Need an alternate medicine for obtructive sleep apnea apart from surgery?
My wife is suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, her upper airways both through nose and throat narrowed and her oxigen rate while sleeping comes down drastically to 40%. Suggested surgery but not cooperative. Asks for homeo medicine. Snores loudly, with abdominal breathing. Any suggestion for curing through homeopathy or some alternate medicine is welcome
PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN CONSIDERING THE OTHER ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTION. They may be life threatening.
Sleep apnea is a potentially life threatening disrorder. Sleep apnea is associated with increased risk of stroke, heart attack, deadly heart rhythms and other problems.
Treatment for sleep apnea, as with other potentially deadly disorders, should be based on REAL science. Alternative medicine might not be harmful when used for less dangerous disorders. But when it comes to deadly disorders, only proven treatments should be used……and, yes, I do believe in some ‘alternative’ therapies like accupuncture and others for some disorders…..
But…for sleep apnea, treatment should be limited to scientifically proven methods (proved by REAL scientists in REAL universities).
The accepted treatments for sleep apnea include: CPAP (Continuous positive airway pressure), weight loss, oral appliance (mouthpiece made BY DENTIST), and oral surgery.
That is IT. Those ARE the proven methods for treating sleep apnea.
There are other advertised treatments for sleep apnea (nose strips, magnets, sprays, homeopathy, sound devices, hypnosis, voodoo)….None of them have been demonstrated to be effective in REPRODUCIBLE studies….that means that scientists from different labs were not able to get the same results as the individuals who made the claim….
So please be careful. Doctors may not know everything in medicine….but they know a lot more than general public about these disorders.
Good luck.
