Unblock Nose in Five Minutes - Buteyko Breathing Method

I did it 5 or 6 times and noticed only a slight difference, but then I did it one more time and really pushed my head up and down nodding it, and my stuffy ear suddenly popped! My nose and ear feel a less clogged, awesome!!

Trying to sleep last night here with Covid (Omicron suspected) day 4 isolation. Couldn't breath through my nose and sleep was painful through the mouth. This worked a treat for me, just need to be sitting up. Thank you so much for making a difference my life in a small way during this time.

[@elchino9958]

Years before seeing this video and learning of this method, I discovered this for myself; but without the nodding part. I found that when I held my breath for as very long as I could, my blocked nostril opened up; as if it were an emergency reaction to allow as much oxygen entry as possible. Anyway, finding this video is a revelation. Thank you!

[@bosco1234]

Yes, I realised this too. Like how our nose opens up when I go for exercise. So I think it's a natural brain response to reduce the swelling due to it thinking there's pollens or allegens, and that the body now needs more oxygen instead.

[@inko9nito]

Same! I noticed this when I’d just hold both nostrils closed and try to exhale through it

I initially posted here about 2 months ago and am happy to report that this method has helped me considerably with regard to sleeping/breathing difficulties. My sleep has improved, I have had fewer and less disruptive breathing stoppages, and generally wake up a bit more relaxed than in the past. Because of these successes, I will continue to practice your method. Thank you so very much for this illuminating video.

[@tomflower4839]

Yo, it didn't work for me either at first, but its poorly explained imo. When it says "nod your head", they mean to the maximum range of your neck. Chin to chest, then tilt your head back as far as possible. When I originally tried, I had no results, but using this method I required a tissue after each breath.

[@mikegrand4181]

You need to solve the long-term problem: inflammation. Eliminate simple carbs like sugar, grains and beer. Get rid of seed oils and replace them with olive oil or coconut oil. You may need to eliminate lectins, but for most people just doing the first two will be dramatic.

If you do the exercise it will open your nose temporarily. The duration effect will gradually improve as your breathing habit improve and your respiratory is better. Many factors to it though, just check their website. I have followed their suggestions seems to be working for me...

@@thompsontwins4547 try the exercise, because it will open up your nose temporarily. Try using tape on your mouth. The reason why it is blocked is because you're not supposed to breathe too much. There is such things.. The carbon dioxide in your alveolus is low when you breathe too much, you know.. Because you breathe it out... For further explanation about the why, check their website. I can't guarantee the information being 100% correct mechanism wise.. Or getting all the words right.. But i have practice new habit of breathing. I try to breathe less during the day. I exercise my lung muscles (not sure what they called) I use tape on my mouth when i sleep.

Hi Miss Molly. It takes a lot of more. You need to make a concerted effort to nose breathe only. Practise the exercises. Practise slowing down your breathing. Breathe only through the nose during physical exercise. It gets easier. Patrick

[@JohnMoseley]

It's not supposed to be as long as possible. He says, 'until you feel a strong urge to breathe.'

[@eusebiou-say-bee-oh326]

Breathe normally. Usually setting a time for one's self, like 5, 7, 14 or 20 minutes at a time where one is comfortable with. Hence when done regularly each day, one can notice the breathing will eventually lengthen without the necessary effort. The important part is "attentiveness" where if an individual notice themselves focusing on other things, to then "attend" back to concentrating on the breath. It does require practice, patience and diligence but the rewards are more than worth it - especially now when one of the symptoms of the corona virus is loss of or hard of breath and breathing. Clearing the nasal passages as well as empowering one's self through the control of the breathing is a step towards true understanding of independence, individuality, freedom, oneness and awareness of self.

Isabel Posadas if you have sleep apnea cpap is the standard treatment, but it didn't work well most days for me and I still would wake up not breathing or having trouble breathing regularly, sometimes 5+ times a night. It was aweful. So I got Bimaxillary Jaw Advancement and it helped a lot! it has over 90% success rate in curing sleep apnea by opening up the airway behind your jaw, which is the main cause of most sleep apnea. I can finally sleep now without stopping breathing anymore.

[@mediatrix1111]

This is just brilliant. My breathing feels much much better. Is it necessary to pinch the nose to close it? Because if it is unnecessary then I could even do this exercise while my hands are occupied doing some work. Also is the nodding of the head necessary? Because I could then even do this exercise in public while travelling, etc. Thks so much.

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

Hi MediaTRIX, The method works best as is, with head nodding and pinching the nose. It helps to create the air hunger that opens up the airways. Thanks for the comment.
