It’s definitely that time of the year 🤧
Blocked noses, mouth breathing, headaches, poor sleep and that heavy foggy feeling.
And honestly… this simple technique really does work. 👃🏼
Gentle breath holds can help naturally open the nose by improving circulation in the nasal passages and supporting better nasal breathing.
The key is keeping it calm and gentle.
You should feel a medium air hunger only, never straining or gasping.
✨ Nasal breathing helps filter and warm the air
✨ Mouth breathing can dry the airways and worsen sleep/snoring
✨ Better nasal breathing = better oxygen delivery and calmer breathing patterns
This isn’t a replacement for medical care and if symptoms persist, worsen, or you have underlying health concerns please seek proper medical advice.
⚠️ Avoid breath holds if you are pregnant, have uncontrolled high blood pressure or significant medical conditions without guidance.
But for simple congestion?
This is one of my favourite natural tools to use.
