I cannot believe that a 4 minute video helped me more than multiple doctors visits and even 2 surgeries. All my live I had a problem with my nose, I became a mouth breather and it was impossible for me to leave the house without a paper tissues for my nose. This helped me immediately, thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️
how long did it take to see results and how often did u do these exercises?
how often would you do the exercise per day? i suffer from the same thing!
dude!!!
why I can only understand english but cant talk in english
and can you guyz sleak in english so easily...uhh may be its because its your mother tongue and you guys started speaking eanglish from your birth....I am stupid I think
I am a indian and I learned 3 languages
1- hindi (mother tongue)
2- marathi
3- bangali
I can...type in english but cant speak it fluently😐😐😐😐
HELP ME GOD
@@aweirdcatthatneversmile216 Same with me and I am introvert and I speak very less but Speaking English seems very tedious,
It exhausts me, I fumble alot and from you name I am guessing that you are Indian too and if like me you are not able to speak english then I say start recording yourself speaking English.
Not audio sessions but Video session because, I am doing the same and my speaking skills are better than before.
I am not english i dont understand What is the exercices please
Thank you, Patrick.
After years of mouth breathing, I started using your techniques, nose breathing, mouth taping, neti pot cleansing.....along with sniffing eucalyptus oil.
After one week, I noticed the difference. More zip when I wake up and a reduction of brain fog.
Only drawback is now I smell everything. Including others offensive body odors. But its all good.
Welcome to a healthy life!
OFFENSIVE LMFAO
Sorry to break it to you but your very likely smelling yourself which is why its such an offensive smell
Yes, your sense of smell becomes heightened and you smell odours 5 minutes before other people
My mouth breathing cause severe jaw pain. My New Year's resolution (01/01/2021) was to correct this condition but I did not know how. I searched RUclips and came across your videos. Practicing what you recommended, in only two weeks, I am now jaw pain free. Thank you so much.
you might also need to see a good chiropractor for a jaw alignment. I also saw a myotherapist for soft tissue massage
That's great, Jeff! Another thing that could help with jaw joint pain is giving yourself a slight underbite (just 2-4 mm of jutting your jaw forwards). It should barely be noticeable if at all to anyone but you. What it does it relieve stress on the jaw joint if you have a jaw that is slightly too far set back as is the case for a lot of people. I also got rid of my jaw's clicking sound when I started to work out my jaw muscles with chewing gadgets. And I bet the extra musculature does help in keeping the mouth closed during the days and nights, further benefiting jaw health.
You well slowly get better looking to.
I too had jaw pain for many years and a clicking sometimes too. Since l have been breathing less through my mouth during the day it doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t even hurt when l press in front of my ears where it used to be quite painful. I remember going to the doctors and asking about the pain in my jaw and l was told it was arthritis causing it.
I also thought in the last year of practicing bringing my jaw bite forward. It is possible for me, but uncomfortable. Would it help?
I don’t know!
I did practice got a while the movie star smile as l call it. Showing top and bottom teeth. It’s an effort to bring the haw forward and smile big by showing my bottom teeth as well as top teeth.
Do l look normal?
I don’t know! But not many people l know show their bottom teeth when they smile, even for a photo!
@@richardhentworth5612 A chiropractor is going to do nothing but release the compensations your body has acquired from your jaw being misaligned. It is very likely your teeth are positioned incorrectly in relation to your TMJ. Seek an airways and TMJ focussed dentist.
What a species we’ve became that we need a tutorial on how to breathe properly
dogs would probably search it up too if they knew how to, have you heard how loud they breathe💀💀 they sound like the air tastes nice
This comment is on every breathing video, and it’s never any less ignorant. Who says we knew how to breath properly before??? Maybe the bad breathers died out. Now? Now, everyone survives. But hey, we can do some eugenics if it makes you happier.
Because breathing from the mouth makes you ugly.
It happens
@@xoxo_xoxo.. I’m dead!
