Odem Air | Improve Breathing

1. Find the right resistance for you
You can adjust the resistance by gently twisting the mouthpiece and the Odem Air in opposite directions. There are six resistance levels to choose from. The smaller the opening, the greater the resistance when exhaling. Choose a level that allows you to maintain deep, slow, relaxed, and rhythmic breathing for at least 15 minutes. It’s important to increase the resistance gradually to keep your breathing calm and comfortable. If you’re just starting out, it’s best to do your first breathing sessions while sitting or lying down, as the increased oxygen intake may cause light-headedness.

2. Place the Odem Air gently in your mouth
Hold the Odem Air lightly between your lips. Avoid using your teeth, as this can cause jaw tension and may lead to increased saliva production.

3. Inhale through your nose
When using the Odem Air, always inhale through your nose and exhale through the mouthpiece. Breathe gently and deeply into your lungs, letting your abdomen rise as you do so. This should be relaxed and effortless, with the focus placed more on the exhalation than the inhalation.

4. Exhale through the Odem Air
Breathe out slowly and steadily through the mouthpiece. Continue exhaling until your abdomen and chest have fully contracted and you have no more air to release. Then inhale again through your nose and repeat the process.

5. Practise regular breathing sessions
Use the Odem Air at least once daily for 10–15 minutes per session. For best results, aim for two sessions of 15 minutes or more each day. There’s no upper limit – the more regularly you use it, the more benefits you’ll experience.

6. Stay relaxed – no pressure
Take your time to build the habit and focus on breathing in a calm, easy manner. Adjust the resistance so that you finish your session feeling balanced, without needing to gasp for air. Try to include Odem Air breathing into your daily routine – whether at home, at your desk, or during moments of quiet – and enjoy the powerful effects of conscious, controlled breathwork.

Q: What is the Odem Air?
A: The Odem Air is a compact breathing device designed to enhance respiratory function, improve oxygen utilisation, and support the autonomic nervous system. Shaped like a small pipe, it is used for controlled breathwork sessions.

Q: How does it work?
A: By breathing in through your nose and exhaling through the Odem Air’s adjustable mouthpiece, you create resistance during exhalation. This strengthens the respiratory muscles, encourages diaphragmatic breathing, improves oxygen efficiency, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calm and focus.

Q: How often should I use it?
A: For best results, use the Odem Air for at least 15 minutes per session, once or twice a day. There is no upper limit — more frequent use can bring greater benefits.

Q: Can beginners use it safely?
A: Yes. It’s suitable for all levels, but beginners should start with the lowest resistance setting and carry out their first sessions seated or lying down, as the increased oxygen intake may cause slight dizziness.

Q: How do I adjust the resistance?
A: Twist the mouthpiece and the main body of the Odem Air in opposite directions. There are six resistance settings — the smaller the opening, the greater the resistance. Start low and gradually increase as your breathing strength improves.

Q: Do I breathe in through the Odem Air?
A: No. Always inhale through your nose and exhale through the Odem Air. This method encourages proper breathing rhythm and maximises the device’s benefits.

Q: Can I use it during other activities?
A: Yes. The Odem Air can be used during meditation, rest periods, or even light walking. However, it’s not recommended to use it during strenuous activity or while driving, especially as a beginner.

Q: Who can benefit from using the Odem Air?
A: Anyone looking to improve breathing function, reduce stress, support nervous system balance, enhance athletic performance, or simply breathe more consciously. It’s especially helpful for those practising breathwork, yoga, meditation, or recovering from fatigue or stress.

Q: Where is it made?
A: The Odem Air is expertly crafted in Austria, designed with precision and built for lasting use.

Q: How do I clean the Odem Air?
