Acupuncture & Acupressure Treatment of Sleep Apnea
Acupuncture works by stimulating the muscles of the upper respiratory airways and helping brain in sending proper signals to these muscles for normal breathing. A type of acupuncture called auriculotherapy acupoint pressure may help treat sleep apnea. Auriculotherapy involves treating the ear as a microsystem with the entire body represented on the auricle, the outer portion of the ear. Also known as ear acupuncture or auricular acupuncture, critical points are stimulated by inserting acupuncture needles into the outer areas of the ear. Specific points on the ear can also be stimulated by manual pressure, referred to as auricular acupressure or ear reflexology. In some cases, these acupuncture points can even be stimulated with lasers, magnets, and ear pellets.
Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy Treatment of Sleep Apnea
Psychotherapy and hypnotherapy helps people with insomnia identify and correct inappropriate thoughts and beliefs that may contribute to insomnia. It can give people the proper information about sleep norms, age-related sleep changes, reasonable sleep goals, and the influence of naps and exercise. Hypnotherapy is safe and quick treatment of deep seated psychological issues and barriers.
Conventional / Allopathic Treatment of Sleep Apnea
The most effective medical treatment for sleep apnea is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), in which the person wears in bed a nasal mask that is attached to a machine that pushes air through the nose to keep the breathing passages open. Other Medications that are used to treat sleep apnea are Acetazolamide and Clomipramine.
