    Studies have shown reduced use of rescue inhalers among patients using the Buteyko breathing technique (BBT). Improvements in other measures of asthma severity have not been shown. Additional study is warranted.

    You should read product labels, and discuss all therapies with a qualified healthcare provider. Natural Standard information does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
