What is the purpose for pulling your lips in a inward direction?? And how many times a day should this be done ??? Please reply .. i SUFFER from ASTHMA !!!!!

i CAN'T DO GOOD IN MY RUNS and I even have a hard time breathing while eating sometimes..

Anyways thanks for helping !!!!!!!!!!

This practice should be done twice a day regularly for best effect -- it will take several months to retrain the respiratory muscles. With the mouth slightly open, the lower lip is pulled in slightly and so the upper lip is in front of the lower lip when one forcefully exhales -- this creates a negative pressure or vibration in the lungs which helps to clear mucus and keeps the lungs more open during the practice.

[KriyaNathYogi]

Emphysema is a lung disease caused by exposure to toxic chemicals and the lung is physically damaged permanently.

Asthma is recurrent condition with blockage of the breathing channels caused by a variety of situations such as allergies or emotional stress.

[KriyaNathYogi]

Seven repetitions in each session, and two sessions per day. It is best if the sessions are before breakfast in the morning, and before dinner at night. If done regularly, you should see the effect after three months.

References to these studies, carefully conducted randomised control trials were they? Asthma kills, be cautious of believing this actually helps. real asthma treatments (inhalers) have very extensive proof that they work. Before these treatments amny more people died from asthma, too many still do unnecessarily through poor control

@aliceihm great thank you for the response. i have been using the buteyko technique and it seems to work pretty well. i sort of do the exercises when i think about it but i will try this one out. :)

[aliceihm]

@mpjbay i tried it, at first you still need to use your medications, but after a week of constant excercise, you feel better and start decreesing the use of the enhaler.

Thanks KriyaNath Yogi - this is a great exercise. It reinforces the message that asthma is a result of things we do rather than what happens to us. Changing our breathing can change our asthma - both for better and worse.
