Hi there,

I think my wife has sleep apnea, as she has some of the symptoms (at least I think they're symptoms - I read them on Wikipedia).

Does anyone know if there is a "natural" cure for sleep apnea, or any kind of natural treatment that reduces its severity?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Mark MacDonald

Mark,

Two of the best remedies, that I know, are weight-loss and improved physical fitness.

This doesn't work for everyone but it does work for a good percentage of sleep apnea sufferers.

BTW, even if your wife is just slightly overweight, this can still be a factor. I'm not only referring to clinically obese individuals.

There are also certain pillows and mouth pieces that can be helpful. They adjust position of the jaw, while sleeping, so that it allows for a better flow of air. A Google search will present you with several options.

I hope this helps.
