Summary

Close Your Mouth is a self-help audiobook containing complete instructions to apply the Buteyko Method for asthma, coughing, wheezing, breathing problems, and nasal congestion.

The Buteyko Method can be learned by children and adults alike. It is supported by 20 clinical trials. Trial results within 12 weeks included:

  • 70 percent less coughing and wheezing
  • 90 percent less need for reliever (rescue) medication and
  • 50 percent less need for preventer medication 

The author, Patrick McKeown, is one of a few persons directly accredited by the late Professor Buteyko to teach his method to others. In 2002, Patrick founded the renowned Buteyko Clinic International to enable children and adults worldwide to improve their asthma control and significantly reduce their need for asthma medication.

The Buteyko Method empowers children and adults by re-educating their breathing in order to manage and significantly reduce their asthma for the rest of their lives. Close Your Mouth is the Buteyko Clinic Instruction manual given to each attendee of Patrick's clinics. It is written in a simple style that can easily be understood and applied daily. Since its publication Close Your Mouth is in the top 10 best-selling self help books for asthma on Amazon.

The Buteyko Method has been described as one of the most important medical discoveries of the 20th century. You will find the information in this audiobook compelling and life changing.

Close Your Mouth

I found some great advice and techniques in this book. I have started using some of the methods and I am finding it beneficial... The Controlled Pause was quite difficult at first, but by persevering I have increased to 22 seconds and hope to improve it even further.
I can recommend it.

Not just for asthmatics

This should be taught to every child in school over the age of five.
This book is beneficial to anyone who breathes.

Very practical

I have found this little audiobook very useful in that it gives you practical exercises that you can implement should you wish to go ahead with it, and it is all clear and straightforward.
However, I find it a bit confusing that I have always heard that holding your breath is a bad habit and yet he seems to be advocating for it? So, before I launch into doing the exercises, I am going to do a bit more research.
