Different breathing routes

The nose filters, warms, and humidifies incoming air, while mouth breathing can occur when the nose feels blocked or during higher exertion.

Nasal breathing is one part of a broader breathing routine.

Breathing habits have different causes. If mouth breathing is frequent during sleep or accompanied by snoring, pauses, or poor sleep, discuss it with a qualified professional.
