3 All-Natural Snoring Remedies

If your friends and family are always complaining about how loud of a snorer you are, then you know it’s time to take care of it. As a leading indicator that you may have sleep apnea, loud snoring can not only cause everyone around you to lose sleep, but it can make you avoid hitting that REM cycle. However, not all snoring is indicative of sleep apnea— in fact, you may just need to make some life changes. From using a neti pot to losing weight, this article will discuss a few ways that you can combat your snoring and sleep better at night.

1.Try a Neti Pot
As one of the best, all-natural ways that you can clear your sinuses, try using a neti pot. Shaped like a teapot, a neti pot uses a saline solution and warm water to draw the mucus, debris, and pressure out of your sinuses.

2. Change Your Sleeping Position
Depending on how you’re sleeping, you may be obstructing your airway— attention stomach sleepers. However, by sleeping on your back, you can help to open up your lungs and allow the air to easily flow through your body— cutting out the snoring and giving your body the oxygen it needs.

3. Try Losing Weight
Whether you have sleep apnea or are just a snorer, losing weight can take the pressure off of your lungs and help you to breathe better at night. Plus, losing weight is great for your heart, joints, and blood pressure. By combining both consistent exercise and a diet filled with lean proteins, you can lose the weight and easily keep it off. Plus, your friends and family will thank you for the absence of snoring.

If you snore, it cannot only be embarrassing, but it can be physically exhausting as well. Try using the all-natural tips above to give you the comfort and a good night’s rest that you deserve. To learn more about snoring and sleep apnea, contact Dr. Leslie H. Sultan’s office today!
