As a chronic anxiety sufferer I recently learned in the last year that this was a HUGE part of my chronic anxiety symptoms that were caught in a loop. Started affecting my sleep. After literally 2 days of practicing I see a major difference in anxiety and ability to fall asleep. Amazing! This is the stuff that should be taught in school and to doctors!
@@nahuel1978 Consciously breathing through my nose instead of my mouth. I had a tendency to breathe with my mouth slightly open and take too many shallow breaths.
Sharing Dr Berg's notes: When you restrict airflow by breathing through the nose, some very interesting things occur. You actually get more oxygen delivered to your tissues when nose breathing than when you breathe through your mouth. When you breathe through your nose, the sinuses help moisten the air as it goes into the lungs. This protects the lungs from irritation and inflammation. Your nose also helps filter the air as it goes into the lungs and can protect the lungs against pathogens. CO2 isn’t just a waste product. It’s essential. It takes CO2 to push oxygen from your blood into your cells. A few potential side effects of sinus surgery are dry sinuses and difficulty breathing. You need the mucous membranes to balance out oxygen and CO2. Oxygen therapy and certain conditions can also cause low CO2. Low CO2 can cause the body to be more alkaline, which can cause low calcium in the blood. Both of these issues can lead to a myriad of symptoms. When you breathe through your nose, you can increase the amount of oxygen in your cells by about 20%. Nose breathing helps increase the right amount of CO2 in your body to push oxygen into your cells. This will help oxygenate your brain and muscles, especially when you sleep and exercise. Increasing the oxygen in your cells can also help with stress. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
I need to scream this from the rooftops because it synergistically works with what Dr. Berg is saying. I hope he does a segment on this. I got one of those o2 trainers (Bas Ruten o2 specifically) that restrict your breathing to increase lung capacity and has a ton of other benefits like reducing blood pressure. I tested before and had 128/82. After doing 5 minutes I tested again and had 94/66 and it has stayed near that for over an hour. I take amlodapine for BP control and it’s usually in the 130s over 80s so I’m pretty impressed with one 5 minute session. Now when I nose breath I can feel my diaphragm expanding instead of my chest and my breaths are deeper and longer. My blood oxygen reader always says my blood oxygen is 94 but after using this it was 100. Studies show using an o2 trainer is as effective or even more so than exercise and blood pressure meds and I believe it already.
I've found that breathing techniques can make all the difference in the world. Learned a lot from LaMaze Class decades ago, then meditative so, rhythmic breathing. Helpful for diagnostic imaging, visits to the dentist and so many things. Nice to be reminded about nose breathing.
The amount of knowledge you have is stupendous! I was just in need of this. It's never too late to correct things that have been wrong all our lives. Thanks Dr Berg.
I had a brother that was a mouth-breather from being asthmatic and sinus problems. He had his 1st heart attack at 41 and died from a massive one at 50. He walked a lot in his job and played golf, baseball, football- he was very physical. Makes me wonder if the breathing contributes.🤔♥️😪
great video, i have been nose breathing intentionally for the last year or so, it has made a significant positive impact on my daily life, to the point i can nasel breathe in zone 3 or 4 , without resorting to my mouth
Lucky I've been doing yoga since 15 years ago. Yoga has gotten me into the habit of breathing through my nose, especially in more strenuous poses. And in 2020, I took Buteyko's breath training. Through Buteyko I am even more convinced that inhaling and exhaling must be done through the nose. Only opening the mouth to eat and talk. Thank you for the detailed and scientific information 🙏 So much love for you and your family ❤️❤️❤️
I went under knife for deviated septum in the hope to breathe more freely. Difficulty breathing through my nose remained for decades. I heard about success with FESS. The cost can break the bank.
When I was six I took swimming lessons at the swimming pool on the military base I lived on. We lived in hawaii. The swim instructor was a local from somewhere on oahu. I think he was Hawaiian or perhaps Japanese. At the beginning of every lesson we did a series of breathing exercises involving various head and face positions and depths in the water. We were basically learning how to take breaths while bobbing our heads in and out of the water, and how to not inhale water. I thought we were learning how to be able to not drown, in other words. However, I noticed that there was always a massive glob of snot in the water afterwards. And I also noticed my nasal breathing was smooth and unrestricted. No stuffy nose for almost the whole week after, too. Once I learned how to swim I went to the beach instead of the pool, because who goes to a pool when they live in hawaii. The salty sea water was even more amazing. My sinuses opened up and my head felt lighter than air. Nowadays they make sinus irrigators and of course there has always been the neti pot. But if I lived near a beach I think I would make a habit of taking an early morning dip to really flush out my sinuses every day and keep them sparkling clean.
