Alternative treatment for snoring offers various options for dealing with this disorder.

Smoking can contribute to the development of snoring, causing increased production of mucus in the nasal cavity and pharynx, irritation of the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. A simple tip can help smokers cope with snoring: do not smoke 2-3 hours before bedtime . Gargling with olive oil before bed will reduce inflammation, throat swelling and reduce snoring.  

Inflammation due to smoking often spreads to the nasal mucosa, leading to difficulty in nasal breathing. This also promotes snoring. Instilling a few drops of sea buckthorn oil in the nose before bed will reduce inflammation and reduce sleep noise.  

If you have a runny nose from snoring, rinsing your nose with salt water may help . 

Alternative treatment for snoring involves special exercises for the muscles of the pharynx and tongue . Here is some of them. 

A. Push the tongue forward and down as much as possible. In the extended state, hold it for 1-2 seconds. Perform 30 times in the morning and in the evening. 

B. Press the chin with your hand and forcefully move the lower jaw back and forth. Perform 30 times in the morning and in the evening.

B. Clamp firmly with your teeth and hold a wooden stick for 3-4 minutes. Perform before bed.

D. The loud pronunciation of the vowels of the alphabet, especially the letter “I”, is also aimed at training the muscles of the larynx.

When observing sleeping snorers, it was noticed that the most intense snoring is observed in the supine position. Alternative snoring treatments offer various methods to keep the patient from sleeping on their back . For example, putting a tennis ball in a pocket sewn onto the back of your pajamas can help you gradually get used to sleeping on your side, in a position where snoring occurs less frequently.   

The severity of snoring often depends on the patient’s body weight. Weight loss will lead to a significant reduction in the severity of the disorder . Alternative treatment for snoring through diet will be quite effective.  

If the traditional treatment of snoring did not help (and often it happens that way), it is imperative to consult a doctor-somnologist for examination, accurate diagnosis, risk assessment and prognosis, and the choice of the optimal treatment method. Over time, untreated snoring can cause complications, such as stopping breathing during sleep. This dangerous condition is also called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome , accompanied by severe daytime sleepiness, increased blood pressure, decreased potency, disruption of several organs, an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. It is a serious medical problem that must be treated immediately in order to avoid further problems. Fortunately, effective treatments exist and can be matched by experienced professionals.
