nasal breathing
Inhaling through nose
Nasal breathing is breathing through the nose rather than the mouth.
The nose filters, warms, and humidifies air before it reaches the lungs.
Nasal breathing is generally considered healthier than mouth breathing and is emphasized in yoga, meditation, and athletic training: Focus on nasal breathing to calm your nervous system.
