What's a Good Home Snoring Remedy?

Making up an easy home snoring remedy 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 a few simple tips and tricks are all that's needed to address your snoring and these tricks don't even always include making up some type of elixir. 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.

One thing that you might not have considered as a home remedy for snoring is to lose some weight. 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. When air passes over this tissue it makes the sound we call snoring. 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 goo 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. Rub a little menthol under your nose as this will help you tremendously. Marjoram is another favorite home remedy for snoring; this 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. The smell will then be dispersed gradually throughout the night helping you to breathe more easily. Even a vaporizer or humidifier on its own can be considered a good home remedy for snoring as dry air can make your sinuses and throat dry as well. So try these remedies and remember that often using more than one at the same time will give you the most relief.
