This essential resource is ideal for sufferers of all ages, as well as parents of asthmatic children who want to help treat the problem naturally.
The book includes an explanation of the breathing system, helping readers to understand what asthma is and how it is triggered. The yoga approach to asthma and how and why it works is also clearly explained.
This highly practical and accessible guide includes: · physical exercises (asanas) · breathing exercises (pranayama) · mind power · coping with anxiety and panic to prevent attacks · relaxation exercises · nutritional advice.
