Wow, this is amazing. I’ve breathed through my mouth my whole life because the airway from my nose was just too narrow. The minute I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth I felt so much more air coming in! Thanks so much 😍😍
i actually am allergic to dust, wish i could just not eat it, so annoying, i hate to dust and the vacuum has to be sealed, ☹️ i've been coughing lately, started when my grand dog came to live with me, so guess i add dander too, i'm trying this method
Oh my god. I just started putting my tongue at the top of my mouth and I can actually breath through my nose. Before, I felt extreme light headed and felt like I couldn’t do anything because of how tired I was all the time but now I actually feel like Im alive. All I have to say is thank you so much!

@Payal Kumari I think it really has helped overall! I've been practicing this for over the past two years and it has greatly impacted my breathing and overall jawline. Its definitely something I would recommend doing since it has stopped me from mouth breathing which is something that should be avoided.
@@nasreenakhuda It didn't make my nose taller or wider but it did make it a lot easier to breath through. I'm not sure if that's what your trying to say but, it did feel like the pathway for air became a lot wider.
I've been breathing through my nose for 3 weeks now. It totally helps me at work, and roller blading. I notice I sleep better. I do t think I'm a night time mouth breather. Overall more relaxed and I don't get hostile as much as I used to.
I never knew your tongue should be resting at the top of your mouth, no wonder why I breathe through my mouth. It feels a little weird it's gonna be a wile before I get adjusted to this.
Sarah Hornsby Thanks! I never knew it's the position of my tounge causing me to mouth breath. This has been a revelation. Thankyou :) Breathing from nose is so natural now I know where my tounge should be.
Why has it taken 45 years for me to be learn about this? I never knew about tongue positioning making all the difference either. Chronic sinus issues for most of my life and multitudes of Dr's over the years. ..and yet it was never mentioned... THANK YOU! !!!
I never leave comments of the thousands videos that I can see, buy in this case there are not words to thank you for this video, so professional, so accurate, so helpful. All my life I have struggled with my breathing. I have tried couple of things, and some point you don't not where to keep checking. This video enlightened me. Thank you so much
See I can breath through my nose. It's clear. But the thing is when I start breathing through my nose and close my mouth I feel like Im suffocating and when I open my mouth to breath I feel much more better. It's like when I open my mouth to breath I feel relieved as if I can feel my lungs filling up with air. Please reply. This makes me stressed🙄
Shubhani Ghai Same!!! Someone brought up and mimic how I breathe so hard and I didn’t even notice and now I’m a lil embarrassed also they said I snore really loud when I sleep
idk if you still have that trouble but try taking a sip of water and keep it in your mouth without swallowing while doing an activity like work or some chores you got to do. I think it really helps to adapt to breathing through your nose as something normal
I tried to breath thorugh my nose for two mins but when i crossed 30secs i yawned , i see this video gave me a great hope ,love from Tamil Nadu and i need your help
I definitely feel like I don’t get as much air through my nose than my mouth and i did the 2 min timing thing and I feel like I slowly running out of air
@@bithaniapaulos8811 hey can you help me... It also to me the same way as u did... So what should I do now cause its very difficult to fall spell as night
Amazingly informative and helpful! Iv been recently noticing this happening to me and I thought it was a habit but didnt know my tonsils had something to do with this!
Maybe you are chest breathing like me? We should do diaphragm breathing and has to slow down the inhale n exhale ( read the james nestor books, or watch his podcast on youtube , really recommended )
I do breath through mouth only when I sleep. I'll try my best to get rid of it. I even tape my mouth for a night and my mouth still open fighting with it🤣 Love your channel. Thank you!
Great video! Oral thrush, candida albicans over grows and causes swelling of the nasal passage, usually it feeds off bad carbs and sugar, I had it caused by the mouth breathing as it is also physical muscle memory issue, you can unblock it by keeping breathing through it as it changes and the holes get bigger, no products needed really, practice breathing through it all day until you faces changes back to the human shape and holes get bigger. it is usually caused by always looking at screens and phones, especially in this day and age, shock horror lol thanks for the info.
Thanks Sarah. Very informative video. I've been suffering from sleep apnea for a number of years, I'm losing sleep, plus my flatmates are getting restless. Watching from London UK.
someone help!! i’m 14 and i knew i was a mouth breather but i didn’t realize it was such a big deal and would change my face! when i was little i was super cute and now i have the face of a mouth breather! can i go back to my old facial features if i continue breathing through my nose?