This works perfectly, since I'm a child I was told I was suffering from a deviated septum and I had nose surgery like 9 years ago, but I'd always find myself breathing from one side or other side, sometimes fully clogged, sometimes I could breath normally, I did it as Patrick said, for around 10 min I went nasal breathing only before and after the exercises and I can tell right now that both of my nasal nostrils circulate air like they should, I can fully breath through my noses for more time, definitely something worth learnt! Thank you so much Patrick!
Can you say something more about the exercises my friend? What exercise exactly we need to do?
Hello, I have a deviated septum as well. Did u find that the surgery helped?
@@Christoff070 Yep the surgery did help at least to me. I wasn't able to breathe through the nose at all. It will considerably improve circulation and you'll feel a lot better.
This should be at 1m views
@Alfonso Henrik no one does care
I cannot thank you enough I'm really trying to avoid getting deviated septum surgery and turbinite reduction. I feel immediate relief and really so incredibly grateful
I had the surgery done, it let me breathe through the nose for the first time. It may or may not be required for you, try nasal exercises and every natural remedy first.
Oh my goodness. This worked really well. I went fully clogged to not so clogged but able to breathe comfortably through the noise. Thank you.
Hey by breathing through ur nose did it slim down ur face or cheeks
@@nasreenakhuda try mewing
@@acappe895 HAHAAHHA
I’m going to try this. I really hope it helps. I’m such a mouth breather because of allergic sinusitis.
Nasal / deep breathing has changed my life
me too!
@@neuvisean1739 Do you see results fast? I've been trying to breath through my nose as much as possible but sometimes I simply can't because one nostril is blocked so I am forced to breath through the mouth just as described in the video?
@@noahvanderstap6501 Try to breath though your nose even if one nostril is blocked. Use the exercises on the video and keep using your nose to breathe, I was just like you.
@@yynwi are u sure that only breathing through your nose will help enough? I am breathing through my nose most of the time but just through one nostril. Will breathing through your nose as much as possible fix the problem and make sure that you can breath through both nostrils? Or do you need these exercises? How many times a day?
I've been a mouth breather for quite some time, I blamed it on allergies. I saw a Rogan clip in mouth breathing, and realized that I'm a mouth breather.
Thanks for the exercise, my nose is clear and now I can breathe!!!
Hey by breathing through ur nose did it slim down ur face or cheeks
Did this widen the passage ways?
I’ve been a mouth breather since I hade upper and lower jaw surgery at 17 now 24 and fed up with mouth breathing I joist want my old nose back to breathe again
@@97AshleyRose Nice reminder, can't believe it has been 3 months. Some days I forget to do the exercise, but if my nose clogs up I'm back at it.
@@nasreenakhuda I don't think so...
@@pdxmateo9022 hey by keeping tongue on palate and nose breathing did ur chin get longer in length? (Elongate)? Pls reply.
Mouth breathing is my number 1 sports problem. THANKS for sharing.
That's absolutely amazing. Had a stinking cold all week, just tried this walking around my kitchen. It cleared the nasal airways, I'm amazed. Thank you. Will now watch all tour stuff on breathing. I've also ordered your book. Cheers
This sounds like EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Great stuff! I'm going to dig deeper. Thanks doc!!!
I was suffering to breath just now...lord knows you helped me a great lot....thank you so much
Years later and the technique still works. Both of my wife’s nostrils were swollen to the point she could not eat and breathe at the same time. I gave her an advil to help with the inflammation but as she was waiting her nostrils became swollen and almost shut. I found this video and within a few minutes she was able to eat - and breathe- again. Thank you!
Just read your book, will implement these strategies and share with friends and family that may need it. You're the man! People need to know this
Thank you for sharing and feedback. Patrick
Never heard of this tehnique anywhere, tried it and it works. I cannot thank you enough as nose breathing is an important matter for me and I believe for many others. Thank you so much
I read an article on mouth-taping and started about a month ago. BEFORE I couldn't walk my dog while nose breathing! I felt starved for air. And always had one nostril clogged. Woke up with dry, dry mouth.
After a month of mouth-taping I am breathing normally through my nose while walking, waking up feeling rested, both nostrils clear and notice I'm breathing through my nose normally without thinking. It's a remarkable change and I haven't even done your exercises yet. I'll start them today.
