How do we know if we are mouth breathers?---Tossing and turning, bad breath, drooling, teeth grinding (Bruxism), increase night time urination.
Nasal Breathing: Humidifies the air, filters, warms temperature.
Benefits: decrease snoring, improves sleep apnea, improves REM sleep and quality of sleep, Increases Nitric Oxide (paranasal sinus), improves hypertension, improves immune system, improves cognition.

Sorry guys, I made few spelling mistakes on the board. It was a busy day at work. I made the corrections in the description below the video.
No worries! Thanks for all you do.

I’ve been taping my mouth for over two years now and it really helps.
Can't sleep without it anymore. Been taping almost a year and a half. I also exercise (run) with my mouth closed as well. Found great improvement over time with hill running and track work. Stronger diaphragm, deeper breathing.
I do the same!
don't do it while exercising, we were meant to mouth breath during workouts, at night is fine and I do it too, but during training/high intensity exercises we are designed/supposed to breath through mouth and nose, if you prevent that there might be consequences
@@jackinsonpablanes760 That's interesting. Is there studies on the exercise part? What consequences could happen?
@@Patricia-lz2zo yes, I 've read it on books on the parasympathetic/sympathetic nervous system states, But I was on a reading spring on this topic I don't remember exactly which book, I think it was stephen porges's book or stanley Rosenberg or peter levine.. one of these, to put it simply when we exercise it's a "simulated" controlled fight or flight response, think about a champions league final, those players will give 100% of what they have so they'll take their bodies to the extreme, in that case it's a controlled state of fight or flight, a healthy one because it's not life or death you're not being chased by a tiger, so you want to stay in this healthy flight or flight, you don't wanna suppress it by breathing through your nose only, so this is actually the natural way of how our physiology is supposed to work when under these scenarios
when you're meditating or sleeping yeah, it's the opposite, this is the rest and digest state, slow, long inhale and exhale, 100% through the nose
I’m old now , but when I was a teenager I really hated the dribble on the pillow…so I trained myself to sleep with my mouth closed . Every time I woke up and it was open I would adjust my position so my mouth was most comfortable closed .
Until today I never realised that was probably the reason for my improved circulation … which was great .
Thank you for the information.
The grease board you have is exceptional and the way you present information is clear and concise. Thanks for no music in the background.
Agree!!!
Excellent Dr! Thank you
Thank you dr Sung !!!
Hello Dr. Fairly new to your channel. Thanks for the great advice. Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays 🤗🎄💚
Love your great videos Dr Sung, thank you for all you share with us
Thank you Dr! I ‘ll try it.
I've been doing this for a year. Quit my cpap 2 months ago. Sleep much more sound and can actually breathe through both nostrils. I use small stamp size piece of tape.
Ty Dr this was very helpful
I use a CPAP and started vertically taping my mouth. I have definitely noticed an improvement.
Thanks doc🙏🥂🍾happy 2022
I've been taping for 3 years, it's helped me tremendously. Using 2 vertical strips allows for coughing or sneezing.
I prefer a chin strap. No tape or glue issues on my skin and this helps stretch and lifts facial skin upwards too. Nose breathing for 6 mos now and it eliminated middle of night peeing, no bad breath, good sleep with nicest dreams.
Same! Literally have one on now
Very interesting
Dr. Sung, you have a new subscriber!
I have been using SOMNIFIX mouth tape & now I may try the the 1 strip under the nose to under the chin. I have an adhesive alergy, but I can use paper tape with no problem.
Thank you for sharing very helpful information!
Thank you!
Last year I started it to boost the nasal production of ""NO"" in order to lower blood pressure.. It worked I believe. I eliminated dry sporadic mouth too. will stay with it.
I have difficulty breathing through my nose due to a deviated septum. I use a Breathe Right strip to hold my nose open at night and this works very well for me. I can breathe through my nose at night and for sure I can say it transforms my sleep quality. I actually use just half a strip (cut in the middle along its length) and the sensitive version is recommended if you are using it every night.
