Sleep Apnae

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that causes disturbed and poor-quality sleep. A person may snore loudly yet still feel tired even after a full night's sleep.This condition happens when the windpipe relaxes during sleep, collapses, and causes breathing to stop temporarily for a few seconds.

Sleep Apnea: Causes, Symptoms & Ayurvedic Treatment in Delhi NCR

Ayurvedic Perspective on Sleep Apnea

Ayurveda explains sleep apnea as a disorder caused primarily by an imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas.

Restoring the balance of these doshas helps improve airflow, strengthen airway muscles, and enhance the quality of sleep. Common Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

Kapha imbalance leads to heaviness, mucus accumulation, and blockage in the air passages.

Vata imbalance weakens the nervous and muscular functions responsible for maintaining steady breathing during sleep.

Loud snoring

Irritation

Mouth breathing

Restless sleep

Morning headaches

Daytime sleepiness

Low energy levels

Waking up with a dry mouth or sore throat

Mood changes