Nose breathing changes everything!😊
Thank you for this very sensible video, l like teh diagrams, and am enjoying the fact that Patrick is looking glowing and healthy in this. His eyes shine bright! l had forgotten about exhaling, pinching the nose and walking around, l always remember the shaking of the head but l will practice that when my hips stop aching from the huge march yesterday... thanks again, keep going with all this very important breathing work and the kind wisdom and words.
I seriously doubted this would have any significant effect. I figured it may help a little for a few minutes but I gotta hand it to the Doc. It worked very well. If I have to do this once per day or even a couple of times per day then I will consider this the best solution to my nasal breathing problems. I just can't get that deep satisfying breath when I'm breathing through my mouth. I'm sure my symptoms are not as severe as others on this thread and I've never seen an ENT but I do have a very narrow nose and breathing through the right nostril has been a long time struggle. This really helped. Even if only temporary. It's worth a try for anyone who might be skeptical. I might even buy the book. Thanks Doc!
Thank you! this was the WHY I was looking for. - it works - allergy season! and hating taking any more allergy pills. Youre a gem Patrick. And just bought your new book! ( aug 2020)
Thank you Patrick. I've had rhinoplasty 10 years ago. Wish I tried this technique before I went under the knife (and hammer and chizel!!). However, it is helping me now and I'm just trying a few things. I would like to lose the netti pot now. I'm getting your book and I'm going to fold these practices into my life. Thank you for all that you give for free.
Hey there! My one nostril is totally blocked. Do you think I can open it with this techniques and avoid surgery?
This helped clear my nose and helped me to breathe better through my nose after a week of troubled breathing through my nose. Thank you!
THIS HELPED SO MUCH WITH MY ASTHMA THANK YOU
This works. Please try it. I have enlarged turbinates and have been suffering from not being true for more than 10 years. After doing this excersise, I immediately saw the difference. Thank you.
God Bless you showing us to improve our breathing i think it will change my life
Amazing video!!!!!! 2 thumbs all the way up!!!!
this worked great!! thank you. my nose is always clogged and that’s why i breathe through my mouth
That's great news. Boxing growing up taught me that I was supposed to bite down on a mouth piece to protect the jaw from heavy shots. The only problem about breathing threw the nose was getting punched in the face, snot, blood.. Difficult juggle sometimes. Later on in life I just learned to mouth breath in social settings to be polite due to the noise from a deviated septum. You can't tell that much by looking at it, but it's a windy road up there. Not always the funnest at times.. I'm with ya! I believe I first saw your book years back, it's on my list.
Thanks & God Bless! I've subbed.
I sent your info to a RUclipsr named Dan Rockwell. You should investigate his story/claim about The Wim Hof Method. The kid had a seizure from it. I feel it's important you know in order to help guard people against it. You'd be arming us against pseudo methods. I hear a story like that & I start to think someone could die. It would've been an absolute ridiculous tragic waist of life.
Good luck & God Bless as always!
@@Southernburrito The WimHof method and people like Elliott Hulse advocating open mouth hyperventilation type exercises ruined my life. Over time I developed depression, insomnia and horrendous anxiety from the practice. I'm so glad I found out about Buteyko and I'm slowly restoring normality to my body.
It's interesting when you develop symptoms that your GP will label as depression or anxiety despite having no apparent triggers. We should address the patients breathing as a priority first, there is however, no money in that though.
Thank you very much for this.
God bless you 🙏
This is incredible !! Thank you very much
After about 3-4 days of only breathing through my nose, it became MUCH easier to breathe through my nose. After a day or two I had a few days of sinus headaches, then, boom, everything was clear and easy breezy for me.
Idk if you will see this but I’ll ask.... I just am starting the transition to breath through my nose again... I had bad stomach issue which reverted me to mouth breathing.... for the first few days does it feel weird or kinda tough to do through your nose first? Does it get better? Curious on your experience.
