ABSTRACT:
A nasal breathing device for insertion into the nasal passageways of humans for providing enhanced breathing of air through the user's nose. The nasal passageways each include a nasal septum wall, an opposite inner wall, and an inner lower wall. The nasal device is formed and shaped from a single strand of wire into a bridge member and a pair of nasal engaging assemblies. The bridge member has a horizontal member with first and second ends; first and second vertical arms integrally attached to the first and second ends of the horizontal member; and the bridge member is used for engaging the bridge of the nose to prevent the nasal device from moving upwardly into the nasal passageways. There is also provided a pair of nasal engaging assemblies each including a first wire member for engaging the nasal septum wall within each of the nasal passageways, a second wire member for engaging an inner wall of the nasal passageway, and a nasal stop member for engaging the nasal inner lower walls of the nasal passageway to prevent the nasal device from moving downwardly and out of the nasal passageways. The nasal engaging assemblies operate to maintain the nasal passageways in an open position for facilitating an increased amount of air flow through the nasal passageways. Each of the nasal engaging assemblies is integrally attached to the bridge member.
