Solutions for snoring have been around for a long time and the snorer can find a number of solutions.   Many of the solutions are home remedies.  Let’s look at a few remedies that you can start with right at home.

ALCOHOL

Avoid alcohol before bedtime. Those who drink  alcohol before sleeping tend to snore more.   If you find that you only snore when you have consumed alcohol, this may be the simple solution to your snoring problem.     If you find  you want to stop consuming alcohol before sleep, but can’t, then you have another, more serious problem.  You might want to check with a 12 step program.  Seriously.

ALLERGIES

Allergies can cause snoring.  Be aware of pet hair and pet dander, dust, pollen, etc.   Treat your allergy before bedtime with an allergy medication either prescribed or over the counter.  Benadryl is one example.  This may be a simple home remedy for your snoring.

DIET  — FOODS TO AVOID

Since allergies can cause snoring, be  aware of foods you are allergic to.  If you are not aware of food allergies, try avoiding certain foods that are frequently suspect:  Dairy products,  deep fat fried foods,  and chocolate are three that come instantly to mind.

DIET  — FOODS TO EAT

There are  many foods that  help reduce snoring.   Some of these foods are:   Horseradish, garlic, onions,  (that’s great, isn’t it?  You get your bed partner to stop snoring but now he goes to bed after eating garlic and onions!) green onions or scallions,  leeks, thyme,  and pears.

EXERCISES

Exercises that strengthen the muscles in the throat not only help reduce snoring, they have been known in many cases to cure snoring all together.     There are simple 3 to 10 minute exercises that can be done throughout the day, but especially before bedtime.   Many of these exercises are in our #1 Recommended  Stop Snoring Product.

HUMIDIFIER

Dry air encourages snoring.   Snoring is  less likely in a humid environment.  This is a very simple home remedy for snoring.

REST  and  SLEEP

Insufficient sleep may cause serious medical issues, including snoring.   I know this sounds like a catch-22, but do your best to avoid exhaustion.   Schedule eight hours of sleep every night and stick to the schedule.  It may take a while to become rested, but once you do you will find this an excellent home remedy for snoring.

SMOKING

Stop smoking.    Here is a no-brainer.  Smokers snore more than non-smokers.  Smoking causes  increased congestion and mucous build-up. Most smokers breathe through their mouth and take shallow breaths when awake.  At night, breathing through the mouth causes snoring from the vibration of the soft palate or tonsils.

WEIGHT LOSS

Shedding extra pounds is a way to combat a snoring problem. There is a direct correlation between snoring and obesity.     Drop the pounds and stop snoring. It will also do wonders for your overall health.

We will go on to discuss many other natural cures.  But many people have found that some home remedies for snoring were all they needed.