@@Ardisi2113 im going to reply because this person never did but yes it is uncomfortable for the first few days because of the fact theres less air and it feels weird, but after a couple of days you'll get used to is
Thanks goodness this is normal. I was beginning to worry 😅
Great Video. Thank you.
Patrick, it's an honor to breathe the same air as you. Cheers!
Thank you brother! God bless ans enjoy the New Years!
Feels like everyone else here experienced life changing results except me. Oh well, I'll keep trying and see if it works better over time. Have to wait nearly 2 years to see an ENT anyway.
That really worked for me. Thanks
Thank you!
Thank you, Doctor . This is working.
There is no way this actually worked. I broke my nose a few years ago and never got it fixed (silly me)
I have struggled breathing through my nose for such a long time until I saw this video. THANK YOU!!!
How would you have got it fixed? This idea that they can just snap the septum back in place within a week is weird to me. It doesn't account for the inner structural damage. That's more of a cosmetic fix. If you're talking about correcting it surgically, there's no guarantee that this will unblock the passageway/s -- and it may not be a permanent fix (could re-deviate within a few years). It's better not to injure the nose, obviously. Unlike other bones and cartilidge, the nose is so sophisticated that it cannot just heal itself. I don't know how fighters fight. All of them must be damaged in terms of breathing, sense of smell, illness, etc. There's no way they're bringing those things back to their original functioning after one or two hits, let alone a half dozen. They should be bringing light to the dangers of this. You don't see much about the preservation of the nose in our culture, and probably because it's big $$$$.
Thank you so much doc this truly help
Thank you thank you thank you! Helps so much! Had a bad deviated septum my whole life and after now having it fixed I can breathe through my nose and the years I struggled through terrible anxiety, panic attacks and depression as well as other health issues that now breathworks and the simple fact of slow mindful breathing for a year through my nose has helped in ways tremendous. yes it is very sad that we need a tutorial on this but none the less thanks Patrick
I have the same problem and I find that I get sick a lot and don't sleep very well because of my mouth breathing. I have considered getting surgery for my deviated septum, but I'm not sure if I can restore nasal breathing without it. How much did your surgery help? Was it worth it?
How has this video helped you if you got a septoplasty? That seems to be against these surgery-free exercises.
I'm tired of feeling like I'm breathing through coffee straws! Gonna try this.
These masks don't help either I feel I've gotten worse as a mouth breather. I'm incorporating this too!
I’ve been breathing through coffee straws for like 2 months now, so confused as to why I feel like I’m being smothered all the time
Serious question, try notice does your breathing get better while watching porn, during masterbation or while playing guitar (if you do)
I felt seriously unable to take full breaths regularly for 7 years but those activities stopped it tenporarily which suggests something stress or anxiety related and if so,
you can work on reducing those things.
It worked ! After 5-6 tries !
It absolutely does @kaanismyname9681!
And sometimes it takes a few attempts but the relief can be amazing.
Don't forget to keep breathing through the nose or it may block again.
Thank you ❤️
GREAT EXERCISE
Actually worked and better than I expected. Wow.
It really does work @JackisCharming.
So glad you could take advantage.
Thanks for commenting.
great guy and great vid👏
Thanks for watching and for commenting @apworthy
I love you. Thank you
This video is a life saver…. literally
Thank you and God bless.
It worked! Thanks man!!!
This guy looks really good and sincere man!
This works! I also have taught myself to breath through my nose. I tape my mouth shut ( lol) at night time and breath through my nose.
Great! I have always been thinking about this technique of taping my mouth but the idea of not breathing at all scares me.
I wish I could find that video again where the guy said deep breathing was bad mouth breathing was bad and showed the tape used for taping the mouth closed at night
@@AaizaTahreem I have been doing this for about 3 or 4 months now. When I first started my nose was always plugged up. I had no problem when I taped my mouth in the beginning. My nose is no longer plugged either. So happy I came across this Doctor.

This exercise with holding the breath worked wonders. I just tried it (I always all my life have "congested" airways, because of allergic reactions, and I just did the exercises for 4 times and felt a lot more easier to breath through the nasal airways. What would you recommend for people with allergic reactions to help them breath more through the nose than the mouth?
