There are so many benefits to breathing through your nose … beyond not being referred to as a ‘mouth breather’.
Nasal breathing stimulates the vagus nerve to promote calm and reduce stress in the body. It also helps filter and warm air as it enters the body for a deeper, cleaner breath.

But did you know that in ancient healing, each nostril plays a specific role in your wellness and mood? Swipe to see how each nostril is doing its part.

Your tongue is sabotaging your efforts for sculpted cheekbones. ⁠
Tongue position has a major impact on your face shape. Holding the tongue on the roof of the mouth is not only the proper position (unless talking, eating, etc) but also helps to shape the cheekbones. It will help draw up the area under your chin for a more sculpted looking jawline. ⁠
⁠
Bonus - It also helps the Glymphatic (brain lymph) drain as there is nodes at the roof of the mouth.

Emotions impact body tension and tone. And those raised ‘stress’ shoulders and tight neck muscles are no different. You may see your undefined collarbone as an aesthetic issue, but it’s likely signaling a deeper issue.⁠
⁠
The thoracic inlet is one of the most vulnerable pathways in the human body. Sitting just above the collarbone, it is deeply impacted by your neck’s tension and fascia. When you have tight neck muscles or fascia, it impacts your ability to detoxify your head and neck, your vagus nerve, and even your lung function.⁠
⁠
Stress and withdrawal can lead to the tightening of the thoracic inlet pathway. Swipe to see the domino effect it can have and what you can do about it.

Breaking out?⁠
In recent studies, they found that those who suffer from acne often have higher linoleic acid levels in their bloodstream. ⁠
⁠
Seed and vegetable oils cause an inflammatory response in the body due to the linoleic acid. Thus gunking up the lymphatic system in turn causes a slew of issues - one of them being acne. So if you’re struggling with skin congestion, you may want to avoid these oils. ⁠
⁠
See our recent post for which oils score the worst, and which are more favorable for your health - and glowing skin.

Stretching the skin isn’t what’s causing wrinkles.⁠
Some women are afraid to deeply massage their face because the stretching ‘will cause wrinkles’. The cause of the wrinkles is the opposite of stretching - muscle contraction.⁠
⁠
On young skin, the wrinkles are dynamic. The muscles create wrinkles when forming expressions, but once they relax, the wrinkles disappear. On mature skin, after repeating the same facial expressions for years, wrinkles become static and remain when the face is at rest. When we age, tissues become densified, fragmented, dehydrated, and lose the bounce and mechanical tension. This lack of tension causes less flexible, weaker muscles and more static wrinkles.⁠
⁠
So how can we regain the bounce and flexibility our face once had? Stretching and gentle massage. When we stretch the tissues, we stimulate the fibroblasts. In turn, we see increased collagen, elastin, and tension. With practice and skill, we can begin to reduce the signs of aging by implementing gentle stretching with our hands, a gua sha, or a professional facial.