Started a month ago. this is so easy. i used the scotch frosted tape and did it vertically. i Don't drool anymore, super deep sleep and feel completely rested in the am. i have MG and i will see if it helps over time with that and comment again. If you leave it on after waking you won't get into arguments or start negative conversations either. Great Video and thanks for all the past ones Doc. Nice to see and hear honesty in medicine today.
Scotch tape? lol, are you serious? I use McKesson Medical Tape 2" x 10 yds.
@@jglee6721
Is that OK to use if allergic to adhesives? If it's a sensitive tape can you get it from Amazon?
Thank you so much in advance for your reply. 🙏🙋♀️
How long until you started sleeping and feeling rested after taping please?
less than a week. make sure that tape has no breathing leak. it is not on correct until you can't breath through your mouth. Scotch tape worked fine but made under y nose look like a coke addict so went to a cloth tape. Don't use it now because after a few months my body retrained itself. Prayers it works for you. warm milk and a few shakes of nutmeg works to just before bed @@paml.6101
We did a Butekyo technique training course a number of years ago with my son who had mild asthma and discovered he was a nose breather. Did the recommended exercises with him at the time and also taped at night for two weeks. He switched to breathing through his nose and his asthma improved so that he didn’t need an inhaler anymore. My GP was really skeptical but I always recommend giving this a go. I was very anxious about the tapping but he saw it as a game and it really worked. Nice to see a doctor review the method,
You mean you discovered he was a mouth breather
@@Tate525 yes he was
I use the medical tape and my Cpap and it works amazing!! I started two weeks ago, and now I cannot sleep unless I tape. When I wake up I really feel fully rested, like never before
A few things - when I was first using the cpap (nasal device, not full mask) the air would go in my nose and out my mouth. I tried a couple of the straps, but they would sometimes let my mouth open. I now use the 3m transpore tape, it's easy to remove, just wet it with your tongue.
I tried this for the first time yesterday and it worked amazing. Normally I wake up with a very dry mouth and feel restless. Today I woke up feeling great with no dry mouth. I was a little scared to sleep with my mouth taped but I practiced while taking some naps during the day and that helped me ease into it.
Thanks sir
Great information, thank you
Very important vid3o.
I am 48 years old and for the past 3 years, I have been getting up to pee AT LEAST 3 times a night. I tried taping my mouth last night and I only had to get up to pee one time. My nasal passages are very narrow, I think from allergies. I noticed today that my nasal passages are more open. I did have trouble last night during my first go at taping my mouth. At around 1am, I woke up and felt like I wasn't getting enough oxygen so I took the tape off and went back to sleep. Then I woke up again around 3am and tried the tape again. I slept the rest of the morning without any issues. For tape, I just used some 3M painters tape that I had around the house and put it on horizontally.
Another vital topic is covered in depth in this video - thanks for bringing into attention the importance of proper breathing. 🙏
Another benefit is not waking up with a sore throat every morning from mouth breathing.
In the past I used a faceformer piece. Now I use mouth tape. But I think I will try the faceformer also. It also helps to keep the mouth shut, and it additionally trains the muscles in the face.
Don’t worry about spelling typos. Besides your incredible knowledge about the topics you discuss, you also possess excellent knowledge of English grammar. It’s extremely rare to hear Americans say “lying down” or “lie” instead of lay when talking about body position. The verb “lie” is so misused. Many do not know the difference between two applications of lie vs lay, body position vs placing or laying an object down. Just a little observation. As a foreigner myself, I can’t help but notice poor English grammar knowledge.
Besides, thank you for acknowledging Dr. Buteiko, Ukrainian doctor, who originated the breathing therapy for reversing asthma, COPD, in former USSR patients. I’m Ukrainian myself and back there, I remember Dr. Buteiko’s great success. I also tape my mouth nightly having discovered all the health benefits. Thank you, Dr. Sung! Excellent videos! 🙏👍🤗😘
Welcome to the channel and thank you for your kind words. Best, DrJin
Have you heard of orthotropics? Matthew Mew talks about the importance of mouth positions. Fascinating subject.