Nose breathing is also very important for creating nitric oxide. There’s plenty of videos on RUclips about nose, breathing, nitric and even humming through your nose to create more nitric oxide. There’s also videos on mouth taping at night, so you can breathe through your nose while sleeping.
@@beverlybodnar5250Be carefull. I had dry mouth as well. Found out I had apneu. CPAP machine was of no use. I Needed nose surgery to open the sinuses and night braces to create overbite to keep my throat open. Don't just tape your mouth without medical consent
@HeleneNutrientsRich Tnx for the concern but my issues with this have been solved. Nose job and night braces to keep my throat from collapsing reduced the apnea from 48/h to 2/h. I would suggest anybody struggling with this to look for a solution until you find something that helps your specific case.
I have found that because I had tongue thrust as a child that I was mainly a mouth breather. I corrected that with tongue exercises strengthening the tongue muscles while keeping it at the roof of my mouth. And now on my nose breather...
Love you Dr. Berg!!🤗 I have always done this. Intuitively knew, even as a child, that it should be done. Especially when exercising. TY for all u do!🙋♀️
58. Often wake myself by open-mouth snoring. One $10 chin strap later and I'm staying down longer and waking up feeling much better. Thanks doc...yet again.
Back in grade school breathing exercise while rising up on our toes, I discovered I had nasal problem. The more I breathe through my nose, the more I can't breathe. It triggers nasal congestion that I end up gasping for air.
@@KaanBeskardes Try nasal spray. There are a couple of different ones otc, so you may need to try different ones. It worked for me. I don't need it anymore because I figured out it was dairy that caused the congestion. I did a couple of long fasts and my problem with dairy has gone away.
I'm just here to say that if you are landing here with ME/CFS due to other videos about it here and Thiamine Deficiency, understand that these things don't really apply to someone with a nervous system that is shut down. If you are breathing in and out constantly, and find it really hard to hold a breath because of the CFS state, this stuff can maybe help you get a handle on your breathing, but won't have the same effects as a healthier person. When not in a crash and recovering, absolutely, nose breathing and breathing exercises do wonders. I also find that during the recovery phase, all these responses are exaggerated and over the top, because your nervous system has been shut down so long. Because of this, making sure to not get out of breath is critical to avoiding crashes.
Hello doctor, your video is, as always, very informative and helpful. I had a good idea for a video: the benefits and harms of artificial vitamins, such as from supplements, as well as which sports supplements are really necessary and which are just marketing. Thank you in advance!
OMG 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉! I can nearly sing that 80's song "I've been waiting for a gir.. video like this." I can't thank you enough, Dr Berg!!!!!!! Thanks a million!!!! That didn't shed light, but a whole LIGHTHOUSE!!!! Since 2014 I've been struggling with cramps which always happened during my intense workouts until I started putting sea salt in my water but they came back awhile later and yeah despite having had 3 septum surgeries, I'm still a bit of a mouth breather (I'm an asthmatic - no bouts in 20 years, but occasionally I do get mild bronchitis) and have all the symptoms you described: dark spots on my lower legs. While listening to your video at the gym, I clammed up my mouth and breathed through the nose a lot of the time. One thing I've long noticed is that there's a connection between good sleep and proper breathing. I'll be watching and listening to this video another 5 times plus taking notes. Thank you so much for all the dignified work you've been doing all these years. God bless you, your work, and family!!🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Berg I have a question, along with eating healthy and organic, what is the best prenatal supplement you recommend taking before, during, and after pregnancy?
Some good guidance. I find a struggle I have when jogging is that I can't seem to get enough air through my nose and end up gasping for air from the mouth. I'm sure it's a matter of time and discipline, but it's where I'm at now.
Look above for my comment. Get yourself an 02 trainer, it increases your lung capacity and stamina. Tons of top athletes use them and it’s quick and easy to do with a list of other benefits.
