Mouth taping is a Buteyko breathing technique introduced by the Russian doctor, Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko. He studied the benefits of breathing and the benefit it has on the entire body. Since nasal breathing is the proper way to obtain oxygen, the technique of mouth taping helps to increase nasal patency (breathing through your nose). When the mouth is taped before bed, it assists the body with breathing through the nose so you get the most benefits possible. Nasal breathing helps to:
Reduce Hypertension
Fight Cavities and Gum Disease
Improve Memory
Increase Cognitive Function
Reduce Physical Abnormalities
Reduce Snoring
Balance pH
Increase Oxygen Supply
Boost Circulation
Stimulate Nitric Oxide
In this video Dr. Brown talks about how to mouth tape. He is using the brand 3M. Please note that you can use a wider tape (2 inches) for better results. Using wider tape helps to completely cover and seal the mouth. For this video, Dr. Brown used what we had here in the office. If you are looking to buy mouth tape to try this technique, search for "3M Micropore Tape". This is sold on Amazon, Walmart and many other stores. This tape is very gentle and can be ripped easily and is not painful to remove. That is why is it great to use for this technique. If you absolutely need to open your mouth or tape the tape off, you can do so easily.
