Helping children control asthma
Asthma UK estimates there are 1.1 million children in the UK with asthma that’s 1 in 10 children. With POWERbreathe Breathing Muscle Trainers, HAB International Ltd are helping children with asthma take control of their condition.
Recent research suggests that mothers of children with asthma use complementary or alternative treatments based upon their perception of the effectiveness of the prescribed treatments (Freidin & Timmermans, 2008). Because POWERbreathe is drug- free, it has no side effects, and does not interact with other medication in an adverse way. POWERbreathe therefore offers the “dream ticket” in terms of a complementary treatment for asthma - not only does POWERbreathe have proven effectiveness, it also reduces reliance upon medications.
“My son Jonathan, 12 and asthmatic, started using POWERbreathe about a year ago. After using it regularly for about 3 months his peak flow increased from 400 to 420 (measures from peak flow meter). He still uses POWERbreathe now, less regularly, and his peak flow has been steady and high. We were so happy with the results that we bought one for his younger cousin, also asthmatic!”
