Ebook THE BUTEYKO METHOD (Translated)

Konstantin Buteyko's seminal work, "The Buteyko Method," delves into the revolutionary approach of controlled breathing to improve health, well-being, and vitality. This book compiles a comprehensive framework on how the Deliberate Voluntary Breathing Method (DVBM) can be applied to treat various chronic conditions, notably diabetes mellitus and bronchial asthma, among others. The text not only outlines the theoretical underpinnings of the method but also provides practical guidance on its implementation.
