Unfortunately Not: Obstructive sleep apnea needs to be treated by either CPAP or bipap or some other prescribed airway device to ensure that you get adequate oxygen during sleep. You should see a sleep specialist & have a sleep study. Additionally, losing weight via diet & exercise or a medically supervised weight loss program if you have failed on your own. Uppp is also a surgical option but isn't fun-last resort.

No: Sorry, there is no spray or supplement that will open up the airway and alleviate sleep apnea.

No: Treating symptoms with holistic remedies may work for some ailments, but sleep apnea is not really one of them.