You can at least try. I noticed a slight difference, it feels like your jaw is tightening up slightly, instead of being convex. I find it's easier to breathe through my nose when I'm standing up or working or walking around than when I'm laying down
If I just sit down I can do it, if I walk/run I need so much air I can't(I get dizzy if I try). I can't breathe through my right side at all, a little bit through left. I wonder if my voice is extremely nasal because of that. As a kid I'd keep my tongue in between my teeth, not anymore though but it was hard to get rid of that habit.
I tried for a while to breathe only from the nose and I was focused a lot on closing the mouth ... but many times I feel uncomfortable and that the mouth needs to be opened to get more air ... Usually the mouth opens automatically when there is no air ... but I have to constantly open in a way Being independent of the mouth has always been automatic ... How do I change the habit of the brain stopping being aware of breathing and mouth for the restoration of the automaton?
Look.... I got through the 2 minute thing but the problem is that..... My nose isn't clogged it my throat that's clogged Edit:omg thanks my tonsils are grade 3 and I do have dust allergies you've helped me so much
You're right. The same thing happened to me. My orthodontist said I have lip incompetence where I can't completely close my mouth because of my overbite teeth ~ which is also the main cause of my shortness of breath. So years have passed I just settled being a mouth breather... until i look at my old pictures and my face is not appealing for me. Practicing breathing through nose is a long way but maybe it will help with the face to change somehow. Idk
Thanks. I'll try these tips. As for my tongue placement, ever since I was a child, I've always folded my tongue in half, which creates suction. Sometimes, I've woken myself up sucking my tongue like a pacifier. I'm 55 and can't fall asleep without my tongue in this position. It's crazy
I've started to breathe in and out through the nose when running at a slow zone 2 pace. Its made a big difference, the reason that started it was inhaling a mosquito. Worse pace stopper i experienced.
Thanks a lot for this video, i never provided a comment on any videos but for this. You really helped me to find the root cause of airway issues like swollen adenoids or tonsils in my child due to mouth breathing and that mouth breathing was caused by his tongue tie. Thanks a lot.
/Hello Sarah, my 4 years old kid have his tonsil grade 3 and his tongue rest in the bottom of his mouth, what would be the best solution for him? What specialist can help him with his mouth breathing problem. Thank you so much.
To unblock my nose I gently squeeze the ends of my nostrils and it opens the airways. Stimulating the nerves seems to open the airway for some reason. I only need to do this occasionally. Sometimes it lasts for days or weeks. I had one nostril blocked and after doing this it is more open than the other. It works for me. It could work the same way as reflexology, I do not know.
Great insights, Sarah! Very straightforward and great illustrations. We have a lot of dust here in Arizona...I'll have to give that some more thought on how to help improve that. Thanks!
I had surgery to unblock my nose and im going to have allergy treatment for polen. But i still breath through my mouth. Do you know any excercise to learn how ti breath correctly?
If I try too much to breathe through my nose, it hurts my head. I have this nasty habit of breathing through my mouth and sometimes it gets so difficult to breathe through my nose and mouth I feel suffocated. Anyone else?
Don't try it, get your nose checked, if you have a deviated nasal septum, it's a structural issue, your nose isn't giving you enough air, so you must breathe with your mouth, no amount of mewing will help that, only getting surgery would, sometimes even chiropractic readjustment works. Trying too hard to breathe through your nose despite feeling suffocated will affect your oxygen levels.
Hi Sarah great video, i am a trumpet player i breath trough my mouth while playing the trumpet(to take air), i have been playing for a long time, i have caught myself lately breathing trough my mouth and i felt my physiology have changed similar to the description of what a mouth breather is, do you think breathing through your for a couple of hours a day (while practicing the trumpet) will turn me into a mouth breather? thanks for your time.
I'm 55 and I seemed to have developed this lately and I don't know why. I'm healthy but going through heavy metal and parasites detox. Could that have a bearing? I have a well formed face so I don't think this has been a childhood problem. During the day I always breath through my nose and I am not congested... however I wake up and I'm aware that my mouth I open. I'd appreciate your thoughts and I'm going to do as you've suggested herr. I've looked into the ice man breaths and I'm starting to employ those techniques as well. Thanks very much for your video
