Important! Always consult your doctor before trying these or any home remedies. "Natural" does not mean it is safe for everybody.

Snoring occurs when the tongue, upper throat, palate, and the uvula vibrate against the tonsils and lymph. One of the reasons why a person snores is because he/she is over weight. Other reasons are having a cold, allergies, drinking too much alcohol before going to sleep, or smoking.

Extra pillows: Lie on extra pillows.

Sleep on your side: If you sleep face up, the tongue and palate fall behind the throat and block the air duct.

Mint gargles: Doing gargles before bedtime is effective if the snoring is due to a cold or an allergy. Add a drop of peppermint oil to a glass of cold water. Gargle.

Collar: Using a collar like that used by people who have hurt their neck will lift up the chin, and the air channel will remain open.

Inhale and drink nettle tea: If the snoring is due to allergies, drink a cup of nettle tea. Put a teaspoon of dried nettle leaves in a cup of boiling water. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Strain and drink before bedtime.

Lose weight: Lose at least 10% of your body weight.

Quit smoking: Smoking is a tremendously harmful habit. Quitting smoking not only will help you stop snoring but will benefit all areas of your life.

Shoes: This remedy may sound funny but you could give it a try. Put the shoes you used during the day in the shape of a cross under the header of your bed.

Rue and olive oil: Put 50 g of rue in a dark bottle and cover with olive oil. Let macerate for 14 days. Rub the bridge of the nose and the neck before going to sleep.

A key: This is a very old remedy and as funny as that of the shoes. Put an iron key under the pillow.
