My Respiratory Problem

Throughout my life, I wished I could breathe by my nose for one whole day without getting any nose blocks. It sounds ridiculous doesn't it. But Yes, I was literally wishing for such a simple thing.

Whenever I get up in the morning, my nose will have this dry block that feels like a thin layer is covering my airway and it is difficult for the air to get through. Hence, I use my mouth to breath, that could have been a huge contributor to my bad temper.

Mouth Breathing

A short explanation on mouth breathing and why you should not do it
For an example, you are sick and have a blocked nose due to flu. You are left with no choice but to breathe via your mouth. Can you count the number of times you have snapped at people and get irritated for no reason during this whole period of time? I am sure it is uncountable times.

Back to my story. In addition to my dry block, I tend to sneeze when there is a change of temperature in place i am in. E.g. When i move from a outdoor sunny area into an indoor air-con room, or vice versa, i experience this problem.

Many recommended me to undergo minor operations for my sinusitis, but i refused. I lived with it, hoping it will find some cure for it some day. Master Nava told me that cure when he noticed my dry block during shoulder stand during class. I am going to share it with you today.
