Discover why the Didgeridoo is a Popular Sleep Apnea Treatment


By Sam Kappel


What is the Didgeridoo and why is it becoming such a popular treatment option for sleep apnea? The Didgeridoo is a musical instrument that has been around for close to 20,000 years and was developed by native Australians. The didgeridoo is has become popular world wide for playing as not only an instrument, but the last few years as a successful treatment for sleep apnea.

So how does this ancient Australian instrument actually work with treating sleep apnea? First, to successfully treat sleep apnea the tissues and muscles of the throat need to be strengthened. Sleep apnea is caused when these tissues actually collapse and block the airway. Playing this instrument can actually help.

So how do you really exercise and strengthen these tissues? This is the where the didgeridoo comes into play. Playing the didgeridoo in a correct manner actually strengthens these tissues. This has become a great natural alternative and treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is also been shown to help the respiratory system as well.

There are many benefits to playing the didgeridoo correctly and another one is stress relief. Stress has been shown to be a big cause of sleep apnea and its symptoms. Relieving it can be a big help for helping the symptoms.

Just playing the instrument is not the end all to treating sleep apnea though. There is a unique and simple technique that is key to really strengthening the muscles and tissues correctly. The technique you want to learn is what they call the circular breathing technique.

So are didgeridoos expensive? They can be commonly found from any from 10 to 30 dollars. Being an ancient musical instrument there are more older and expensive forms, but they can be found for very cheap. There are more expensive alternatives to treating sleep apnea like CPAP machines and surgery.

So in conclusion, the best way to actually benefit from the didgeridoo for sleep apnea is to correctly learn how to play it. By learning the circular breathing technique you start working on naturally treating obstructive sleep apnea
