When air enters through the nose, it is warmed, filtered, and humidified, preparing it for the lungs. The nasal cavity plays a crucial role in this process, regulating the flow of air and ensuring that it is of the right temperature and humidity. However, when nasal congestion occurs, this process is disrupted. The airflow is altered, making it challenging for the body to receive the air it needs. As a result, proper breathing becomes hindered.
Nasal congestion can lead to mouth breathing, which is less efficient than breathing through the nose. When we breathe through our mouths, the air is not properly filtered, warmed, or humidified.
