Here are some snoring aids that you can make on your own

Do you snore?  If so you're not alone.  Many people are affected to various degrees by this annoying and awkward habit.  Extreme cases of snoring, mean loud snoring or noises that sound like gasping, wheezing, or choking should be addressed by a doctor as they may mean a more serious condition.  For the millions of people who have only a mild problem, here are some quick and easy homemade remedies to try.

One of the things that can cause snoring is when the head falls back below neck level, causing the mouth to fall open.  Breathing through your mouth dries up the throat and thus creates snoring.  So many homemade snoring aids will address both the position of your head and the dryness of the throat.  One thing that many people find effective is to keep the head of the bed propped up; this will keep your own head from falling backwards. You might not think of a couple of old books as being homemade snoring aids but if you put them under the legs of the bed at the head of it you'll find it very effective.

To keep your throat moist and hydrated, think of a good warm mist humidifier or vaporizer as easy snoring aids. These little devices will keep the bedroom from being too dry and can help to keep the throat coated and moist even if you do happen to start breathing through your mouth.  

You can also use some menthol, eucalyptus, or marjoram as well.  These are other options for overcoming snoring since they keep the sinuses open allowing air to bypass your mouth.  Usually you can find these items at a health food store or natural foods store.  Sometimes these are identified as snoring aids, since people use them for this purpose.

If you have a deviated septum, clogged sinuses, or a problem with your soft palate, naturally these homemade remedies will not be enough.  These things will block your breathing and cause you to snore no matter what.  If you've tried homemade snoring aids and still notice a problem, it's time to see your doctor for his or her advice.