Thank you so much for the nice tip. This topic isn't talked about often enough. Strengthening nasal breathing should be part of basic care for your health.
Great vid, I wish they had told us this tuff at school instead of finding out 30 years too late. Never mind.
Omg how does this work so well lol im 1 month post endoscopic surgery- suffer from severe sinunitus and can STILL not breath through my nose. It just feels like a straw that's bent and you can't get liquid out of it. But this actually worked....
Thank you so much
Thank you sir
I have been nasal breathing for some years now, I swear by it lots of improvements, the reason for this comment, a few days ago I was waiting for a bus, four school boys were in the que, one had braces on his teeth, his mouth was very open all the time and his chin was very weak, a sad sight.
Thank you. I do the exercise now midnight because I feel difficulty in nasal breathing
Thank you

I have always been a mouth breather since childhood due to a frequently blocked nose (probably through irritation caused by dust from our coal fire as it subsided slightly after getting central heating). As a septogenarian suffering from Tracheitis cough & recurring nose stuffiness I would liike to be able to breathe through my nose but since I suffer from SVT ( heart palpitations) I find I don't get enough oxygen when I try to breathe just through my nose - measuring my oxygen levels when mouth breathing show they are normal- & sometimes my heart rate kicks off. Have you any suggestions how I might be able to do your exercises without causing this problem as I am sure nose breathing would help alleviate the problems in my windpipe.
Should also show the exercise as well!
I have nasal polyps.... Blocked 100% of the time. I'll give this a go as have been trying the Wim Hof method for 2 months. Hard when you can only breathe through mouth.
It work for me perfectly 😍
Preciate it
You don’t breathe through both nostrils, just one if y’all feel like you’re being smothered. You kinda breathe through both but more on one side than 100% on both sides, look up the nasal cycle
Fax
True. But if you've ever had one nostril completely open and another closer to closed, it feels like you can't breathe. It's almost better to have both completely open or closer to closed.
Since i'm a kid i always get cold, so i always breath in the mouth, and now i know that nasal breathing is more important, i'm now trying to practice it
Hey Tim, same with me here, always had colds, bronchitis, asthma even and now blocked sinuses, but since l heard about the Buteiko technic a year ago, l have been consciously in the daytime closing my mouth and gently breathing through the nose, and it has become a habit that l very rarely break - only sometimes at night my nose gets stuffy and l start opening my mouth to breathe but l semi awake and close it again. It has become a lot easier and l would also say even though l am 42, my facial bones have changed slightly, l seem to have a better bone structure, but there is still work to do. Good luck!
I didnt even know i was mouth breathing until my late teens
I'm going to try this immediately, and follow your channel. I wanted to ask you or the readers something: Is it true that nitric oxide is only produced through nose breathing?
you advise breathing through your nose: when inhaling or also exhaling? thanks
Really works
Hi sir patrick ive try your nasal breathing im a cyclist and its work out, there is a climb that is so stiff I could not finish ive walk with my bike(roadbike) but when I try nasal breathing ive done it until top,
Maybe you can use this verse in the bible for those people who are christian or into religion for persuading them to go get back in nasal breathing.
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:7
King James Version (KJV)
See God gave the breath of life first in nostril not in mouth
Thank you sir patrick more power to you and your team😊
What if you have a really high palate? I think mine is stopping me breathing when laying on my back. If you have any non surgical tips for this, please comment with a link 🙏
it quite helps me and quite doesnt when i start breathing after this excercise its like much better i need to do more i think
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, I ask Divine Intelligence and Love to support and bless you always. Thank you so much🙏🏽💜
Thank you for the video. I have had som focus about nose breathing lately and I will for sure try out your technique. Some kids are doing it good at school and other is not doing it good. Do you think nose breathing can have something to do with it?
Hi, yes, nasal breathing is very important. The child should be explained that when they breathe through the nose, they look more intelligent, that nasal breathing is good for sports, good for dental health, good for concentration and school, etc. You can also visit our pages for children buteykoclinic.com/crookedteeth/ and buteykoclinic.com/buteykochildren/ to find out more.
