Hello lybrate user

Snoring is a common sleep related problem.
It is troublesome for the sufferer as well as the people around them

CAUSES

?	During sleep, muscles in the mouth relax
?	At times, the tongue falls back
?	This obstructs the passage of air which leads to snoring
?	External factors which cause snoring are:
o	Physical exertion
o	Consuming alcohol
o	Certain medicines

REMEDIES

1.	Natural home remedy using clarified butter or brahmi oil
1.	Put 2 drops lukewarm clarified butter in each nostril
2.	Do this once every morning and every night at bedtime
3.	Brahmi oil, a common ayurvedic herb, can be used instead of clarified butter
2.	Natural home remedy using cardamom powder
1.	Take 1 glass warm water
2.	Crush some cardamom seeds to get � tsp cardamom powder
3.	Add it to the water
4.	Mix well
5.	Consume every day at bedtime
3.	Natural home remedy using milk and turmeric powder

TIPS
?	Do not lie on your back as it increases the chances of your tongue falling back
?	Elevate your head by 4-5 inches as it eases breathing and prevents tongue from rolling back. You may use cushions for this
?	Lie sideways
?	Avoid smoking since it leads to swelling and blockage of airways

For sound sleep , massage scalp and foot regularly before sleep.
Boil popy seeds in water along with little jaggery and milk. Consume at bed time.

Hi,
please follow these tips to stop snoring:
- reduce your weight if you are obese. - perform pranayama (breathing exercises) everyday.
- quit smoking which irritates the mucosal layer of the nose and throat and causes blockage and results in snoring. - quit alcohol and sedatives which relax the throat muscles and results in snoring.
- sleep on sides instead on back.
- elevate the head by using a thick pillow which eases the breathing.
- clear the nose before going to bed.
- establish regular sleep pattern.
- keep the bedroom air moist by using humidifier; as dry air irritates the mucosal membrane in the nose and throat.
- perform throat exercises like repeating the vowels a, e, i, o, you loudly for 2-3 mins few times a day or keeping the tongue behind the teeth and moving it backwards - 3-4 times a day.
- anti snoring appliances can also be used.
