Snoring Remedies That Won't Break Your Piggy Bank
Snoring remedies come in many different packages and range from the complex (surgery) to the more mundane (breathing exercises). Reading through the Internet for solution can become frustrating, not to mention overwhelming. With so many claims and cures, how do you know which remedy might be best for you? Easy Snoring Remedies You can basically divide remedies for snoring into three sub-groups. These groups are folk remedies, commercial remedies, and surgical remedies. Home and folk snoring remedies focus on relieving nasal blockages using postural or herbal solutions. Place a few drops of mint or eucalyptus oil in a vaporizer along with water. Inhale the steam this produces for 5 - 15 minutes before bedtime. This remedy helps reduce nasal congestion In recent years, herbal remedies have been thrown to the forefront of pop culture. This is good because people are now making their health a priority. However, there have been some unrealistic claims in regards to herbal and folk medicine. Myself and many others have been witness to the effectiveness of herbal and folk medicine, but note herbal remedies may take several hours or days to truly be effective. Change up your sleeping position Most snoring actually occurs in the throat at first. During sleep, the jaw slackens and the tongue, uvula, and tonsils may rub against one another. The rubbing produces a vibration, which we hear as snoring. This problem is made worse by sleeping on your back. So switch up your sleeping position, and try to sleep on your side. It may take a while to readjust. If you find yourself still sleeping on your back, you can either sew a tennis ball into your shirt or pajamas (this is an old folk remedy that may sound strange, but is still effective today) or try raising your bed a few inches. To do this, simply place a thick phone book or rolled up quilt under the head of your mattress.