@@OxygenAdvantage Thank you for more tips. Itś all the small details that is so important. Thank you.
Thank you for this technique, it works for me. I am curious to know how or which software you used to have the subtitles automatically on your video? Thank you.
You may have to google that, or seek it on youtube, there must be lots of helpful "how to" videos. Those guys l doubt would have the time to reply to you and help you with subtitles

so breathe in through nose then hold it in while walking around and slowly exhale while walking around. then rest. and repeat.
correct?

The congestion comes back when I sleep, I want to nose breathe when I sleep
Hi @ayrohn5490,
Practising functional nose breathing exercises during the day is the best way to improve our breathing.
But that good work can be reversed with mouth breathing during sleep.
We advise using our own specifically designed mouth tape called MyoTape: myotape.com/.
It uses elastic tension to keep the lips sealed while still allowing for coughing, talking, etc.
How many intervals of this is recommended?
Patrick please can you explain when im sitting should only my belly fill whith air or should i fill the belly then the chest ?
It really worked
Hey by breathing through ur nose did it slim down ur face or cheeks
Thanks it sure help me breath better but why do i felt stomach discomfort after doing so
Because your Using your diaphragm and it's bringing up old memories that have emotion attached. Like you get a feeling in your stomach accompanied by a specific thought Look through the thought and unidentify with the emotion and thought simply observe . You will feel progress in your life
When I take a big deep breath in through the nose both of my nostrils close up, luckily I can still get some air in though. It is still happening even with a breathing strip on my nose. I am going to experiment with taping my mouth closed, at night and a bit during the day as well. Also, I have had a very weak sense of smell for many years, sometimes I can't smell at all, sometimes I can smell OK but even then I can't smell as well as I would like. Can I expect improvement, if I ensure that I eradicate mouth breathing????
I can’t smell for many years and when I was working I used lots of chemicals to clean without realizing that it is smells bad and could harm my breathing pattern. I was not able to breathe properly and had various BOILS AROUND MY NOSE AND FROM THAT DAY ONWARDS I USE NASONEX SPRAY ON AND OFF BUT IT IS REALLY NOT HELPING ME. Please help and advise. Thanks
Not me walking around the house at night holding my nose
Thank you for the exercise, Patrick. Do you advocate taping the mouth shut when you sleep and is that a good idea if one has rhinitis? TIA
Hi Jing. Rhinitis - common symptoms are a stuffy nose, runny nose. For nasal problems - the only way to deal with nasal congestion is that you hold your breath until a strong air hunger. If allergic reaction with stuffy nose is present, then you need to do strong breath holds. Nasal rinse with good quality sea salt would be helpful as well as breath holding. Also, nose breathing during sleep is very important. Nose will be less stuffy if you tape up. You need to breathe through nose at all times during physical exercise. This is tough at the beginning but gets much easier.
Ive had an unhealthy breathing pattern since i was a child went to a lot of doctors everyone says nothing is wrong with my heart lungs or anything and have anxiety thinking i cant breathe maybe this will help 😭👍
l hope you practice it, it really helps. Maybe you can practice it with some light meditation if you can manage..it is hard, l know..l am struggling to meditate but when l manage and do breath at the same time l feel amazing for 2 days!
If I do this daily will it improve it over the long term?.....or is it just a temporary thing?
Patrick, I appreciate what you're doing with this very important issue. I've watched your vid 3 X times now, and tried this a few times, w/ mixed results. I'm writing to request more specific direction as to the exercise. 1st step, check, small breath in and small breath out, then pinch nostrils. I understand the next step, walking around, will vary w/ each person (waiting to feel hunger for another breath), but about how long should this take? And "then let go and breathe in through your nose" and "Rest a minute with normal breathing" please provide specifics. i.e. should we go for deep breaths, if normal breathing is through the mouth, should be we breathe that way?
