In affected patients, inflammation causes recurrent episodes of shortness of breath, shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing, especially at night or very early in the morning. The objectives of the study were to test information on Buteyko's respiratory system. The Quantitative test method was adopted in the current study. 60 patients with Bronchial asthma who experienced an inclusive procedure were selected for a simplified procedure. The study was conducted at Medanta Hospital, Lucknow. Data were collected using information questionnaires to assess information on breathing exercises among OPD asthmatic patients. These study results show that out of 60 samples 10 (16.6%) had sufficient information and 16 (26.7%) had limited information and 34 (56.7%) had sufficient information. The study found that the majority of respondents who participated in the study had insufficient knowledge about breathing exercises; very few participants are experienced enough.

[1] In 1950, Drs. Konstantin PavlovichButeyko, who began planning its goals. According to the opinion of many medical conditions, including asthma, it causes or exacerbates chronic respiratory failure or hyperventilation. This procedure restores the respiratory pattern through continuous breathing exercises to correct excessive breathing or treat any other conditions associated with hyperventilation. Treatment includes a series of reduced respiratory tests that focus on nasal breathing, respiration and relaxation. Butyko's exercise reduces symptoms and dependence on medication for patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic hyperventilation. The medical community questions whether the evidence supporting the theory is based on its practical application. . [2] In Januray 27, 1923, Konstantin PavlovichButeyko was born in the small agricultural community of Ivanitsa which is away from Kievabout 150km. In 1946, he enrolled in medical training at First Medical Institute in Moscow. KP Buteyko was given a practical assignment in 1953, this included monitoring breathing of the patients, and he recorded their breath upto hundreds of hours. During this time, KP Buteyko found that bad breath causes many health problems. After that, his entire professional life was devoted to researching and refining the respiratory system that has helped thousands of people around the world overcome many respiratory problems. In the early 1980's, Russian authorities were impressed with Butyko's results by allowing him to be formally charged, or 'honored' with a child with asthma in a Moscow hospital. they were impressive enough to persuade the State Medical System to approve its widespread use.

Butyko's case, which is blind, and controlled, was made in 1994. The Butyko Institute of Breathing and Health and its staff continue this work. Many thousands of people around the world have benefited from the life-saving program launched by KP Buteyko. [3] History Buteyko's method was first developed in 1950 by geologist Konstantin Buteyko in Russia. [4]In 1968, there was a study conducted in the Leningrad Institute of Pulmonolog, that was the first official study of the Buteyko Method on asthma. The second, held at the First Moscow Institute of Pediatric Disease in April 1980, eventually led the head of the Department of Health to issue a guide for Butyko's approach to treating asthma. ”[5Later, this approach was introduced with increasing exposure in Australia, New Zealand, Britain and the United States, where it is available. Anecdotal reports of life-changing development given Butyko's approach abound on the Internet and in books. [6] Buteyko's method is one of many therapies used in the treatment of lung ailments, including common techniques such as physiotherapist-led exercise and other therapies such as Buteyko's breathing and yoga. [7] In 2019, the famous Indonesian singer Andien posted pictures of herself, her husband and their two-year- old son quietly posting on social media. The photos sparked a conversation and an interest in Buteyko’s style.
