Here compiled is a text, necessary for those who suffer from Asthma. For many years I suffered from it. I developed a case of chronic asthma in my early - mid teens. When it hit, it was like a tidal wave. One night I was rushed to the emergengy room... There was an oxygen mask and several injections to reverse the inflammation. It took me several years to figure out that my pumps were not helping at all. I suffered, ontop of leading an almost sedentary life. Then I was introduced to Wai Lana's yoga which helped immenesly. Comparing her workout to that of the Bihar School of Yoga, I see where she went right. I ceased to having attacks so close to one another and in the winter which became deadly for me. Since then I discovered many other forms of healing like from Pranayama's, healing sounds, meditation, working out, etc. It took me so many years to come to this book.

Shopping around, I found Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha, an absolutely great book and also by the Bihar School of Yoga. It was in this area of my searching that I also found and purchased, Yogic Management of Asthma and Diabetes by Dr. Swami Shankardevananda. While reading the opening of this book, I came had a revelation, my search for how to treat my asthma was finally over. This is the most comprehensive, single source on how to diminish asthma for good. It can be done. I now carry my pump just in case, but never have to use it.

With his many years of practice in the western world of medicine and his studies and mastery of the yogic arts Dr. Swami Shankardevananda has given the world a book from which to learn so that we may spot the signs in us and in others when an asthma attack is lurking. He has given us a complete set of exercise (asana, meditations, and pranayama's) to strenghten and relax our bodies. And to add to this books worth, we are set about to searching and finding the root cause(s) that brings about these traumatic episodes. Asthma attacks themselves can be damaging to a persons being.

This is a book that I highly recommend owning if you or a family member or friend suffers these episodes. It is definately worth the time and money to know this information. Thanks to Dr. Swami Shankardevananda and the Bihar School of Yoga, its founder and those who continue to make the world a healthier place.
