Our body works the same way. The body will suffer from anxiety, fogginess, poor concentration, poor sleep, and restlessness if the sinus does not function properly. Through nasal breathing, we are able to send more air to lower lobes of the lungs where more parasympathetic (relaxing) receptors are located. Triggering more parasympathetic receptors helps you stay calm and healthy. However, when you breathe through your mouth, your breaths become shallow and that triggers more sympathetic (fight-or-flight) receptors. Long-term activation of sympathetic receptors cause tension, fatigue, and anxiety. Symptoms of a mouth breathing include headaches when waking up, dry lips and mouth, congested nose, and sleeping with an open mouth. Moreover, nasal breathing maximizes diaphragm and rib cage movement. The movements create a massage-like effect for the nearby organs like stomach, liver, lung, and heart and improve lymphatic circulation as well. Benefits of Nasal Breathing Restful sleep, wake up relaxed Reduce bad breath, dry mouth Clear mind and better focus from efficient brain cooling Alleviate snoring and sleep apnea Provides lungs with a greater amount of oxygen

I began my studies in Korean medicine in 1990 at Kyunghee University in Seoul, South Korea and received his B.S. (6 years), M.S. (2 years), and Ph.D (3 years) degrees from Kyunghee University. After graduating, I devoted several years to research. I researched biochemical mechanism of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity and their interaction with herbal ingredients (Inulin and Resveratrol) at Kyung Hee University Medical School??셲 molecular biology lab. During this time, I began developing my trademark program ??쏳eset Detox,??? which is a comprehensive and holistic approach to reset one??셲 metabolism. From 1997 to 2000, I served as a medical officer in the Korean military.
My clinical career began in 2001 when I established the first Kyunghee Acupia Wellness Clinic in Seoul, South Korea. Started as one clinic, Acupia Wellness grew to ten branches that now cover key parts of South Korea. As I gathered many years of clinical experience, I developed a groundbreaking branch of acupuncture ? Vertex Synchronizing Technique (VST) acupuncture. VST acupuncture has redefined non-invasive treatments for musculoskeletal disorders and has been administered in over 100,000 treatments.
Aside from my clinical practice, I have been driven to raise awareness of Korean Medicine and its benefits, speaking internationally.
