BREATHING EXERCISES FOB ASTHMA

in asthma, the difficulty is get.- tmg the used air out of the lungs, not getting enough air into the lungs. The Asth-.-no Research Coun- cil of Great Britain issues a little booklet It a nominal cost of 50 cents called "Breathing Exercises in the Treabrncirt of Asthma." It can be obtained from Guy's Hospi- tal. The Strand. London. England.

During an attack of asthma. the little air sacs or bags are narrow- ed by spasms or congestion with the result that the air cant' get out of the lungs easily. The idea of the breathilgg exercises is to try to push this ned air completely out of the lungs. The asthmatic is taught to use his diaphragm by tightening his abdominal muscles u is done in pushing wastes from lower bowel when at stool.