Started running in March and heard of the benefits of nose breathing. Took a few weeks to get used to but I was breathing through my nose exclusively without realizing it after a bit. Another benefit I found myself is that I dont feel nearly as thirsty throughout my run and after.
You really had to release this right as i got sick and have no choice but to breathe out of my mouth lol. I nose breath every other time. Even when I'm exercising
Very interesting. I’m an opera singer and a lot of professionals would say NOT to breath through the nose as it leaves the voice mechanism a bit closed and not as free and open. But I find it helps me not tank up too much air which is also not great for singing as it causes more pressure. Anyway, super interesting. Thank you!
Getting familiar with all the space in your sinuses has been helpful for my lungs and apnea. Like breathing in a way that it feels like you are getting air behind your eyes and trying to breath through your upper, mid, and lower sinus spaces. It has a relaxing effect.
@@agusy8048 Use medical tape. You can find it at most pharmacies. It doesn’t require taping all of your mouth😂;just a strip in the center is enough to remind you to breathe through your nose.
We had to have one of our children seen for mayofacial therapy after having a tongue tie corrected. They have to retrain people how to nose breath because the palate is often too high in those with tongue ties. That high palate restricts nasal breathing. Its important to train yourself to keep the tongue in suction to the roof of the mouth while retraining. That said some people, especially in the west, have facial structures that are not proper such as tongue ties, high palates, and narrow palates/jaws and will make trying to retrain yourself to nose breathe difficult.
Very useful indeed, looks simple and most ppl takes these breathing lightly, there was a case this month whereby one of our minister got breathing probs, during the parliament on going. Other ministers shouting advising him to take a break ,breath inhale exhale slowly, maybe the stress from "navigating" his ministry i guess,
I learned the Buteyko method (nose breathing) about 10 years ago. At the time I had severe asthma and COPD. By then I had used inhalers for 30 years. Bronchodilatator inhalers may open the airways temporarily but defeat the purpose terribly. Nose breathing has completely stopped my asthma and COPD is almost completely gone.
Question: How do you stop the unconscious opening of your mouth while sleeping? Generally I’m a nose breather. However, I tend to snore on two occasions: when extremely tired, & now, as I’m changing from typically being a side sleeper to sleeping on my back w/a slight incline. ( The intent being to decrease both under eye puffiness by increasing lymph drainage & the appearance & formation of wrinkles. A side benefit has been the complete eradication of hip pain. ) While I am enjoying the benefits of sleeping on my back, unfortunately it has often led to an increase in snoring, & I’m finding, to sleeping w/my mouth open at some point during the night!
What the other person said. Use a small piece of medical tape. A holistic dentist told me that, I'm not just making it up lol. The CO2 balance also affects your mouth pH and can create tooth decay if breathing through the mouth too much. Pretty fascinating.
I always have breathed through my nose but had no idea of the benefits! I always wondered why people breathed through their mouth. Once in a while my husband will tell me that I was snoring the night before. It always was when I was congested. My reaction was surprise and an apology! Lol! Next time I want him to wake me. 😴🤣. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for another informative video that we all need and can use!
I am getting forsus springs tomorrow and they are gonna help keep my jaw forward and mouth shut and I just started breathing through my nose after years of mouth breathing hopefully I can see a good outcome
Thank you, Dr. Berg. I was wondering if you could make a video on how some of us can better breathe through our noises? I have issues with breathing through my noise at times, whether it be mucus build up or congestion. I know if I breathe in cold air my nose opens up and I can breathe better. I was just hoping for some advice from you on how to better improve my nose to breathe through it more efficiently. Thank you for all you do. I've learned so much from you.
Look into Quercetin w/Bromelian with your doctor. It has been a lifesaver for myself and many friends/loved ones with respect to nasal congestion/sinuses/nose breathing.
