Prevent Mouth Snoring
Snoring causes broken sleep for you and your partner. Breathing through an open mouth exacerbates snoring as the airways become dehydrated and narrow. The excess air volume from over-breathing creates turbulence in the nose, mouth and throat causing an unpleasant and embarrassing noise that can make deep restful sleep a real issue.
By restoring light, calm, nasal breathing you can reduce snoring and sleep apnea symptoms causing you to access your nervous systems relaxation model. It's time to experience deeper, more restorative rest!
Help Focus, Improve Sleep Quality and Reduce Fatigue
When your sleep is disrupted everything becomes a bit more difficult. You wake up feeling irritable, it's hard to concentrate, productivity drops and stress levels rise.
The slow, deep breathing that you experience when you breathe through the nose helps adequate oxygen reach the brain so you can think more clearly. It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering relaxation and reducing the 'hyper-arousal' associated with insomnia. Long term, regular, healthy sleep stabilises the nervous system, bringing the body and mind back to a calmer state.
Reduce Symptoms of Asthma
Asthma, Rhinitis and inflammation go hand in hand, which is why many people with respiratory illnesses experience nasal congestion. This creates a vicious cycle of mouth breathing, irritated airways, a blocked nose and more mouth breathing. Even if you don't feel your sleep is disturbed, if your nose is blocked because of allergies, asthma or rhinitis you are nearly twice as likely to experience moderate to severe sleep disordered breathing.
If you have asthma, making the switch to nasal breathing can be life changing, with symptoms decreasing by as much as 50% within a fortnight. By using MYOTAPE to gently restore nasal breathing, you will experience a decrease in airway irritation and nocturnal asthma symptoms.
Improve Dental Health
Mouth breathing has been proven to cause tooth decay, gum disease and smelly breath. It's easy to know if you slept with your mouth open because you'll wake with dryness and a bad taste. Saliva is important for digestion and helps keep the mouth moist, clean and pH neutral.
Reduce Anxiety
Nasal breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is a great way to lessen feelings of anxiety. It also corrects hyperventilation, which causes low levels of blood carbon dioxide - a known trigger for panic attacks.
Boost Athletic Performance and Stamina
When you exercise, the breath holds the key to optimum performance, functional movement and enhanced stamina. By restoring full time nasal breathing you will experience less breathlessness, better core strength and fewer injuries. You'll also get more oxygen to your muscles, dilate your nose and lungs and reduce exercise induced asthma.
Product Included: 1 x MYOTAPE Adult (90 strips)
MYOTAPE is made from a soft material that stretches easily. Once in place, the tape stimulates the skin, triggering a neurological response in the muscles of the face. This 'reminds' you to close your mouth, and teaches the brain to switch dominance to nasal breathing when the lips are gently held together.
Important: Please remove MYOTAPE gently after use. Every care is taken to ensure that MYOTAPE is hypoallergenic. However, if you or your child develops skin irritation from wearing the tape, please take a break from using the tape for a day or two. If irritation continues, please discontinue use.
