Nothing is worse than the sound of snoring at two o'clock in the morning especially when it's right next to you.
Snoring has become the most common cause of partners sleeping apart.
No matter how you try to sleep, the noise just does not seem to go away or get softer.
There are various cause of snoring such as jaw resting incorrectly, middle age, being male, colds, asthma, swollen glands in neck as well as the tongue falling back in throat causing blockage.
Here are a few tried and tested home remedies I suggest for snoring.
Olive Oil - Drink two teaspoons olive oil before bedtime.
The snoring will not disappear immediately but there will be a significant decrease in the noise.
Eucalyptus Soak 3 teaspoons Eucalyptus leaves in boiling water, drain and drink a cup full before bedtime.
Sage - Soak bunch of sage in boiling water.
Leave to cool and gargle with the water as you would with mouth wash, before bedtime.
Milk - Drink half a cup of milk before going to bed.
Aromatherapy oil.
Steaming your sleeping area with aromatherapy oils specifically Marjoram will assist in reducing snoring.
Place a drop or two Marjoram oil right next to you in a container on your bedside table or drop it directly unto your pillow.
Tennis Ball - Sleeping on your back is the number one cause of snoring.
By merely changing your sleeping position, the terrible noise can be stopped.
Sew a tennis ball onto the back of your sleep shirt or pyjamas.
As this will make it impossible to sleep on you back.
No Pillow.
Sleep without a pillow or a solid, flat one.
Pillows have a tendency to bends your neck in turn causing possible airflow interruptions.
No fat and salt.
Avoid fatty and salty foods in general but specifically before going to bed.
Try not to eat or drink anything after seven o'clock.
