What’s a Simple Remedy for Snoring?

23 November 2009 No Comment

Making up an easy remedy for snoring at home is not as difficult as you might imagine it would be, however, it also doesn’t necessarily involve the “ingredients” and steps you might imagine. Sometimes the answer you need to sort out your snoring is very straightforward. Let’s take a look at what we mean by that and see if we can’t find a home remedy for snoring in your case.

Losing weight might well be the only stop snoring remedy you need. When you’re overweight the excess body fat around your neck can squeeze the airway there and cause tissue in the throat to block this passage. The sound that we call snoring is made when air pases over this tissue. Excess body fat can also put pressure on the lungs especially when you’re laying down. This can cause wheezing and choking while sleeping but these sounds are not actually snoring even though they may sound like it. So eating better and exercising might not have been what you would consider a home remedy for snoring but of course they certainly should be!

Eucalyptus and menthol are also good home remedies for snoring. Many people use a menthol rub for when they have a cold or stuffed up sinuses, as keeping sinuses clear can help one breathe through their nose rather than their mouth which in turn means less snoring. A little bit of menthol rub under the nose can help tremendously. Another really simple remedy is Marjoram. It is sold in jars and you simply open the lid and keep it next to your bed at night. The aroma fills the bedroom and keeps your sinuses clear.

You can also use a vaporizer as a home remedy for snoring if you add a bit of menthol or eucalyptus oil to it. This will help to disperse the fragrance all night and keep you breathing freely for hours. Another good snoring remedy is a humidifier or vaporizer. This is becasue your sinuses and throat can dry up if the air around you is too dry. Also, be aware that you don’t just have to stick to one remedy. Using a couple in conjunction can be very beneficial.
