- By Tom Leather

TAKE a deep breath and get your life back on track. Breathing problems are a cause of so much day-to-day distress bui now there is a drug-free way that could help you. The weather is getting colder and wetter and is only going to get worse over the next few months and that is when breathing problems reach their peak. Aerosure is a simple device that has the power to make a difference. Powered by a rechargeab­le battery, a valve spinning at high speed rapidly opens and closes the flow of air to the lungs. As you breathe, resistance is created, vibrating the chest wall and making the lungs work harder. The breathing muscles can be strengthen­ed - both in and out - which could help reduce breathless­ness. The effect of the device's vibrations comes from its dual-action. Relief can come through the 'Oscillator­y Pressure. mode which interupts the expiratory airflow, which results in vibration stimulatio­ns.
