"Prior to seeing Alison and learning about buteyko breathing, I suffered from seasonal asthma. It would start with the first cold/cough of winter, and continue until late Spring. I couldn't exercise outdoors in the cold air. In fact, every time I experienced a change in air temperature, I would start coughing and I couldn't stop.The GP prescribed a steroid inhaler, which I really disliked using.Alison had lots of practical suggestions about how to incorporate buteyko into everyday life.....day by day I could see improvements.I no longer use an inhaler, and love the fact that I can enjoy cycling and walking on crisp winter mornings without coughing."
