Using the mouthpiece the saline enters through the mouth, If I use the mouthpiece there is no reason to breathe through the nose. Am I missing something. I had no training, just a prescription

@reneemc perhaps you're conflating nebulizing and clearing your lungs? With nebulizing you breathe through mouth in and out. With clearing using autogenic drainage you breathe in through nose and out through mouth. Do yourself a favor and check out these videos on nebulizing and clearing your lungs. It's all very individualized and unfortunately it takes time figuring out a regime that works well for you.
