Alternative and Natural Cures
for Sleep Apnea


Are you looking for alternative cures for sleep apnea?



If you have a problem with traditional methods of treatment, such as:

  • fear of surgery
  • problems with CPAP therapy
  • you don't have a health insurance for sleep apnea treatment
  • you can't afford the treatment
  • too risky for you
  • too complicated
...then you maybe think of different solutions for sleep apnea cure.

These are my reasons for seeking other methods of cures for sleep apnea. I had to find something and quickly.

There was only one problem...

A new field of medicine offers fertile ground for scams. Shameless people are quick to exploit people's hopes and fears. Claims of miracle cures for sleep apnea are already germinating on internet.

I read dozens of books and reports about sleep apnea written by doctors, researchers and scientists, searching for clues for alternative treatment for sleep apnea. I talked with some patients. You will be surprised to know what I learned : Alternative cures cannot completely treat sleep apnea. But don't be discouraged. Please, read more bellow.

There is effective treatment, but sleep apnea will return if the treatment is stopped.

Sleep apnea is a complicated disorder, and the choice of the correct treatment depends on many factors. The treatment should be chosen on the basis of the kind of apnea, how severe it is, and your overall health. None of us is exactly alike.

So, you have to find what works best for you and stick to it.


However, I had to find a solution to treat myself!

Besides sleep apnea surgery and CPAP therapy, there were other options to treat sleep apnea. I was wondering..."what if I combine all alternative treatments, and make them most appropriate for me?"


How to cure Sleep Apnea ?




If you have a mild sleep apnea, or your main cause is obesity, you can combine the following types of alternative treatment and have very good results, as I have:Take into consideration the following options available to those suffering from sleep apnea, because anything that can help your natural remedy can improve your disorder:
  • try sleeping on your side rather than sleeping on your back as it can produces loud snores because of blockages.

  • elevate the head when you sleep. This measure can alleviate snoring and make breathing easier.

  • Use an air humidifier at nighttime to make the air moister.

  • don't smoke for at leas several hours prior to bedtime. Doing so, the smoke can cause the airways to tighten in the neck, worsening sleep apnea.

  • maintain regular sleep hours. In my case, I had to quit my shift work job, to have a normal sleep.

  • use a nasal dilator, saline nasal spray or breathe right strips to help open nasal passages.
Bottom line...

With a few exceptions, most alternative cures for sleep apnea are not harmful, and even if you have a severe disorder, they may be helpful in promoting better health.

The worst decision you could make would be to stop using the treatment your sleep specialist prescribed while you try new alternatives. If you already use CPAP, you can experiment with sleep apnea new treatments.

With sleep apnea alternative treatment discussed above, I managed to get rid of excessive sleepiness in daytime, and snoring and apnea events in the night. But...when I forget to make exercise or I become bored to maintain the special diet my sleep apnea symptoms returns.

This is our condition, of sleep apnea patients, to be always careful with our lifestyle. I am wonder...Could I ever be so careful with my health if I hadn't have sleep apnea?
