Sleep apnea or OSA is a momentary cessation of breathing during sleep. If this involuntary obstruction of breathing lasts more than ten seconds, it is called pathology. Although it is a disease that is still poorly diagnosed, it is quite possible to relieve the disorders that are causing it thanks to homeopathy and thus calm sleep apnea gradually.
Symptoms of sleep apnea
The stops in airflow caused by sleep apnea can occur more than a hundred times during the night. The pathology is recognized by a resumption of aspiration associated with a moan and sometimes mini-awakenings because of the feeling of suffocation. The patient tends to doze off during the day, but despite a nap, drowsiness is always evident. He also complains of fatigue and headaches when waking up with a drop in tone. He has trouble concentrating and lack of sleep influences his mood leading him to become irritable and depressed. In some cases, sleep apnea is characterized by a decrease in sexual desire.
Homeopathic treatment according to the manifestations of sleep apnea
Sleep apnea can result from a state of permanent anxiety that presents itself and is relieved in different ways. Indeed, some patients express their anxiety through restless nights while others can't help but snack to relieve their anxiety. In the first case, the patient should take Stramonium 15 CH, but in case of cravings, he should take Lycopodium 9 CH. Sleep apnea due to insomnia will be treated with Arsenicum Album 9 CH in combination with Psorinum and Sulfure. If the anxiety responsible for sleep apnea is the result of a life under pressure and an abusive consumption of stimulants, the patient should take Nux Vomica 9 CH.
Some patients with sleep apnea are easily moved, so much so that this emotionality is felt in their sleep by the intermittent cessation of breathing. In some cases, sleep apnea can result in permanent yawning and sighing during the day, the treatment to follow will be Ignatia 5 CH homeopathy. If it is a sickly shyness that is at the heart of sleep apnea, the appropriate treatment is Ambra grisea 9 CH.
When to see a doctor?
As soon as the first symptoms appear, the subject must have a check-up with a doctor so that the latter can determine the diagnosis and prescribe the effective homeopathic treatment. The most recurrent symptoms in children and infants are persistent insomnia and organic disorders identified in the ENT sphere, such as otitis and gastric reflux. An adult will have other warning signs such as restless nights, unexplained fears, and the constant need to sleep during the day.
