Nasal breathing involves breathing in and out through the nose, while mouth breathing involves breathing through the mouth. The nose warms, humidifies, and filters air, and nasal breathing creates resistance that may help regulate breathing patterns. Mouth breathing is common during intense exercise or when nasal passages are blocked, but habitual mouth breathing at rest may contribute to dry mouth, snoring, and less efficient breathing patterns. Many breathing practices emphasize returning to nasal breathing whenever possible.
