In my profession I have the pleasure of being able to know first hand, from clients, just how successful my programs are and how pleased people are with the results. Sometimes my clients will contact me and ask about other issues they have and ask if my program would help with those as well.
Recently, attention has been directed to my Stop Snoring program. Clients have contacted me and let me know that this program has helped stop snoring related to their deviated septums. A few others have contacted me and asked if this program can help with a deviated septum.
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.
Normally the wall would divide each nostril into even halves. Many septums, however are not exactly portioned. This is normally not a problem as a septum only off center by a small amount does not generally cause problems.
A deviated septum though, one where the wall is extremely off center, can lead to many negative issues.
Issues include: Snoring, nose bleeds, sleep apnea, headaches and chronic sinus infections.
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.)
See your doctor if you think this may be your problem and ask him or her what treatment options are available.
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.
There are also temporary treatments such as antihistamines, cortisone sprays and decongestants. They treat the symptoms but unfortunately are not a permanent solution.
Natural remedies include natural sprays or saline drops or even hot peppers which can generate tears enough to clear up a blocked passage.
Keeping with natural altnernatives, you could try a nasal lavage. This is where saline solution is poured down one nostril and then forced to flow 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.
