According to physiotherapists, most of the most popular respiratory techniques have Chinese or Indian roots. Today they are known about 100 species. Modern authors only modified and adapted the system proven in centuries. Respiratory gymnastics can be used as a means for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases, including bronchiectatic disease. The main thing is to choose the exercises.
The benefits of respiratory gymnastics
With excitement, stress and emotional tension helps an easy way: a few deep breaths - the lack of oxygen is replenished, the ability to logically think.
However, the danger represents a lack of not only oxygen, but also, oddly enough, carbon dioxide. It would seem that it is less, the better. But the fact is that it is a powerful stimulator of the respiratory centers, and also contributes to the extension of the vessels. And the lack of it is also dangerous as an excess.
The normal ratio between oxygen and carbon dioxide is provided by two processes in the lungs - ventilation and blood flow. When ventilation prevails over the bloodstream, more from the body is longer than necessary, carbon dioxide - its deficiency and excess of oxygen arises. It happened to you: walking through the forest and having sneaked with saturated oxygen and clean air, you suddenly feel headaches, weakness, drowsiness? This is from the overabundance of oxygen.
If the lungs are not valve enough, the amount of carbon dioxide increases in the blood, and it becomes bad again.
Chronic deviation from the norm in one direction or another leads to poor well-being, fatigue, worsening memory, contributes to the development of pulmonary and vascular diseases, including bronchiectatic disease.
Consequently, restoring and leading all these processes to the norm, you can get rid of various diseases. Breathing gymnastics are used for this. Consider the most popular of them.
Types of respiratory gymnastics
Method of yogis
In Indian yoga, breathing exercises are called Pranayama, as they allow you to recruit Prana - vital energy - and manage it. From prana according to philosophy of yogis depends the state of respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive and nervous systems, as well as mood and well-being.
Breathing on the system of yogis - deep and rare, without noise, necessarily through the nose. Air, falling into the nose, moisturizes, warmed and cleared, which does not happen when mouth breathing. In addition, the nerve endings that are associated with internal organs are stimulated with nasal respiration.
Tsygun method
This is an ancient Chinese healing technique. Gymnastics teaches proper relaxation, calm, breathing management. All this has a beneficial effect on the nervous system, which regulates all the processes in the body.
A good therapeutic effect is achieved with neurosis, asthenia, anemia, asthma, elevated pressure, diseases of the stomach and intestines, as well as bronchiectatic disease.
Butyko method
All gymnastics is based on the conclusion that due to deep breathing there is an overabundancy in the oxygen body and a lack of carbon dioxide. Consequently, there is a spasm of vessels, bronchi, which leads to different diseases - bronchial asthma, bronchiectatic disease, angina and other diseases. Buteyko complex teaches surface breathing, as a result of which the amount of carbon dioxide in the body increases.
Initially, the main focus was made on bronchial asthma - a disease in which the attack of difficult breathing occurs. Thanks to special breathing exercises, the volume of inhalation decreases. The level of carbon dioxide rises to the norm, and prevents the attack. Now this respiratory gymnastics is used to treat very many diseases, including bronchiectatic disease.
Breathing in Strelnoye
Initially, this method was intended for the treatment of voting loss diseases. Further practice has shown that this gymnastics helps with many diseases, including cardiovascular. The essence of the method is to develop the so-called paradoxical breathing. Noisy short breath is done on movements compressing the chest. Exercises involve all parts of the body in the work, and there is general physiological stimulation of the body. With long-term classes, immunity is noticeably rising, and this is important for any disease.
Do not carry out these techniques alone - only on the basis of clippings from a magazine or book. The fact is that the respiratory techniques are quite complex, and you can incorrectly understand any exercise, you will do it wrong and thus very seriously hurt your health.
Like any medical method, the respiratory gymnastics has its own contraindications. Older people, pulmonary, heart disease - they have a functional reserve of the body, so fashionable breathing gymnastics can turn out to be an unbearable load for their heart and respiratory systems.
No respiratory techniques «from all diseases». With each particular disease, depending on your condition, age and accompanying diseases, respiratory gymnastics is selected individually. Only physiotherapist can competently make a prescription.