For many years .had sleep issues last ten years .I have woken ,after a few hours
Have practised yoga for over thirty years so aware if nostril breathing
Due to possible virus .my lungs are affected .especially when out .damp or cold weather .and traffic.
I haven't slept but an hour or two at a time since 2017, my neurologist even tested me for Parkinson's which of course was negative. I am definitely a mouth breather whether I am upright or laying down -side sleeper due to multiple spinal problems. I immediately went on to Amazon and ordered a pack of these as soon as I listened to your lecture and I'm hoping for the best. Will come back with my results/reply after I've tried them. Thanks again, I appreciate you and the wisdom you give us so much ❤️
Any improvement??
Keep us updated. Best DrJin
Any changes?
I hope you come back to respond. Im a bit hesitant to use tape so I haven’t dared yet
@@mari97216I’ve been taping my mouth for over a year. It’s been great
Even though I was told that I'm a heavy snorer, I don't notice any differences when I mouth taped the last few months. I've already gone through one roll of tape and will continue to use it as I have a box of tapes. lol
A one-way valve might be interesting, allowing air in through the nose and out from the mouth or nose.
I will give this a try, thanks for the advice. I don't grind my teeth but I clench them. I think I am a nose breather, and I think mouth taping would increase the clenching problem. Any advice on clenching?
Sounds good. But I have so much post nasal drip that I'd probably wake up choking.
Thanks a lot for this rigorous content! Precise, consise, and very informatif
I like myotape the best, and breathe right nose strips :)
I can’t even imagine not breathing through my nose. I am a 100% nose breather.
I believe it comes from thumb sucking as a child. I have never had a cavity and I know it’s because of being a solid nose breather.
Can u use taping with applying menthol based chest rub to minimize the nasal congestion and make the nasal breathing more effective?
I use scar tape. It does double duty by keeping my mouth shut and simultaneously plumping my lips. 😊
Excellent summary of studies, benefits, methods and concerns
TWO BIG questions, though:
Tried it for a week. Want to do a full month
#1: I tape my mouth horizontally, no slit in the middle: necessary? advisable?
I use painter's tape Scotch blue #2090
#2: Should I be concerned about the toxicity of the adhesive on the tape or any possible ingestion would be negligible?
❓🤔❓
Thank you! 👍
Been doing mouth taping with just a 1 inch piece of nexie care sensitive paper tape works perfectly between my lips right under my nose that's all I need. I found this out through James nesters book The Lost art of breathing which I highly recommend.
Benefits for me have been less getting up in the night to use the bathroom my mouth isn't so dry in the morning. My dental checkups have been much better as my gums and teeth are healthier. I will continue with this practice. Hope that helped. One other piece of advice I got from James Nestor which by the way he has several videos here on RUclips about mouth taping, was when you're ready to take the 1 inch piece of tape off run your tongue back and forth like a windshield wiper movement as you take your other hand to loosen up the tape and that gets up all the adhesive and it doesn't hurt at all to do it that way so just using your tongue against your lips to kind of go back and forth to loosen up the tape
Anything on folic acid ? Please !
I taped my mouth for the first time last night and when I woke up this morning I was blown away!
1. I sleep on my right and ALWAYS switch to my left side during the night (and adjust pillows, etc.) but I didn't switch or toss and turn last night -- never moved an inch.
2. I nearly always need to use the bathroom during the night but not last night.
3. My breath actually felt a bit fresher this morning.
It was the best sleep I've had in a long time and will continue to do this.
By the way, I just used a small piece (about 1 inch) of Scotch tape and it worked fine. No special tape needed.
If you want to try out lip taping, please do it the easy way.
First, take a band aid and cut off 1/2 the tape. Apply vertically across lips.
Two, notice you can breath through the side of your month.
Wear about the house and note if you are comfortable breathing through the nose. If yes, give it a try at night.
Note, the tape is to inform you if you breath through the mouth, NOT to prevent it entirely.
If have been doing this for over a year using a 1/8" wide strip. I know it works because at night my saliva will dry on my lips and seal them.
Why is a thin strip better? The band aid adhesive can irritate skin, a thin tape can be moved around easily.
