About Sleep Apnea

Sleep Apnea is a very serious disease and untreated  can lead to many chronic diseases, some of them life-threatening. In the treatment of sleep apnea you should check all available treatments and find the one that fits you the best. It is important to get more oxygen into the bloodstream and open the airways.

Lack of oxygen into the bloodstream affects every organ and the whole body. Constant lack of oxygen and unrested sleep can lead to many chronic problems. These include risk of coronary artery disease, heart failure and stroke. Sleep apnea also increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms (called arrhythmias) and abnormal blood pressure.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

Classical medical treatments are using CPAP machine, oral appliances or surgery to open the airways. Surgery is a very invasive method of treatment. It is not always efficient, depending on the cause of the disease. CPAP machines use a face mask to deliver the air and that can be very uncomfortable for many people. It is the most popular treatment.

A more natural and less invasive treatment can be provided by salt therapy. Salt therapy at home is very easy and it can be use alone or in connection with other treatment. Home salt therapy by Saltair device, releases microscopic particles of salt into the indoor air for breathing. There is no mouthpiece, no face mask, just breathe freely. If you use a CPAP machine during the night, use home salt therapy during the day. It will still help you with your night sleep and during the day you will feel more energized.

Salt therapy is highly recommended because it helps to reduce inflammation, clear the mucus and open the airways. The microscopic salt particles are able to travel to alveoli in the lungs, where the oxygen intake takes place, and improve oxygen absorption. This will lead to better sleep and increased well-being.
