How to Treat Hypertension Naturally With Buteyko Method and Breathing Retraining

Dr. Artour Rakhimov and Volker Schmitz about effects of breathing retraining on hypertension

From Dr. Artour Rakhimov's experience breathing retraining works really well for students with hypertension. If people maintain a high body-oxygen level they can continue to not have hypertension cured with Buteyko naturally and breathing retraining. To maintain a high body-oxygen level students have to practice breathing exercises and physical exercises. Measuring the body-oxygen level is done with a simple DIY control pause test. It is described in Dr. Artour Rakhimov's other YouTube videos.

Following are some practical topics discussed. What is the initial stage of someone that has hypertension? There was a medical study that examined breath holding time in people with different degrees of hypertension. People with severe forms of hypertension had very low results for the test. The test results were equivalent to about 10 seconds for the control pause test.

One breathing retraining student with 10 seconds on the CP test was Dr. Artour Rakhimov's father. His father visited him in Canada with that level. Dr. Artour Rakhimov's father had very severe hypertension with headaches. Previously he was very active and would like to ski. In Canada, he was breathing with his chest and through his mouth. This has drastic effects on body-oxygen levels. Going upstairs would make him breathe heavily. Also, he was overweight by 30 pounds and he had problems with sleep.

Dr. Artour Rakhimov taught his hypertensive father and nephew breathing retraining together. They would compete to get a higher CP level. When he achieved about 20 seconds, he was able to walk fast with only nasal breathing. He started to reduce medication by about half.

When Dr. Artour Rakhimov's father reduced his breathing, his medication was too strong for him. It is important to be monitored when doing breathing retraining and taking medication. Having too low blood pressure can be dangerous and you can faint. High blood pressure changes relatively fast when doing breathing retraining. This is good for getting rid of symptoms but requires a careful review of medication dosages. Dr. Artour Rakhimov had many students with hypertension that achieved 30 seconds for the body-oxygen test. They were mostly able to get stop taking medication.

It is required to maintain 40 seconds for the morning control pause. Overnight is when body-oxygen levels tend to drop for many students. Having 40 or 50 seconds on the test people will have lots of energy and be able to exercise a lot. Based on Dr. Artour Rakhimov's experience and thousands of doctors in the Soviet Union, hypertension was the second most common problem after asthma to be treated with breathing retraining.
