Breathing Exercises

With breathing exercises can succeed in controlling one's breathing as to use that they'll give relief during an acute asthma attack.
Real, conscious breathing and body supplies the brain cells of oxygen and leads the body into a state of relaxation. In an acute asthma attack, the bronchi constrict so strong that the person can not breathe properly and only after an asthma inhaler sprays can breathe again. In addition, the natural fear comes during an asthma attack suffocate, resulting in a faster breathing and a poorer supply of the cells with oxygen. Through the correct posture with special breathing exercises and controlled breathing can be tried to alleviate the breathing difficulties.
It is important that in carrying out the exercises, certain rules are respected:

    
Inhaling through the nose should be made slowly, with the mouth remains closed.
    
Breathe out through your mouth is then and in such slow and as long as possible. Breathe it "heard" from the "sss", "sh", "pff" or "ch" sounds. So the breathing is easier to control.
The following breathing exercises in a relaxed posture in the state, lying or sitting done. Especially when standing exercises is to ensure correct posture. Stand upright with no hollow back, the feet are parallel to the floor and your knees are relaxed.
Exercise 1: The pursed lip
This exercise is particularly acute respiratory distress or under stress is important and forms the basis of all breathing exercises. Here, the air inhaled through the nose and slowly through the Spitsbergen, only slightly open mouth and checked (against the pursed lips) exhaled. The air is as described above, in "sss" - sounds exhaled - or "pff". By this method, the airways remain far, the lung is deflated and can be supplied with a new, oxygen-rich air.
Exercise 2: The driver seat

The back is in the position of a cat hump, slightly rounded and not cramped. While you are back in the upright position, exhale, the air should be breathed far away from you.
Exercise 3: Variant of the driver's seat
As a variation, you can take a table to help that one can remove his head. The hands in this exercise are not on the thighs, but also on the table and support the head. With the help of a pursed lip and exhaled.
Exercise 4: Goalkeeper position
This exercise is performed while standing, with knees slightly bent. The hand is placed about an inch above the knee down to the thighs and begins with the pursed lip breathing out and off.
Through conscious breathing during the various exercises, the body relaxes and helps the muscles around the bronchial tubes around to loosen up and solve. Asthmatics can also learn to breathe easy.