Hi, Abby. Normal breathing is not through the mouth, you should always breathe through the nose, both during the inhale and exhale. Here is the nose unblocking exercise explained in detail: Take a small, silent breath in and a small, silent breath out through your nose. Pinch your nose with your fingers to hold your breath. Walk as many paces as possible with your breath held. Try to build up a large air shortage, without overdoing it. When you resume breathing, do so only through your nose. Try to calm your breathing immediately. You should be able to recover normal breathing within 2-3 breaths. Constant nasal breathing. If your breathing is erratic or heavier than usual, you have held your breath for too long. Wait for a minute or two before repeating the breath hold. Repeat this exercise five or six times until the nose is
decongested.
@@OxygenAdvantage Patrick thanks so much, that clears it up for me, and I will do this exercise differently going forward.
How often should we do this once a day?
I really want to believe you that this process will eventually work. However, I have been trying this method for about 3 weeks and I still have to try the nasal decongestion method 30 times a day or more. After doing the method, my nose is only clear for a couple minutes then I have to once again labor with continuous concentration to pull air through my nose to breath. After about 15 minutes I can't keep it up and my nose has started to fully clog. I have sever rhinitis and I literally can barely pull air through my nose. Even with large nasal dilators like the Turbino, I still can't breath through my nose. I don't have a deviated septum, its just purely rhinitis. Occasionally everything work like its supposed to and I can breathe through both nostrils, but 80% of the day I can't. I also have pretty bad nasal collapse, so doing intense physical exercise and solely breathing through my nose is super difficult, loud, irritating, ineffective, etc. etc. I'm trying everything I can to fix my sinuses, and I was hoping this was the cure! Unfortunately it hasn't been.
Kevin Devine I've been using the Buteyko Method for 10 months and have experienced improvement in nasal breathing , slowing the breath really helps. I'd say more but my keyboard is acting up and it's taking me forever to type.
Try the wheat belly diet, in addition to the breathing exercises. Grains are very inflammatory and could be worsening your situation
@@mikemaldonado9960 Thanks for the input. I've been eating keto for about 8 months and essentially eliminated grains from my diet. This hasn't helped with the rhinitis. I might try giving up dairy for a bit and see what effect this has. I'm also starting my second 5 day fast today. But last time, I don't remember my sinuses clearing up any more than usual.
Hi Kevin. Nose will be congested until your BOLT score is at least 25 seconds. You need to get a higher BOLT score.
You need an instructor. Its not so simple. Yes, believe me. It works. But you need help with it, as you have more severe rhinitis. Nasal dilator should help temporary. Wear during sports and sleep. Slow breathing and practise strong breath holds. Sometimes, its worth spending 100 dollars to get expert advice. Check our 2 hour clinics (live face to face). See learn it on Oxygenadvantage.com. Regards, Patrick
@@dan27music Hi Dan, thanks for the advice. As I mentioned above months ago, I was eating KETO and eliminated wheat from my diet for months. I still had rhinitis daily. Having moved past KETO to explore other food-associated issues, nothing changed/improved. I even did visit an Allergist MD who told me that I did not have any food allergies and an allergy to wheat expresses itself rather immediately, which I do not have. After having stayed pretty strict with the Oxygen Advantage protocol, I have nearly (85%) cured my chronic rhinitis!! I am no longer on ANY medication and can even breath through my nose while running which is completely crazy to me. However, I still suffer from an unknown trigger to nasal congestion since it will creep up in random times throughout the day and especially at specific activities like sitting on my couch. I think I am just super sensitive to dust/pollen/dog hair/ things I tested super allergic to 5 years ago before I received 4 years of allergy shots which did not improve anything. In conclusion, I am very happy with the results of this protocol as it nearly cured my ailments. However, I think my nasal passages are still deformed like the illustration of the child with the poor nasal pathways AND have a moderate allergic reaction to most air-borne particulates which still manifests as mild rhinitis. I wear a Turbine nasal dilater at night to help open the nasal passage to breath. Oh, also I am upside down like doing a handstand in yoga, I immediately get congested in my nose and can't breath, don't know whats up with that either. Possibly my nasal passages are so small that even a change in blood pressure around them completely closes them up. Still exploring information around that issue.
