A Deviated Septum and Snoring

One of the things I really love about my job is the pleasure of being able to hear directly from my clients about how much my programs have helped them and to learn just how dramatic the results are. In fact, some of my clients have written to me and told me that other problems they were experiencing have cleared up just by using my program. Others have written to me and told me of other problems they are experiencing and have asked if any of my programs will help them.

One area my program has seen unexpected results has been with my Stop Snoring program. Many of my clients wrote to me and told me that this program stoped their snoring where all other treatments did not. I have also received questions from others asking if this program could possibly help them.

What, exactly is a deviated septum? Your nose has a main wall which is divided into two nasal cavity halves. This wall is supported by a skeleton of mucous membranes on each side. The front of this is wall is made up of cartilage and that is what the "bendable" piece is of your nose.

The wall usually divides each nostril into equal halves. Some septums though are not proportioned equally. This is generally not a concern and doesn't cause problems unless the deviation is sever.

With a deviated septum, the wall is extremely off center and problems, therefore, arise.

Symptoms of a deviated septum include: Snoring sleep apnea, nose bleeds, headaches and repeated sinus infections, due to the fact that mucous does not properly drain and can cause infections when it builds up.

Causes of a deviated septum include: Development during the fetal stage, injury which occures during the birthing process and, most commonly, a trauma suffered to the nose (sports injury, car accident, etc.)

Your doctor can correctly diagnose a deviated septum and offer suggestions for treatment.

One treatment would be septoplasty. This is a surgery that reshapes the cartilage and bone and evens out the septum. In fact, this is the most common treatment. All surgery requires risk so make sure that your doctor recommends a specialist. You should perform your own research as well. Don't feel that you should have to settle on a specialist you don't feel comfortable with.

For a temporary fix, you can try cortisone sprays, antihistamines or decongestants. This will treat the symptoms, although not permanently.

Natural remedies include natural sprays or saline drops or even hot peppers which can generate tears enough to clear up a blocked passage.

Another natural alternative is called a nasal lavage. This is where saline solution is poured into the nostril and then flows out the other nostril.

A non-surgical solution could be a nasospecific procedure where a deflated balloon is inserted and then inflated to the point that it will correct the off center septum. While non-surgical, this procedure must still be performed by a professional. My Stop Snoring program was designed to treat breathing issues but since so many of my clients have told me that it helped with their deviated septum, I would suggest using it or my TMJ program in conjunction with your doctor's solutions. Since my program is all natural and non-invasive, there's no worry about combining medicine, etc.
