"There are 2 branches in our nerve system. They are sympathetic and parasympathetic. The parasympathetic branch maintains the reacting and digestion systems. Sympathetic branch takes care of the rest for the body and the mind!

Breathing through the mouth takes our body to the sympathetic branch. At the same time, the nose holes engages the parasympathetic system. This leads to different complaints in the body! This causes prolonged mental tension and breathing system difficulties. Further, this also blocks the growth of new tissues after some physical exercise."
