Sleep Apnea is where breathing stops for short periods during the night, which may terrify a significant other. With sleep apnea there is a lack of oxygen during the night which leaves you feeling exhausted all day. Additional symptoms include snoring, difficult concentrating and memory problems often connected with high blood pressure, obesity, poor diet and poor circulation.
Medical treatment usually entails using an oxygen machine with a mask. There are problems with compliance as the masks can be very uncomfortable. The oxygen machine and mask do not address the underlying causes.
From a natural perspective, sleep apnea is a fundamental breakdown of the whole body system, especially the circulatory and respiratory systems. Obesity is a common contributor that stressed both the circulatory and respiratory systems. If you are obese, start doing what it takes lose weight, and start a physical conditioning program. See 5 Keys to Successful Weight Loss.
Use natural herbal, cell salt and homeopathic remedies for sleep apnea and eliminate alcohol, tobacco, coffee, black tea, and sodas, and especially fast foods.
