The Didgeridoo is becoming a Popular Alternative to Treating Sleep Apnea

By Sam Kappel


What is a Didgeridoo you might ask? If you do not know, it is a musical instrument that was invented by the indigenous Australians around 20,000 years ago. The didgeridoo has become popular all around the globe as a musical instrument and has recently started becoming a popular and unique form of treating sleep apnea.

So how does the Didgeridoo work in treating sleep apnea? Long term treatment for sleep apnea is to build up the strength of the muscles and throat tissues. This helps keep the integrity of the tissues from collapsing. So strengthening these muscles and tissues is one of the better long term forms of treating OSA.

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.

You cannot just blow into the didgeridoo to help treat obstructive sleep apnea. There are special exercises you need to follow to really get the most benefit out of it. The type of exercise you will want to use when playing it is circular breathing exercises.

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.

One of the best ways to really treat sleep apnea is to strengthen and playing the didgeridoo helps that. By finding the right exercises and learning to play correctly will increase the success of using the didgeridoo for sleep apnea.
