Improve health, wellbeing and performance through
regular relaxation and optimal breathing techniques
Hyperventilation is characterised by a breathing rate of 20 or more times a minute.
If a person whose ‘normal’ breathing rate is high (more than 18 breaths a minute) is confronted with a stressful situation, then there is a greater chance that the effects of hyperventilation can escalate into an acute panic attack.?In principle up until now the methods used to address this , such as breathing into a paper bag, have focussed on overcoming the symptoms. This being the case, the underlying breathing pattern is not addressed. The fact is that to achieve an effective breathing pattern it is necessary to breathe from the stomache and this is only possible with a a relatively low breathing rate.
In addition to this it is important that the breath out lasts significantly longer than the breath in (holding in / breathing out about 1.5 to 1.7) and that it is followed by a pause.

Research
“Dr. A. Mathijsen”, from the lung disease department at the Military Hospital in the Netherlands, has been researching the effect of biofeedbacktherapy on changing the breathing patterns of hyperventilation.
It was from this that Respilex developed the example audio breathing patterns it uses in its products. After 4 weeks an important improvement was noticed in the complaint symptoms of the therapy group.
The number of serious alcoholics, drug addicts and drug patients in Germany totals around 5 to 6 million. ?With an improved breathing technique, the central nervous system of patients suffering from differing forms of serious addiction, in particular alcohol and drug addiction, can be calmed down in a relatively short time.
