Healing Asthma: Breathing Pattern Disorders

Breathe. Is your inhalation and exhalation soft, slow, and even? Is it calm, almost imperceptible? 

Each breath should travel through the nose, which warms and regulates airflow into our lungs. Mouth breathing causes over-breathing and excess carbon dioxide loss. Even while exercising, we should strive to breathe as calmly as possible through the nose.
