The position of our tongue and teeth in our mouth can change the shape of our face, increase health/facial function and make us better looking. I examine this idea through the Western and Eastern medicine lens. Enjoy.
In this episode, I discuss orthotropics and its relationship to the development of our facial structure. Orthotropics is a field of study that dictates the position of your tongue in your mouth and jaw placement, shapes the structure of your face as we age. Mouth breathing leads to a less attractive face, as well as deficiencies in posture and breathing. Orthotropics stresses nasal breathing, along with a few other key elements. I examine this concept though the lens of Chinese Medicine and how specifically this relates to Face Reading and our collective health. In both Western and Chinese Medicine, it is supported that our face changes shape and we have a direct impact on that through our oral positioning and lifestyle choices. Enjoy.
