I’m very fortunate that I am able to read and hear, first hand, just how much my programs have worked. In fact, many of my clients have been so pleased with the results that they’ve asked me about other problems they are experiencing and have asked if my program could be of help.
I have recently received feedback and questions about my Stop Snoring Program from individuals who said it helped where other remedies had failed. Some have even said it worked with their snoring caused by a deviated septum. Others who haven’t yet tried my program have emailed me to ask if it can help with their deviated septums as well.
First, what is a deviated septum?
The nose has a central wall which divides the nasal cavity into halves. The wall is made up of a supporting skeleton covered by mucous membranes on the right and left side. The front part of this wall is the moveable or “bendy” piece comprised of cartilage.
Ideally, this wall would partition each nostril into exact halves. However, most septums are not exact. A minor off center septum does not tend to have negative consequences.
A deviated septum on the other hand – in which the wall is severely off center can have a number of consequences.
Symptoms would be repeated sinus infections (due to the fact that the deviation blocks mucus from draining properly), sleep apnea and snoring, headaches, or nose bleeds.
A deviated septum can be caused during fetal development, as a result of injury during the birthing process, or most common, trauma to the nose that causes the nasal septum to be knocked out of position. Oftentimes, sports injuries to the nose or car accidents can cause a deviated septum.
If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms you should see your doctor for a correct diagnosis. You should also discuss with your doctor, what treatment options are available to you. Commonly listed treatments include:
Septoplasty – Surgery to reshape the cartilage and bone in the nose to straighten out the septum. This is the most common type of treatment, however, make sure you research your surgeon’s qualifications, as any surgery requires a certain amount of risk.
Temporary Treatments – decongestants, antihistamines and nasal cortisone sprays are effective at treating most of the symptoms, however, this is not a permanent fix to a deviated septum.
Alternative Therapies - Saline drops and sprays are natural remedies which help to loosen mucus in the obstructed side and prevent the other side from drying out.. Hot peppers can produce enough tears and discharge to flush out a blocked nasal passage.
A nasal lavage, is another alternative where saline solution is poured into one nostril and made to flow out the other nostril. Again, these are only temporary solutions and don’t address permanent repair.
Nasospecific – This is a procedure where a deflated balloon is inserted in the nostril and inflated to a large enough point to adjust the septal deviation. This can be a solution to surgery; however a trained practitioner in the nasospecific procedure is necessary.
My Stop Snoring Program works to cure snoring due to almost any cause; however, it was actually designed for those with breathing issues rather than a deviated septum. Since, however, so many of my clients have written to me to tell me that the Stop Snoring program as well as the TMJ Program has provided at least some relief for them, my suggestion is to use my programs in conjunction with the method you and your doctor both feel works best for you. My program is non-invasive and is all natural.
