Chapters

If you suffer from asthma attacks. I was blown away by how easy this method is. See, personally, I've never really suffered from asthma, but so many people in our community have. This daily practice really helps them get over asthma. So here's what you're going to do. Take a breath in through your nose. A normal exhale through your nose. Pinch your nose and then hold your breath and count how long you can hold your breath until you get first big urge to breathe. Then have a few recovery breaths and repeat this three times in a row. Then repeat that set of three another three times in the day. Practice this daily and may never need an asthma inhaler ever again.
