Personal Review: The Breathing Book: Vitality & Good Health
Through Essential Breath Work by Donna Farhi
I have mild asthma and used to use my rescue inhaler (albuterol) a couple
of times a week, and more often in the winter. Then I read an article in
Yoga Journal about how asthma treatment only addresses the symptoms,
not the causes, of asthma. I would usually have an attack due to cold

winter air, cigarette smoke and strong perfumes, and when I went jogging.
My yoga teacher loaned me THE BREATHING BOOK, and I read about
how "chest breathing"--breathing into the chest only instead of down into
the belly--and breathing through your mouth can trigger attacks. I realized
that I often would breathe through my mouth instead of my nose, and that I
would habitually hold in my stomach and only breathe into my chest. This
creates shoulder tension and also doesn't give the diaphragm time to rest.
These things together, I learned from this book, can cause the symptoms
of asthma. It's important to breathe in deeply, through the nose, and to
allow the diaphragm a moment of rest after each exhalation. The book has
simple breathing exercises for asthmatics and for many other physical
conditions. When I read Farhi's advice, I changed my patterns and
practiced conscious breathing, and almost immediately saw results. In just
a couple of months, I found that I needed to use my inhaler less and less,
only once or twice a month instead of once or twice a week. Of course, this
might not work for everybody, and I still keep my inhaler with me always
just in case, but for the price of the book and a small investment of time,
I've seen an enormous improvement. After I returned my yoga teacher's
copy of the book, I decided that I had to buy it for myself.
