Patrick McKeown from the Buteyko Method to talk about all the benefits of deep breathing for anxiety and why breathing through your nose using the Buteyko Method is so important for your health.

Breathing through your nose actually helps to produce nitric oxide in the body and it’s amazing because when you breathe through your nose like we’re anatomically designed, it increases oxygenation inside our blood and increases circulation.

Nose breathing is also great for the teeth. When we mouth breathe all night in bed for example, we dry out our mouth by drooling. When your teeth do not have adequete saliva, there’s no ability for the body to fight against bacteria growing on your teeth, hence cavities.

If you let those cavities grow you might be influenced to get a root canal further damaging your health in the process. As we know from all the guests in our dental section, each tooth (accordin to Traditional Chinese Medicine aka TCM) reflexes through a complex set of meridian system to specific organs. Those organs also reflex back to that tooth.

The dangers of mouth breathing are endless but also the benefits of nose breathing using the Buteyko Method are equally as beneftial for your health and well being.

In this show with Patrick McKeown we get into the details and nuances of how breathing (taking in oxygen) impacts our cells, DNA, mitochondria and more.

Who knew respiration would be so impactful to our longevity and health? Don’t you think we should be taught how to breathe in school?

It’s so simple but yet so important and yet so overlooked even in the natural health community.

I hope you enjoy this show with Patrick McKeown about the Buteyko Method and how breathing properly will help improve your health!

Thanks for listening!
