Konstantin Pavlovich<unk>  The<unk>  or<unk>  Breathing Technique is a form of complementary or alternative physical therapy that proposes the use of breathing exercises primarily as a treatment for asthma and other respiratory conditions. It is based on the assumption that numerous medical conditions, including asthma, are caused or exacerbated by chronically increased respiratory rate or hyperventilation. The method purportedly retrains breathing pattern through chronic repetitive breathing exercises to correct hyperventilation that in turn will treat or cure any other conditions related to hyperventilation. Treatments include a series of reduced-breathing exercises that focus on nasal-breathing, breath-holding and relaxation. The<unk>  has not been shown to alleviate symptoms and reliance on medication for patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic hyperventilation. The medical community questions the evidence supporting the theory the method is based on and its practical efficacy.
