In treating sleep apnea, lachesis and homeopathic opium are useful, depending on the personality type.

Lachesis is recommended for extroverted, charismatic, angry individuals.

Homeopathic opium is prescribed for more temperate people with a history of emotional or physical pain.

Homeopathic practitioners believe that sleep apnea relates to loss of energy. Therefore, diet must be carefully chosen, eliminating sugar and other allergic foods.
