| Abstract | ||||
| Asthma is one of the chronic respiratory disorder affecting children of all age group .It is characterized by long-term airway inflammation with respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, wheezes, shortness of breath and episodes of coughing of variable severity.The possible effects of asthma and other chronic respiratory problems to children are often attributed to restrictions in activity and its dangerous consequences. Despite there is a better awareness of the causes that cause asthma and new pharmacological measures are available for the treatment of asthma, the goal is to ensure that as many children with asthma worldwide have access to cost-effective management methods to minimize morbidity and mortality as possible.This can be achieved by combination of medical therapy and complementary alternative medicine techniques.One such method is Buteyko breathing technique (BBT). This technique is a distinctive breathing treatment that uses breathing control and breath-holding techniques to treat a wide variety of health problems that are suspected to be due to hyperventilation as bronchial asthma. This article review describes the process of BBT, the physiology behind it, and discusses the available evidence for its efficacy. | ||||
