How to Use Frolov Breathing Device (Instructions)

I love the Buteyko Method of breath Normalization. It has helped my health and wellbeing immeasurably. I have read thousands of pages on the history, approaches and lifestyle surrounding this method. Dr. Rakhimov, like so many of the other Buteyko expert practitioners, is sincerely vested in his reader's success. He is a solid practitioner/researcher and answers one's questions before they get asked. I found this book to be easy to read and to follow, as far as the device directions are concerned. But in addition to this, the book gave me an extra dose of inspiration on why I want to continue to advance my Buteyko breathing practice and its goals. Artour encouragingly coaches in every word written. He reiterates the benefits and possibilities with a sense of urgency that makes me feel excited to be supporting my health in this way. As a student of this worthwhile yet challenging endeavor, I welcome his enthusiastic support from the sidelines and I reach higher because of it.

I totally respect Artour Rakhimov for his passion and generosity in making a large part of his work free for the good of humanity. However, as a writer I wish he'd take the less is more approach that he advocates for breathing.I didn't find this an easy read as Artour is at times vague and at others just goes on too much.

It was helpful to have this book because when I received the device I ordered, it did not have an instruction booklet with it. Whatever was written on the package was in a foreign language and not English.

I was looking for some more in depth information on how to use the Breathslim/Frolov breathing device, and instead with this book what I got was a mish-mash of analysis of Soviet research and anecdote. I also learned that the KGB had it out for Frolov. Although what that has to do with how to use his breathing device, I still can't figure.If there are actual instructions in here on how to better use the device I didn't have the patience to find them.If you want an actual how-to manual, keep looking. This is nothing but a book-length advert about why the device is great. I didn't need to be convinced of that, I just want to know how to get the most out of it.

I'm looking for a protocol to follow. I'm not great at remembering what I've read so I haven't been able to find that. It should be in there some where.

Very good book. I strongly advise this book. The manual from frolov device tell us only about this equipment, but Artour's book connect it with buteyko method.

Very informative. Speaks to a wide range of individuals, from healthy or athletic to those with mild to serious health problems. I found it inspired me to continue to improve my breathing patterns. Joy

Really helpful to me and lots of great information. Great Book for anyone with asthma or anxiety. There isn't a lot of information on this topic but this book explains it all

The people who are saying that this book doesn’t contain information on how to use the device are obviously missing the manual for the device which contains the information on how to assemble and fill it. Dr Artour is assuming you have read this manual and his book tells you in a lot of detail, how to then proceed to use the device for your health after reading the assembly instructions. Often people buy the device and it doesn’t come with an English manual. If this is the case, there are links online to pdf manual which will tell you how to assemble he device.

Quite an amazing book. I did 5 minutes of the breathing exercises on the first night I received it and felt an immediate change in my mood the next morning. I have been doing it for 5/6 days and I can feel my levels of anxiety and energy getting a little better every day. I have a chronic illness and am on medication for anxiety and depression as well so for me to feel calmer and a little more energetic is a wonderful thing. I am feeling much more optimistic.

The title of this book is not only grammatically incorrect, it is extremely misleading. In the 166 pages of the book, you have to search very hard indeed to find any instructions at all on how to use the Frolov Breathing Device. Even when you find them, they are not very clear. I bought this book with the intention of buying a Frolov device later on (I live in the UK and, as the devices come from Russia and the Ukraine, the instructions are in Russian). Unfortunately, this book gives me no confidence whatsoever to buy one as the author does not make it clear how to use one. Mr Rakhimov does not seem to realise that a set of 'instructions' (the word is, perhaps unnecessarily, in the title) on how to use the Frolov device should be just that, and he could have done it succinctly and clearly in 2 pages at most. He could also have asked for someone else's opinion on the contents and the English beforehand. A most disappointing book.

Lots of background information, obviously to be read in conjunction with using your Frolov, I noticed improvements in literally days.

Would recommend if purchasing a Frolov device but has great general /buteyko breathing advice as well. The author is very knowledgeable and writes in a style that I like.
