The Risks of Mouth Breathing
Chronic mouth breathing is not just a habit—it's a condition that can affect your overall health in surprising ways. The human body is designed to breathe primarily through the nose, which filters, warms, and humidifies the air. When we bypass this natural system, several health risks can develop over time.
Respiratory Issues
Mouth breathing bypasses the natural filtering system of the nose, increasing the risk of respiratory infections and allergies.
Heart and Blood Pressure
Chronic mouth breathing can affect oxygen levels, potentially leading to higher blood pressure and increased heart strain.
Brain Function
Reduced oxygen intake through mouth breathing may impact cognitive function, concentration, and memory.
Sleep Quality
Mouth breathing during sleep is linked to snoring, sleep apnea, and overall poorer sleep quality.
Dental Health
Breathing through the mouth dries out oral tissues, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
Facial Development
Especially in children, chronic mouth breathing can affect facial structure development and appearance.
The Benefits of Nasal Breathing
Your nose is more than just a breathing apparatus—it's an incredibly sophisticated organ designed to protect your respiratory system. By breathing through your nose, you activate these natural mechanisms that help maintain your respiratory health.
Air Filtering System
Your nose acts as a sophisticated filter, trapping dust, pollen, bacteria, and viruses using nasal hair, cilia, and mucus. This natural filtration system purifies the air before it reaches your lungs.
Temperature Regulation
The paranasal sinuses act as a natural air conditioner, warming cold air to body temperature before it reaches your lungs, protecting your respiratory system from temperature shock.
Humidity Control
Nasal passages humidify incoming air to the optimal level, preventing dryness in your lungs, throat, and tonsils. This natural humidifier maintains the health of your respiratory membranes.
The Reality of Breathing
Adults typically breathe once every 5 seconds, or about 12 times per minute when at rest. Let's visualize how this affects your body depending on how you breathe.

About the Creator

Suruzoh Hanakokyu
(soo-roo-zoh ha-na-ko-kyoo)
After struggling with chronic nasal congestion and mouth breathing for over 15 years, I developed the SURUZOH Method as a step-by-step approach to transition from mouth breathing to nasal breathing, even for those with chronic nasal issues.
The SURUZOH Method combines elements of traditional breathing techniques, modern respiratory science, and gradual adaptation strategies to help retrain your breathing patterns naturally. Unlike other approaches, it specifically addresses the challenges faced by those with chronic nasal congestion.
Through my own journey and working with thousands of clients, I've refined this method to be accessible and effective for anyone looking to improve their breathing quality and overall health.
Recommended for These People
The SURUZOH Method is particularly effective for people with the following symptoms
People who cannot breathe through their nose due to chronic rhinitis and nasal congestion
Conditions where nasal breathing is difficult due to long-term rhinitis symptoms. This includes cases where medication alone is insufficient for fundamental improvement.
People who have habitualized mouth breathing and find it difficult to transition to nasal breathing
Conditions where switching to nasal breathing has become difficult due to years of mouth breathing habits. This stage requires conscious improvement efforts.
People who experience recurring nasal congestion even after ENT treatment
Conditions where additional approaches are needed due to recurring or persistent symptoms despite receiving treatment at medical institutions.
If any of these apply to you, you can learn healthy nasal breathing with the SURUZOH Method

Use of Medical Care
While I developed the SURUZOH Method due to temporary effects from ENT treatment, this doesn't mean medical care is unnecessary. We recommend consulting an ENT specialist at least once.
Why You Should Consider Medical Care
Diversity of Nasal Congestion Causes
Nasal congestion is not only caused by chronic rhinitis like mine. Physical factors such as polyps or deviated nasal septum may not respond to the SURUZOH Method and require proper treatment by an ENT specialist.
- Physical factors (polyps, deviated septum) require medical intervention
- Difficult to self-diagnose the root cause without professional knowledge
- ENT examination recommended as first step
- SURUZOH Method may not address all underlying conditions
Potential for Synergistic Effects
Combining ENT treatment with the SURUZOH Method may provide synergistic effects. While I improved with the SURUZOH Method alone, combining both approaches might have led to smoother improvement.
- Medical treatment + SURUZOH Method can complement each other
- Priority on ENT treatment for severe conditions like sinusitis
- Method can be used as supplementary approach after medical care
- Combined approach may accelerate improvement process
Professional Medical Advice
Consulting with medical professionals provides significant peace of mind. If you have concerns about practicing the SURUZOH Method, consult your doctor beforehand, especially if you have underlying conditions like heart disease.
- Medical experts provide professional guidance and reassurance
- Pre-consultation recommended for those with concerns
- Essential for patients with heart conditions or chronic diseases
- Ensures safe implementation of breathing exercises
Summary
Due to the diverse causes of nasal congestion, we recommend first consulting an ENT specialist. For those with severe nasal conditions, prioritize proper ENT treatment, then consider the SURUZOH Method as a complementary approach for more effective improvement. Always consult your physician if you have any underlying medical conditions.