So if my face has been affected by my mouth breathing and im starting to breathe through my nose more, are there exercises to not change but atleast lift up the face such as cheekbones?
My nose and sinuses are awful I have a cold and sore throat and I have literally tried everything to unclog my nose but I have a bad nasal drip in my throat and I had tried ibuprofen and dimeatap (hours apart)that the doctor recommended today and nasal sprays I even used the netipot like 5 times I don’t know what To do
What about when you can breathe through your nose during the day, but you clog up at night? Why does this happen? The minute I lie down to sleep, my nose blocks. It's so frustrating.
My son has been a mouth breather for years, then a doctor also said that he has a large tonsil, now is it because he’s a mouth breather his tonsil become bigger ? Because when I asked him, he said he actually can breath through nose, but it becomes a habit to breath through mouth. Should I do surgery on his tonsil?
Sometime the reason people don't get enough air through their nose is due to 'swollen turbinates'. The nose's bony divider (septum) has 3 ridges in each nostril that run front to back, and which are covered by fleshy nasal lining. With a cold or allergies, this lining gets swollen, but sometimes it's swollen all or most of the time without these conditions. Focusing on breathing through your nose for longer periods, or using a nasal CPAP mask, can help shrink this tissue and improve the airflow. If this does not work, your doctor may recommend surgery, where an RF probe is inserted into this lining, heating it and turning part of it into smaller-volume scar tissue (mine once suggested this procedure). In my case, a CPAP 'nasal pillow' mask did the trick, and I can now breath through my nose for long periods. However, I'm still a mouth breather when I sleep due to the lifetime habit, so to use my nasal mask, I have to use a chin strap and tape my lips. I came here hoping to learn how to stop my mouth breathing without all that contraption, because my nasal pillow mask really is the most comfortable and least painful I've found. A full face mask causes me facial and front sinus pain, plus leaks a lot due to the shape of my face. I've tried the tongue-on-the-roof-of-the-mouth thing, to no avail so far -- I always wake up with the CPAP air pressure blowing out of my dry-as-the-Sahara mouth.
I’m afraid a CPAP mask does not directly address the problem, surgery is the only way. And as to break the habit of sleep mouth breathing, once surgery is completed and patient recovered, used duct tape to tape the mouth shut at night to encourage nose breathing. This is important as the most important time to make breath is when sleeping
@@preetimittal2123 CPAP did seem to help me overcome my swollen turbinate problem. The positive air pressure and the use of a nasal-only mask choice helped enough air flow past to keep down my nightly incidents of apneic episodes. I'm not sure I could say how much my turbinates have shrunk, and I never got such a measurement from my doctor. I used to suffer from a lot of sinus headaches back then, partly due to the swollen turbinates. I have a lot fewer sinus headaches now, usually only during colds and such. So overall, I'd highly recommend CPAP, and a nasal mask in particular, assuming escaping air from the mouth can be controlled.
Plz help me I think I might have tounge thrust and I'm having a really hard time eating and swallowing food I had this for 3 years and I went to the doctors and they said Its all in my head :/ I just need help plz it makes my life tough thx :)
There are some of us that have tried a plethora of allergy tests, neti pots, sinugators, medication and dietary changes all our lives and our sinuses are still completely swollen and blocked 90% of the time, tight as a drum. For some of us, nothing works and we just have to do the best we can.
@Dylan, it seems like you have described my condition. Just wondering if you found any solutions over all these years. Going to see a GP tomorrow as I'm fed up with not being able to breathe for the last several weeks/months
I breathed though my nose for 2 minutes but after I took a big breath and I got my tonsils taken out when I was little so I don't think that's the problem and when I'm at school or some where else I breathe load to and I get so Imbarised can u give me some tips
I'm usually a mouth breather.Even if I want to stop and breathe through my nose, I have a hard time doing it.When I try to breathe through my nose, I feel like I'm suffocating.What can I do about this?
I was a mouth breather and my face suffered. Luckily I fixed it with correct tongue posture. Sarah you are so right, mouth breathing is horrible for your face and health.
Any tips for teaching my 6yo to breathe through his nose more? I have noticed him doing it more and more during daytime and grinding at night more. He does need a tie revision but that and myo isn't in the budget at the moment as I just got my tongue released. For years I've had really bad sleep and pretty consistent congestion as soon as I lie down for bed. I'm working on things with myself and want to prevent him from having the issues I've had. Thanks for this video! Going to check out the other one.

