Asthma: "I could not believe how quickly my symptoms eased. Within a matter of months I was going on walks and cycling again with ease."

I developed late onset asthma after a bout of flu which led to bronchitis/pneumonia about five years ago. I would get very breathless even with only mild exertion and had attacks if I came into contact with smoke and pollen. Just over two years ago after a particularly bad summer, I discovered Buteyko. I had begun to lack the confidence to go out on my own in case I had an attack which made me panic, but the course gave me the confidence to believe that I could control my asthma myself. I could not believe how quickly my symptoms eased. Within a matter of months I was going on walks and cycling again with ease. I have not used my reliever once since completing the course and was able to reduce the use of steroids down to only one puff per day within a year or so and I have just recently stopped that too. Buteyko has made a massive difference to me. Many thanks. Vivien B. Wadhurst
