, which is linked to around 200 diseases, including asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis. With illustrative line drawings, the text teaches a natural technique that enables sufferers to manage their breathing patterns, preventing attacks, improving sleep, and reducing medication use by up to 60 percent. Central to this program is The Pause Control, a breath-holding technique that balances the body’s carbon dioxide, oxygen, and pH levels. Additionally, it offers significant health benefits, including stress reduction, weight loss, and heart health. This groundbreaking work aims to revolutionize treatment for millions who feel hopeless in their struggle against respiratory illnesses.
