I've just gotten my Science of Breath book recommended by Old Sempai.
The book compairs breathing through the mouth to eating through the nose. Mouth breathers are disgusting. LOL
The reasons the book points out is that nose breathing helps filter the air, and that mucus membranes in the nose heat the air up, so that cold air doesn't go into the lungs.
What are everyones thoughts on this? I'm going to do a search and see what I can find out about the properties of nose breathing. Its been taught to me to breath through the nose in martial arts training, yet its really hard for me to even start any pattern of normal breathing this way.
The book recommends snorting water, so that it comes out of the mouth, and snorting witch hazel, (just happened to have some around, it really burns ... LOL), to clear up the nasel cavities. For myself, my nose is cronically clogged. I breath through it when doing katas, but once I get done I get racked with fits of sneezing from using the nose.
