I have used the Buteyko method for the last three years for my asthma.
This reduction in asthma medication is consistent with results obtained in the first clinical trial of the Buteyko method in the western world, and recently confirmed by a further study.
In Russia the method is called "Volitional Liquidation of Deep Breathing," while in Australia and England it is most commonly referred to as the Buteyko Method.
