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.
Recent feedback has centered around my Stop Snoring program. People have written to me and told me that this program has helped with their deviated septum when nothing else has helped. Others have written to me and asked if this program will help with their 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.
Ideally, this wall divides the nostril into even left and right halves. Not all septums have the same proportions. This is generally not an issue as long as the septum is not severely off center.
A deviated septum is where the wall is severely off center and as you would expect, there can be many negative issues.
Issues include: Snoring, nose bleeds, sleep apnea, headaches and chronic sinus infections.
There is more than one cause of a deviated septum. Once can be during the fetus’ development in the womb. Another could be the result of an injury during the delivery process. Most commonly though, a deviated septum is caused by an injury to the nose.
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.
For a temporary fix, you can try cortisone sprays, antihistamines or decongestants. This will treat the symptoms, although not permanently.
If a natural remedy is what you’re looking for, consider saline drops, natural sprays or certain hot foods which cause tears. Again, this is only a temporary solution.
A nasal lavage is a procedure in which saline solution is run down one 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.
