How it works
Nasal breathing exercises promote nitric oxide production in the sinuses, which has vasodilatory and antimicrobial properties. They may also improve mucociliary clearance by optimising nasal airflow patterns and reducing mouth breathing, which dries and irritates nasal mucosa.
Not a replacement for medical treatment in acute bacterial sinusitis. Best suited to chronic or recurrent sinusitis. Benefits are gradual and require consistent daily practice. Seek guidance from a trained practitioner for Buteyko technique.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
