It is becoming more widely known that sleep apnea, snoring, and other sleep disorders are highly destructive for overall health, and the drug market is booming with the drive to ‘help’ people with their sleep problems.
However, even using a non-drug solution, such as a CPAP device can be cumbersome, uncomfortable, and expensive.
However, doctors are now prescribing a less-conventional, but more comfortable treatment alternative that is all natural, inexpensive and only has to be used during the waking hours.
And it all began with a pair of stockings.
Researchers and doctors are looking more and more to the causes behind sleep apnea and snoring.
One possibility, in addition to lack of muscle strength and oxygen flow, is excess fluid buildup in the legs during the day.
People who have issues with edema due to health conditions, poor circulation, or as a side effect of medications (like those for blood pressure) sometimes suffer from a pooling of excess fluid in the legs during the day.
The theory is that at night, once in a reclined or lying down position, the fluid makes its way into the neck, causing snoring and apnea. Stop the edema build up during the day and you could stop the sleep disturbances.
One way to do this is to wear compression hosiery during the daytime.
Wearing the stockings during the day keeps the legs from allowing fluid to pool and instead be purged through normal metabolic functions. No fluid in the daytime means no fluid going to the neck at night.
Success with the trials of the daytime stocking treatment plan has been seen already and more studies are to follow. This doesn’t work for everyone but is worth trying if you believe you have excess fluid build-up.
But there is a much easier way to stop snoring that doesn’t require wearing stockings and works for almost everyone.
Our simple, easy stop snoring exercises take as little as 3 minutes per day and often eliminate your snoring the very first night. Check out The Stop Snoring Exercises here…
Interesting!
it would save so much if the snoring could be stopped.
I holiday with a pal and she needed industrial quality ear plugs – then I started to take Vitamin D3. After a year she said I was not snoring as much as I normally did. One year on, she announced that I did not snore anymore, but we still take the plugs away with us. I find if I get dehydrated as I did travelling in the mountains, I snore then. Once we made sure we drank plenty of liquids it went away again. Family members also confirmed the lack of noise! My son also seems to have cured his snoring, again taking Vit D3 for two years or more.
Most interesting and makes a lot of sense…Appreciate what you are doing to “set us free” from “meds”…
this info is very timely thanks.
What if you have perepheral neuropathy in your feet? Can you still wear compression stockings?
Thank you Christian, sounds very interesting and I will begin today!
You have such unusual and beneficial articles. I wish i could send this one to several friends to their email addresses. I have printed some of your articles and taken them to one friend. My husband was military, and my friends are scattered all over the US and elsewhere. Love Blue Heron Health News! taylor
I don't snore but have sleep talk. I hope you can publish how to overcome sleep talk or remedy it. Thank you very much.
