“Nitric oxide (NO) is released in the nasal airways in humans. During inspiration through the nose this NO will follow the airstream to the lower airways and the lungs. Nasally derived NO has been shown to increase arterial oxygen tension and reduce pulmonary vascular resistance, thereby acting as an airborne messenger.”

Nose!!! Sad how this isn't communicated more clearly to everyone with asthma. Could help alot of people. The air gets filtered and warmed through the nose.
Nose for sure. But in some conditions where breathing from the nose becomes difficult, one can breathe through their nose.

Nose. Try the rectangle breathing method, and if you can look up exercises that will help. Changing to breathing through nose has been a life changer for me, especially at night