Please look up Buteyko breathing on RUclips, it’s all about nose breathing… helped cure my asthma. It gives techniques to clear blocked sinuses and congestion. Hope this helps you as much as me. I have also heard good reports with Quercetin as someone kindly mentioned above.
thank you so much for this. i have bad allergies and because of that thought i had to breath through my mouth for more oxygen but breathing through my nose more has releived a lot of allergie symptoms that made it feel stuffed before
Wanna breath easy through your nose? Cut out "all" your nose hair, all of it! That stuff is only good for causing itchiness and collecting boogers. It's not dense enough to filter anything, so just remove it and breath easy. I've been nose hair free going on 22 years, I tune up once a week using the Wahl 05640-600 regular head, not the nose attachment. Try it once, you'll like it. Cheers 🍻

Other ministers shouting advising him to take a break ,breath inhale exhale slowly, maybe the stress from "navigating" his ministry i guess,
thank you
No problem!

Thank you'always from Canada
Thanks for watching!
I learned the Buteyko method (nose breathing) about 10 years ago. At the time I had severe asthma and COPD. By then I had used inhalers for 30 years. Bronchodilatator inhalers may open the airways temporarily but defeat the purpose terribly. Nose breathing has completely stopped my asthma and COPD is almost completely gone.
Did u experience sore throat at night? I cant figure it out
Look up Buteyko Clinic Ireland to retrain your breathing. I don’t get a sore throat from nose breathing, only from mouth breathing.
Thank you ❤Dr.Eric Berg,so many powerful knowledge we can learn from you ❤Thanks again, please take care ❤
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful.
Good job 🙏🙏
Question: How do you stop the unconscious opening of your mouth while sleeping? Generally I’m a nose breather. However, I tend to snore on two occasions: when extremely tired, & now, as I’m changing from typically being a side sleeper to sleeping on my back w/a slight incline. ( The intent being to decrease both under eye puffiness by increasing lymph drainage & the appearance & formation of wrinkles. A side benefit has been the complete eradication of hip pain. ) While I am enjoying the benefits of sleeping on my back, unfortunately it has often led to an increase in snoring, & I’m finding, to sleeping w/my mouth open at some point during the night!
Tape it shut
What the other person said. Use a small piece of medical tape. A holistic dentist told me that, I'm not just making it up lol. The CO2 balance also affects your mouth pH and can create tooth decay if breathing through the mouth too much. Pretty fascinating.
Increase the incline also helps.
@@KenshinPhoenix the increase risk of tooth decay is a major concern I’m having, along w/the increased snoring. So thank you.
@@carimawebb9498 No worries, hope it helps!
I highly suggest reading the book, Breath, by James Nestor for a deep and very interesting dive into that which Dr Berg is discussing.
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge.
If you can please share something about ABPA

I always have breathed through my nose but had no idea of the benefits! I always wondered why people breathed through their mouth. Once in a while my husband will tell me that I was snoring the night before. It always was when I was congested. My reaction was surprise and an apology! Lol! Next time I want him to wake me. 😴🤣. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for another informative video that we all need and can use!
Glad to help!
@@DrbergI've heard that nose breathing also helps to lower blood pressure.

Thank you, Dr. Berg. I was wondering if you could make a video on how some of us can better breathe through our noises? I have issues with breathing through my noise at times, whether it be mucus build up or congestion. I know if I breathe in cold air my nose opens up and I can breathe better. I was just hoping for some advice from you on how to better improve my nose to breathe through it more efficiently. Thank you for all you do. I've learned so much from you.
Look into Quercetin w/Bromelian with your doctor. It has been a lifesaver for myself and many friends/loved ones with respect to nasal congestion/sinuses/nose breathing.
@@interstellaroverdriven6450 Thank you
Please look up Buteyko breathing on RUclips, it’s all about nose breathing… helped cure my asthma. It gives techniques to clear blocked sinuses and congestion. Hope this helps you as much as me. I have also heard good reports with Quercetin as someone kindly mentioned above.
thank you so much for this. i have bad allergies and because of that thought i had to breath through my mouth for more oxygen but breathing through my nose more has releived a lot of allergie symptoms that made it feel stuffed before
Very good !

This guy is good
Wanna breath easy through your nose? Cut out "all" your nose hair, all of it! That stuff is only good for causing itchiness and collecting boogers. It's not dense enough to filter anything, so just remove it and breath easy. I've been nose hair free going on 22 years, I tune up once a week using the Wahl 05640-600 regular head, not the nose attachment. Try it once, you'll like it. Cheers 🍻
Good morning Dr. Have a good day🧀☕🌹🕊
