- Dr. Amir Khan explained why only one side of our nose clogs.
- This phenomenon causes the so -called nasal cycle.
- In the case of rhinitis, this process is further intensified.
Dr. Khan who regularly appears in the famous morning show Good Morning Britain. In an interview with the presenter Christine Lampard revealed why we have only one nostril in a cooling cold.. In an effort to explain this phenomenon, the expert asked everyone not to breathe through the mouth. “You may notice that at this point you breathe with just one side of your nose. It causes something called the nasal cycle“he said.
The expert noted that our nostrils alternate regularly. “On the one hand, the blood vessels and tissues will swell and on the other you will breathe normally. Then they will be replaced by two to six hours. This cycle maintains a healthy air flow, making it moist. It also has positive effects on the nostrils themselves that filter the air“the doctor added.
