							Snoring Cure: What are they?



People who snore can be funny but when you get to sleep with someone who snores loudly
every night, it becomes annoying. That is why, it is important to know the ways to cure
snoring.



Here are the following ways and methods to cure snoring:



Breathing exercise ?Snoring happens when there is a blockage happening in the breathing
passage, particularly at the throat area. And this blockage might be because of a tensed
throat, wrong positioned jaw, or stuffed nose. Take several deep breaths in order to relax
the throat and make breathing normal again.



Decongestants ?There are instances wherein the cause of snoring is nasal congestion. Here,
the person tends to breathe through his mouth which may trigger snoring. Taking
decongestants will free any blockage and relieve the person from snoring.



Anti-allergy medications ?There are some allergies that result to the enlargement of
adenoids. Once the allergy is cured, the snoring usually stops.



Exercise and proper diet ?If the person is obese, he probably snores. This is because there is
fat concentration on the airways that limits the air to go in and out freely. Also, fat
formation on the stomach restricts the diaphragm to perform properly. Thus, snoring occurs.
In fact, around 40% of the obese population snores. Taking regular exercise and proper diet
can reduce the weigh and stop snoring, not to mention other health risks associated with
obesity.



Change of bed position ?There are occasions wherein snoring is the result of wrong sleeping
position. Sometimes, sleeping with too many pillows can stretch and narrow the air passage.
Use one pillow to avoid it. Also, lying on the back can cause snoring. So, a change in sleeping
position can be a good help.



Change of lifestyle ?Smoking and alcohol can contribute to the onset of snoring. Snoring may
be a result of other medical conditions caused by these two. So, to maintain a good and
healthy life, the person should stop or reduce smoking and alcohol intake, which in turn can
cure snoring.



Review medications ?Antihistamines, sleeping pills, and other types of medications can
worsen snoring.



Regular sleeping habits ?There are two periods of sleep: the REM sleep where the person
experiences frequent dreaming and deep sleep, and the Stage 1 sleep which should only be
experienced during falling asleep but can also be experienced several times if the person is
sleeping poorly. Both can trigger the development of unstable breathing that can cause
snoring. Irregular sleeping can also cause respiratory instability that result to unstable
breathing during sleep.



Saltwater nasal droops ?Nasal congestion caused by mucus can disrupt sleep and can cause
snoring. To prevent this, saltwater nasal drops can be used to flush out the mucus. There are
over the counter saltwater nasal drops available in drugstores. However, you can also make
it on your own. Dissolve ?teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of sterilized water. Let the water cool
down to body temperature and place it to a nose dropper.



However, if snoring is caused by other serious condition such as sleep apnea and
enlargement of adenoids and/or tonsils, some surgical procedures like Laser Assisted Uvula
Palatoplasty (LAUP) and radio frequency tissue ablation (RFTA) or Somnoplasty can be
applied. It is important therefore to know the exact cause of snoring before taking any
action.