hey can you help me... It also to me the same way as u did... So what should I do now cause its very difficult to fall spell as night
I'm 55 and I seemed to have developed this lately and I don't know why. I'm healthy but going through heavy metal and parasites detox. Could that have a bearing? I have a well formed face so I don't think this has been a childhood problem. During the day I always breath through my nose and I am not congested... however I wake up and I'm aware that my mouth I open. I'd appreciate your thoughts and I'm going to do as you've suggested herr. I've looked into the ice man breaths and I'm starting to employ those techniques as well. Thanks very much for your video
Unfortunately I have a lot of allergies, so mouth breathing has always been natural. My nose has just never been as open as I want it to be.
same, i have horrible allergies and i mouth breath. you cant imagine how upset it makes me i can breath with my nose
Yea. The thing for me is that I just wake up with my mouth open and I fall asleep with my mouth closed
How are you guys doing, are you guys still breath with your mouth still ?
Hi how r you? I can't make easy my jaws when l talk or read? Please could you recommend me?
makes sense. my tonsils are huge. i get tonsilitis like 3 times a year. but don't wanna get them removed.
shishtar shooky it’s worth it
Thank You So Much Ma'am. Very Helpful!!!

Isabella Spencer Same I thought it was normal to breath through your mouth, now I’m paranoid

4:43 should your tounge rest behind you teeth or further back ?
Just behind your top teeth is fine, you can fell by pronouncing the letter “n” and it should rest around there
@@KvVortex thank you, is it like the mewing position ?
Child has multiple series of pneumonia in childhood. So vical cords may be affected. How to treat for that for speech clarity

Very helpful thank you 😊
My nose and sinuses are awful I have a cold and sore throat and I have literally tried everything to unclog my nose but I have a bad nasal drip in my throat and I had tried ibuprofen and dimeatap (hours apart)that the doctor recommended today and nasal sprays I even used the netipot like 5 times I don’t know what To do
Very informative and life changing tips
What about when you can breathe through your nose during the day, but you clog up at night? Why does this happen? The minute I lie down to sleep, my nose blocks. It's so frustrating.
My son has been a mouth breather for years, then a doctor also said that he has a large tonsil, now is it because he’s a mouth breather his tonsil become bigger ? Because when I asked him, he said he actually can breath through nose, but it becomes a habit to breath through mouth. Should I do surgery on his tonsil?
Sometime the reason people don't get enough air through their nose is due to 'swollen turbinates'. The nose's bony divider (septum) has 3 ridges in each nostril that run front to back, and which are covered by fleshy nasal lining. With a cold or allergies, this lining gets swollen, but sometimes it's swollen all or most of the time without these conditions. Focusing on breathing through your nose for longer periods, or using a nasal CPAP mask, can help shrink this tissue and improve the airflow. If this does not work, your doctor may recommend surgery, where an RF probe is inserted into this lining, heating it and turning part of it into smaller-volume scar tissue (mine once suggested this procedure). In my case, a CPAP 'nasal pillow' mask did the trick, and I can now breath through my nose for long periods. However, I'm still a mouth breather when I sleep due to the lifetime habit, so to use my nasal mask, I have to use a chin strap and tape my lips. I came here hoping to learn how to stop my mouth breathing without all that contraption, because my nasal pillow mask really is the most comfortable and least painful I've found. A full face mask causes me facial and front sinus pain, plus leaks a lot due to the shape of my face. I've tried the tongue-on-the-roof-of-the-mouth thing, to no avail so far -- I always wake up with the CPAP air pressure blowing out of my dry-as-the-Sahara mouth.
I’m afraid a CPAP mask does not directly address the problem, surgery is the only way. And as to break the habit of sleep mouth breathing, once surgery is completed and patient recovered, used duct tape to tape the mouth shut at night to encourage nose breathing. This is important as the most important time to make breath is when sleeping
Did you still use cpap...and your turbinates are shrink now???...please reply my father is having same problem
@@preetimittal2123 CPAP did seem to help me overcome my swollen turbinate problem. The positive air pressure and the use of a nasal-only mask choice helped enough air flow past to keep down my nightly incidents of apneic episodes.
I'm not sure I could say how much my turbinates have shrunk, and I never got such a measurement from my doctor. I used to suffer from a lot of sinus headaches back then, partly due to the swollen turbinates. I have a lot fewer sinus headaches now, usually only during colds and such.
So overall, I'd highly recommend CPAP, and a nasal mask in particular, assuming escaping air from the mouth can be controlled.
This video is really really helpful
I cut out sugary beverages completely and my sinuses have cleared up alot and i can breath through my nose alot better
Plz help me I think I might have tounge thrust and I'm having a really hard time eating and swallowing food I had this for 3 years and I went to the doctors and they said Its all in my head :/ I just need help plz it makes my life tough thx :)
There are some of us that have tried a plethora of allergy tests, neti pots, sinugators, medication and dietary changes all our lives and our sinuses are still completely swollen and blocked 90% of the time, tight as a drum. For some of us, nothing works and we just have to do the best we can.
oh god veganism will make it worse dude.
you need nutrient rich raw meat, like liver.
Eat raw animal and you will feel better.
@Dylan, it seems like you have described my condition. Just wondering if you found any solutions over all these years. Going to see a GP tomorrow as I'm fed up with not being able to breathe for the last several weeks/months

