Q: Dr. Buteyko stresses using only the nose for both inhalation and exhalation and yet the Frolov device involves breathing in and out through the mouth, why?
A: Furthermore, Dr. Buteyko, as a physiologist, even provided an indirect but absolutely logical answer to this question.
"And finally one should not confuse the following concepts: we are speaking about breathing, which goes on day and night, about our basal breathing, foundation of life. Meanwhile, the system of yogi has separate breathing exercises. Therefore, it is practically unimportant for us how and what you do: feet upwards or downwards, through the right or left nostril, or by right or left side. We are interested in where you will arrive as a result of these exercises. If carbon dioxide increases, and breathing decreases, with each day, then this will ensure the transition of man into a super-endurance state." Dr. Buteyko Lecture in the Moscow State University
