An article to improve nasal passage air flow may be a strip that comprises a flexible resilient material, and has a first end and a second end, and a top surface and a bottom surface, with at least a portion of the bottom surface at the first end of the strip comprising a first adhesive surface, and at least a portion of the bottom surface at the second end of said strip comprising a second adhesive surface. The strip may serve to dilate a users nasal passage when the first end of the strip is secured using the first adhesive bottom surface to be proximate to an alar facial groove of the users nose, with the second end of the strip being pulled up at a slight angle and laterally to achieve desired nasal passage expansion and thereafter being secured to the users face, at roughly a 20-25 degree angle.
