About 23% of couples suffer from snoring. The partner of the person who snores often wakes up at night and does not get enough sleep. Not getting enough rest is just life threatening. Even if you aren’t bothered at night by your snoring, it may indicate a possible health condition that you need to address and not ignore. Before you listen to how to cure snoring the natural way, first understand the main cause, read on!
Causes of snoring
The main cause of snoring is any kind of obstruction in the airways that makes airflow irregular. Irregular airflow in the respiratory tract slams the soft tissues of the throat and mouth into a speaker, powered by a powerful gauge.
The wheezing gets worse when the soft palate (the flexible back of the roof of the mouth) also starts to vibrate. Sometimes, if the soft palate is weak, the tip will strike the tongue (which may simultaneously fall down the throat) like a bongo drum. Most people have more than one type of blockage, causing their snoring. The following are some of the causes of snoring.
1. The main cause of sleep apnea is a weak throat, which closes like a squeezed plastic bottle.
2. If your tongue is weak, it will fall down your throat and clog it.
3. If your jaw muscles are tense, it will compress the airways and narrow the airways, because it will squeeze them out of their normal healthy position.
4. The weak soft palate bangs drooped like a leaf in the wind.
5. Throat tissue that is too big
6. Nasal deformity
7. Nasal septal deviation
8. Seasonal allergies
9. Excessive alcohol consumption
10. Obesity
11. Anything, which is formed due to smoking cigarettes.
Treatments to Cure Snoring the Natural Way
Treatment options to prevent snoring are generally based on a number of factors such as your age, overall health, medical history, and your tolerance for certain medications, procedures, or therapies. Various treatments include oral appliances, traditional surgery, laser surgery, radiofrequency tissue ablation (somnoplasty), or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Natural Remedies to Cure Snoring
Here are simple but effective tips for dealing with snoring problems and getting a good night’s sleep.
Avoid sleeping on your back
Sleeping positions such as sleeping on your back can sometimes cause snoring problems. Try sleeping on your side to easily promote airflow and treat snoring naturally.
Elevate your head
Elevate your head a few inches while sleeping by placing a pillow under your head. Again this helps maintain airflow and cures the problem.
Watch your weight
Being overweight can also cause snoring. Therefore, weight loss can definitely help you get rid of the extra tissue in your throat and prevent snoring. To reduce weight, you can opt for power yoga asanas, and switch to a mindful diet and an active lifestyle.
Chronic allergy control
Allergies are another reason that block the airway in your throat and nose, forcing you to breathe through your mouth. Consult your doctor to treat allergies as well as try natural remedies to avoid allergies.
Avoid smoking
If you smoke a lot, this may be the reason. Try breaking this habit and see the difference for yourself!
Avoid alcohol before bedtime
Consciously avoid alcohol at least 3 hours before your bedtime.
Simple Exercises to Cure Snoring and Sleep Well
Do this simple exercise for at least 10 minutes every day to change your snoring habit.
Exercise 1
Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth until it clicks, hold for 15 seconds and repeat several times.
Exercise 2
Place the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth and try to slide your tongue back. Again, bring your tongue to the top front teeth and then slide it back. Do this for a few minutes every day.
Exercise 3
Open your mouth for this exercise. Now, contract your muscles in the back of your throat for up to 30 seconds. Check yourself in the mirror while doing this exercise to see your uvula moving up and down.
Exercise 4
Do yoga asanas like bhujanga asana, dhanur asana, om chanting and bhramri pranayam. These exercises will open up your neck and lung muscles and promote better sleep in the long run.
Exercise 5
Singing is another great way to improve throat and soft palate muscle control. Try it every day to treat snoring problems.
The muscles you now feel contracting in the back of your throat, are one of the main problem areas for your snoring. The problem of ‘normal snoring’ can be cured in a few days to a few weeks if you regularly practice 7-12 minutes a day. However, the effects of exercise vary from person to person.