At any rate give it a try, what do you have to lose?
Thank you! Going to try this
I have moderate sleep apnea, what are the issues and benefits of taping the mouth? I taped my mouth last night and it seems like I got better sleep. I want to test if it helps as much or as close to using my cpap machine. I can’t seem to get accustomed to using my cpap mask. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
So hard to breathe through my nose sometimes I don’t think I’d wake up if I did this
Since I was in my twenties my doctor has known that I have a slow growing tumor (most likely benign, she told me) in my right nostril, I asked that it be removed but was told it wasn’t necessary, fast forward 30 years and it’s been troublesome for ten years but no doctor seems to want to remove it , I wake up unable to breathe whenever I roll onto my left side in my sleep.
We cannot see the letters written in orange.
I have mild sleep apnea, AHI of 7.4 and trouble with cpap, so far not able to use cpap. Does mouth taping ever fix sleep apnea without a cpap? Thanks.
How can i know if i sleep with my mouth open?
I been taking Sleep aid so I can sleep. If I do not take sleep aid. I am awake all night. What do you suggest? They say not getting enough sleep cause your blood pressure to go up?
Tried the mouth taping and I do seem to sleep better. However I'm getting sores on the inside of my mouth and I believe its from my canine teeth rubbing on the inside of my cheek. I haven't seen anyone else comment on that issue.
How can you tape your mouth when you have a beard? 🤔
The studies will never be there because there isn’t enough profit involved in being honest. Let’s be honest. Lol
Dr. It’s due to B1 deficiency, I had those type of problems and it went away when I took thiamine. The brain stem requires B1.
Where did you buy a B1 supplement?
@@madisonc2410 Amazon
What happens when you have a stuffy nose every night? Will this cause a problem? My daughter says she gets stuffy nose often when she goes to sleep?
I wonder if a humidifier might help, or maybe nose strips that hold the nostrils open. I use both.
if you are forced to breath through your nose your body automatically clears it out
I taped my mouth and my sister said she could hear me snoring in the next room, so much she was worried.
You should check for nasal polyps, deviated septum or other airway obstructions. Best, Dr. Jin
Serious question: what if you get stuffed up sinuses throughout the night?
I was worried about that too. I have had terrible allergies so that was my first concern.
I bought the 3m tape and tried it during the day like the other person said just to see how it felt. As soon as I was comfortable I tried it at night. I was told I have sleep apnea after I was in the hospital for a poisonous snake bite.
After hearing another Dr say all the detriment of mouth breathing I just went for it!
Even when I’m stopped up I still tape my mouth. I just breathe slowly and it just clears up.
Just take your time and know your body will take care of you❤️
You said if you have really bad sleep apnea it might not be something you’d want to do. How about mild sleep apnea?
Give it a try with the vertical taping method.
@@DrJinSung Thanks!! Will do! 😊
i am guessing my beard will need to be removed before taping.
Not necessarily. You can tape your lips and it should work.
Cant breath thru my nose. It stops up during the night.
I feel the same way, but maybe more pillows to be higher up.
I use two pillows now. Doesnt help.
Use nasal strips or intake breathing
Tried them. they dont work very well for me.@@jackinsonpablanes760
"Definitely benefits" but no studies...? Come back with the studies please.
Is 3m tape effective for this? Its cheap.
As long has it doesn't irritate the skin you should be fine.
I used 3M tape and for the first week I slept so quite that my dear husband kept checking on me during the night to make sure that I was not dead! Besides reaping the benefits you mentioned, I eventually discovered that now my mouth is close naturally when I sleep as well as when I jog. Awesome! Our brain and our body can take care of ourselves. Thank you, Good Doctor!❤🙏😊
@@minabrite encouraging! Good to hear success stories...God bless and I hope it continues to work and improve your life
Yes, 3M tape is very effective. I had been using a similar and generic I bought at WalMart. I also sleep with a COAP full face mask over the tape. It really helped my sleep but found the cheaper tape would loosen during the night. I just started using the 3M tape last week. Best sleep I have had in a long time. My CPAP numbers now are the best ever and I’ve been on the machine for 12+ years.