How would you maintain breathing through your nose while doing vigorous exercise
I'm usually a mouth breather.Even if I want to stop and breathe through my nose, I have a hard time doing it.When I try to breathe through my nose, I feel like I'm suffocating.What can I do about this?
What about an overbite? Doesnt it affect breathing too?
I was a mouth breather and my face suffered. Luckily I fixed it with correct tongue posture. Sarah you are so right, mouth breathing is horrible for your face and health.
Please tell me it's not to late for me I'm 15 and a half male
It’s too late
@@harryl6175 same, I had weak chin
Problem is I got my tonsils taken out when I was 2 and I still sleep with my mouth open so it's not that...

Doc is it okay if i exhale in my mouth? Or i need to inhale and exhale to nose only?
I only breath through my nose but I'm to conscious about it, making me have to breath through my mouth..😥
Wow... I can breathe in so easily when I put my tongue in the roof of my mouth. I never knew this was how it's supposed to be!
I loves this! Subscribed immediately
Can this actually change the shape of your mouth/jaw if you practice this?
Any tips for teaching my 6yo to breathe through his nose more? I have noticed him doing it more and more during daytime and grinding at night more. He does need a tie revision but that and myo isn't in the budget at the moment as I just got my tongue released. For years I've had really bad sleep and pretty consistent congestion as soon as I lie down for bed. I'm working on things with myself and want to prevent him from having the issues I've had. Thanks for this video! Going to check out the other one.
I wish you make other video show us how to stand next mirror and how actually looks. i could not figure out which position of my head should be to open my mouth. i wish show us how do all self exams. I want to learn to mange my self. doctors keep giving me medicine and i gain weight. I need to learn more. Does celiac disease cause mouth breathing
You look really nice...I like your videos ....why does benadryl clear the nose?

I'm wondering the same thing
Yes you can. I was able to do it
Yes i was 16 when i stop breathing through my mouth and my face change drastically
YouneZ i started to notice changes after eight months but it was very subtle. After 18 months my face looks a lot better especially from the side. The key is patient. Every people may have different result.

How myofascial therapy helps in muscle tension dysphonia? Do you have some tips regarding it? Btw i am not a totally dysphonic patient but may have a tad bit of that issue which has developed over the years for poor singing techniques.My vocal therapists here have ruled out any kind of physical damage by means of tests and assessment sessions but i have a tremendous tension specially right sided which do involve a congested breathing issue (unilateral;right nasal passage)
Thanks for ur uploads.
Hey anyone know how much time it takes to get a habbit of breathing from your nose?
