this video helped me to get dust out of my diet
and the dog and cat. it's good thing i'm not allergic to chicken
I'm day 15 without eating dust, does it get easier? I'm thinking of rehab.
Look for dust free diets and recipes. There’s a lot of info out there.
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
Lol
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.
yess I have also increased my focus through nose breathing ! it's amazing
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.
I'm glad this video helped you then! You can do it :)
Donald sheppard me too i'm feel difficult if my tongue on top :(
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! !!!
@@Malouco lol c'mon now 😆
For me my nose used to get blocked then I would breath through my mouth and it became a habit
same
Same
Sand
Same
And then the thats when the nonstop cough comes in.
Mine is a habit since I've been doing it since I was really young. Never knew any better.
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 😍😍
u seemed to of still turned out fine tho
@@sanitycheck2375 dude.....
Yes I have small often blocked sinuses as well. This information is very helpful.
This is crazyyyy thank you 😂 I didn’t even watch the full video
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! I never knew how much this would affect my breathing! :)
@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.
Do you put all ur tongue at the top of your mouth or just half the tongue or the tip of the tongue?
@@ucefamir6082 Just the top. Overtime your mouth will get adjusted to it and you will start to do it naturally without even noticing!
@@Crazydog-ze2cb hey bro by breathing through ur nose did it made ur nose get longer or wider? Pls reply!!
@@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.
Sarah, It is so gracious of you to take he time to share your knowledge wth others and to do it with helpful images etc. Thank you!
Wow I put my tongue on the roof of my mouth, and it became like 5x easier
michael Ramos you Will get jawline soon my child
It also puts up your chin lmao
@@eijstech5273 does it work for people 18+ if they start now?
SISNT HELP ME I HAVE TO LIKE TAKE A DEEP BREATHSTILL

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
Hello Sarah! That tongue position point really helped me, thank you!
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!
This is a fantastic guide. Thank you 🙏
this was so helpful, she explained this very well :)
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.
Very helpful. Thank you Sarah.👍
Thank You So Much Ma'am. Very Helpful!!!
The step 4 was key to me... My tongue! thanks for the video. Really helpfull
Valuable suggestions. Thank you !
Thank you so much beautiful Sarah, your breathing videos are super helpful.
Very informative and life changing tips
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
Great videos, thank you!!
Hi. You are def underrated you should blew up on here. Thank you im glad I found you
I placed my tounge on the top and took a breath through my nose and my mind was ******* blown, omg thank you so much.
Thanks a lot, Your video's are awesome
Thank you pretty helpful and rich
Really help, thank you for sharing
Very helpful thank you 😊
I'm 52 and never knew the tongue thing. It's kind of improving my life immediately.
How is it now?
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 )
And try the mouth taping when sleep. Its amazing !!
@@lisarudyanto will do... Thanks so much!
Great and informative video
Very helpful Sarah
👍🙂
Who came after the video where it shows the effects of mouth breathing that creeped u out
i already have it sadly
Very informative!
I loves this! Subscribed immediately
This video is really really helpful
Wow. Thank you so much 💕
Very useful informations. Thank you for sharing & caring 🤍
Excellent video!!! 😊
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.
Search up butekyo method in youtube and invest in mouth taping at night.
Sarah thanks.. This vedio is more help me for good breathing...
Thank you so much
This helped a lot
bruh i wish i knew about this. my face changed so much from mouth breathing. :/
What do you mean? How did ur face change?
@@hal2454 google it. It pushes ur jawline back giving u a smaller chin at least that's what I have heard
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 for video
You are such an Angel
Insane! Thanks Doc
I have huge tonsils and still breathe through my nose! Chewing gum for exercise helps!
Thank you 😇
I wonder sometime if it's a bad habit, but I think you hit the nail on the head when you say: is a reaction!
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 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!
Same with me
I cut out sugary beverages completely and my sinuses have cleared up alot and i can breath through my nose alot better
I made it through 2 mins but it felt like i wasn’t breathing properly and I needed to take a deeper breath.
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.
Tongue thing helped thanks
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
Thank you
Sarah, do you have any recommendations on what to do if you have dust allergies?
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!
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.
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
Vryan Lopez same ppl say I breath too hard :/ but it’s because my nose is clogged
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
@Milan 😂
Same here. The second I close my mouth and have my tongue resting at the top I have trouble
For me, I'm pretty sure it's weak muscles. Are there any muscle exercises that I can do to strengthen it?
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.
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
You look really nice...I like your videos ....why does benadryl clear the nose?
I had a tonsillectomy, surgery for a deviated sceptium and my adnodes 4 days ago what would you recommend once I finish cleaning out the build up
I am 27 ...I have been a mouth breather..all my life.... Now very much in control after knowing ..all the harm..that mouth breathing did to me..
First... clearing nose congestion always...( Doing neti most of the time.. sometimes steaming ..)
Starting putting tape on my mouth . Yeah i know it's funny but best decision of my life.. improved my sleep quality plus ...less dry mouth issue..
( Finally help of .. frequencies and subliminals)
Improving lifestyle..
Like stopping habits which increase nasal congestion or swelling..like late night sleeping.. dairy product or cold stuff .
Soon i will do something for teeth alignment.. hopefully..it will help me more to control mouth breathing
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 ?
God bless you
thx Sarah
I would recommend everyone to do nasal yoga to clear sinusitis.. will help and regular exercise will sure make a good impact.
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.
So finally i realized that all my problems are due to this mouth breathing and tonsils...all that recurrent throat infections and bloating and also that changing facial features. 😓😓😓😓😓
Are you from Pakistan?
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
same here
Yup same
I think your nose 👃 bones increasing
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
@@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
@@TooniMe 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
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.
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.
Do you have a video on tongue thrust exercises?
I didn't know about that tounge thing thanks
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.
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?
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?
Practice it did the same to me breathe slow
Same issue😓
Same here
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.
@@harshitabhuyan8892 your advice makes the most sense yet just reading the word surgery scares me
I only breath through my nose but I'm to conscious about it, making me have to breath through my mouth..😥
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?
The funny thing is I just got off the blocked nose one, and clicked on this still having it 😂
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
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
My tests for plugged-up nose problems were neg. no COPD, no asthma. now it seems like a bad habit. the mouth is dry and I pack water all the time. I have started snorting the gunk out of my nasal passages more often and get a lot of goop and phlegm out which seems to help a lot. another tech told me that I have shallow breathing and need to do breathing exercises to increase my lung capacity because I don't take enough air thru the nose so consequently have to mouth breath to get more air. but then again I am 75. when my mouth is closed my tongue always is in contract with the roof of my mouth, ??? thanks anyway
Hi. sister i am 28 yrs old from India & i have mouth alcer problem since last 10 years and its occurs again & again and yestarday i come now that i have mouth breathing problem and first time I heard its a problem ? and then when i searched it on youtube i found your video. So thank you for easy explaining of about problem & remedies. please comment any updation
/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.
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
Hi how r you? I can't make easy my jaws when l talk or read? Please could you recommend me?
Do you have any recommendations for my 6 week old? When he is sleeping I hold his jaw up to close his mouth, I make sure he’s breathing through nose of course. He had a tongue tie revision 3 weeks ago but is still a bit tight. He has a dome shaped palate, exclusively breastfed. Don’t want him to have issues later but local practitioners eg. dentist and pediatricians look at me like I’m crazy.. also any recommendations on palate shaping besides just breastfeeding.
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
I recommend the Buteyko method to unstop the nose.