No bodyis taking about kids. kids dont like the suffocating feelings while many kids are mouthbreathing.. i found a sloution and give them lipright plaster ismade special for kids and is safe while they sleep.
Hi Dr,
Instead of clapping your hand at the beginning of the video ( some people with heart palpitations do not like it,) , would you just smile and say hello? Thanks.
Not to be mean, but you should probably get used to someone clapping on their own channel. You mentioned Jesus in a comment, and if you read Revelation, you know that this world is going to get increasingly more dark and stressful. It’s time to get tough any way possible so we can all help each other through these coming weeks and months. If I could hold your hand, I would, but I can’t. We need to stand strong for our friends and family.
@@tauisuitonu8505 i am not the only one who ask the doctor not to clap his hands. This will help a lot of elderly people.
It is up to the doctor to do what he wants on his channel. I just want to help him to have more subscribers because he is good and knowledgable doctor.
I respect your comment because we all have good intentions for the betterment of the world. Thank you.
@@ThuLe-eh1xe I’m sorry for my comment. I don’t have heart issues, so I shouldn’t have commented like that.
I hope this doc gets more people viewing his lessons also, he has good information. Forgive me, and I hope you have a great Christmas.
@@tauisuitonu8505 every opinion counts as long as it has kind and good intention. Each person is different. So we welcome all opinions. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
I love that 'signature' hand clap!
Hmmmmm….I wonder what Fauci would say? 😷😂
He would say, don't do it! Just because it might improve your health!
He’d recommend that you tape your mouth and nostrils shut.
@@tauisuitonu8505
😃😆🤣😅😂🤣😁so true👍!
Two or three strips should work. More if in public places b
He'd say get the Pfizer medicated tape. It's $4000 a piece and will also prevent COVID if you have 3 masks on while driving.
I tape my wife's mouth shut at night and am thinking about doing it in the day time as well. I now sleep a lot better.
In terms of study’s…. they are far and few between. In other words this video is anecdotal at best. The latest fad today will be thrown out the window and replaced with the next fad in a couple years. What a load of 💩
Anecdotal evidence has some value and should not be ignored. I've been taping for years - no more snoring, sleep through the night, wake up refreshed, no sore throat or dry mouth. These were serious issues I had that are now gone. A simple piece of tape. Not really a fad.
@@michaelfforteyeah this isn’t really that new. To me it is but Ive searched for it now and seen lots of older stuff about it. So it’s not just a new tik tok thing
Studies are anecdotal in nature. Call it a fad, but if it works, it works.
This taping is dangerous. You might not be able to breathe while you sleep.
I think that if the heart is healthy, it helps us sleep. So, take care to have a healthy heart by eating lot of potassium food. 4700 mg of potassium daily, equal to 2 big bowls of salad a day.
Before bed, ask for forgiveness ( in your mind) from people whom you hurt and forgive those who hurt you. Send blessings to you and to all. Pray for you, your family and even to those who hurt you.
Friends, you will feel love and happiness and peace in your mind and heart . You will sleep like a baby. You can repent even in the daytime. Check your thoughts every moment and repent if they are negative. Thinking right is the best medicine. Obey God, Jesus, Buddha are the key to right thinking, to happiness.
Buddha is NOT to be worshipped!! The Lord Jesus Christ is the ONLY Savior of this Lord, please come to Him!!
You do not seal up you mouth so you cannot breathe. The idea is to use the tape as an aid to keep your mouth closed while you re-train your brain to breathe through the nose. The taping improves heart health as you re-learn abdominal breathing. I just use a small strip (vertical) so the mouth is not completely blocked.
Amen! Excellent comment
Why argue about my God is the only God? Respect all religion is first step to be polite , a good quality God want . All religions are created by people not by God .
@@mnayak9348 Christianity is NOT a religion. Religion is man's feeble attempt to reach God by being the very best he can be. Christianity is God reaching down to man to lift him up because man is helpless to be good enough for God's standard of perfection. This is called GRACE. (For by grace are we saved through faith and not of ourselves...it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8)
