Restoring Nasal Breathing - Patrick McKeown

I cannot believe that a 4 minute video helped me more than multiple doctors visits and even 2 surgeries.

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 KZbin and came across your videos. Practicing what you recommended, in only two weeks, I am now jaw pain free. Thank you so much.

[@richardhentworth5612]

you might also need to see a good chiropractor for a jaw alignment. I also saw a myotherapist for soft tissue massage

[@K4113B4113]

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.

[@darksoulsss2618]

You well slowly get better looking to.

[@florencetannock5566]

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!

[@theboyjames3065]

@@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.

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!

[@kazman_6899]

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 $$$$.

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.

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.

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!

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.

[@kdevine321]

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.

[@kdevine321]

@@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.

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?

[@OxygenAdvantage]

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.

It could @trishaavia1186 The best way to improve our breathing at night is to address our breathing during the day. If you mouth breathe during the day it will contribute to snoring.

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 🙏

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

[@greendrummers]

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!

for the first few days does it feel weird or kinda tough to do through your nose first? Does it get better & natural? Curious on anyone’s experience.

[@yynwi]

This was months ago but yes. It feels weird at first but you get used to it and it's better than mouth breathing, so much better.

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?

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

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?

[@OxygenAdvantage]

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.

GREAT EXERCISE

[@SouEuMesmoAqui]

I can't breath at all through my left nostril, never. I think it was a surgery I did. What kind of test can I do to know what is going on? This exercise isn't doing much, but I will insist on it. Thanks

[@calisryan]

Only problem is the moment I lie down, my nose gets clogged. Can't possibly keep walking around when I'm trying to sleep

[@OxygenAdvantage]

Hi @calisryan If you keep your mouth closed and breathe through you nose, usually it shouldn't clog but that can change when we're in bed. Try propping yourself up with a few pillows. If you're lying flat, don't lie on your back, lie on your side. Left side is usually better. If you sleep with an open mouth (do you wake with a dry mouth?) you may need MyoTape (www.myotape.com) to help keep your mouth closed during sleep.

[@calisryan]

@@OxygenAdvantage thanks for the reply! Didn't expect one. My clogged nose is usually triggered by lack of movement, meaning when i sit down or lie down then it gets clogged, its not phlegm though. I read online that there are tissues in the nose that can get filled with blood and it will narrow the airways, which is why when I move then blood flows to other areas of the body. But I'm wondering how normal people breathe through their nose if blood also gets stuck in their nose tissues. Or is there anything I can do to prevent blood from staying in my nose tissues. I tried propping up my head but it results in me getting bad neck pain because of how bent forward the neck is with a high pillow.

[@OxygenAdvantage]

Hi @@calisryan Learning functional nose breathing exercises should help. When we nose breathe we pool more carbon dioxide and nasal nitric oxide in our sinus cavities. Both of these gases are vasodilators which means they open up the blood vessels allowing for more blood flow to the brain and throughout the body. Also, learning to exhale slowly through the nose helps maintain CO2 and nitric oxide levels and also helps to initiate the body's parasympathetic nervous system, a.k.a., the body's relaxation response. You should start with breathe light exercises to build up a tolerable air hunger. You can then move up to breath holds to build up an even stronger tolerance to carbon dioxide. However, breath holds should not be attempted if you don't have any pulmonary issues, any serious medical condition, pregnancy or a history of anxiety or panic disorder. In those cases, stick to breathe light exercises. Our free OA breathing app has the exercises that will help. 📱 Android Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oxygen.advantage 📱 Apple store: apps.apple.com/ie/app/oxygen-advantage/id1589260950 Thanks for the comment.

[@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order]

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????

[@melrose2455]

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 😭👍

[@greendrummers]

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!

[@Luigi48me]

Wow. I just tried this and noticed how air hungry I get so I’m opening my mouth to breathe. I tried breathing through the nose instead of opening my mouth, and my nose feels clearer. I suffer with TMD and I wonder if it’s from not getting enuf air thru my nose cuz I’m not a nose breather.

[@OxygenAdvantage]

Hi @dori588, Breathing issues and TMD are closely linked so it is certainly possible. If you're having trouble with the air hunger, take a break but only breathe through the nose if possible. Mouth breathing will reverse the good work you have already done.

[@tof_rampz8316]

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 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

[@OxygenAdvantage]

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.
