Mouth breathing
The mechanics of how you breathe
Oral breathing vs nasal breathing
Osteopathy can help support your body to retrain into breathing through your nose.
Mouth breathing has been shown to have effects far beyond your mouth - the mechanics and chemistry of mouth breathing lead to changes in facial bones, sinuses, nervous system activation, posture, mood, brain function, heart health, and more.
The best time to treat mouth breathing is in childhood, but all is not lost for adults who are struggling with mouth breathing. There are exercises, stretches, breathwork, and recommendations that can help train anyone to nasal breathe, from childhood to older age.
