7 Unique Ways to Naturally Stop Snoring

By Sam Kappel


If you or a loved one suffers from snoring, you're not alone. Around 45% of adults snore and 75% of them suffer from sleep apnea. If you are looking to naturally stop snoring, try some of these remedies. Sleep apnea can become very dangerous if it is left untreated and some of these techniques can help.

Snoring occurs when the tongue and tissues of the mouth block the airway. These tissues over relax to the point where they fall into the back of the throat. The sound of snoring is when air is trying to pass through the blockage and causes the tissues to vibrate. It's not that uncommon for a person snoring to stop breathing several times while sleeping. The 7 techniques below may help with snoring and sleep apnea.

1.) Weight loss is one of the best ways to stop snoring and sleep apnea. People that are overweight tend to have more fat around their neck. The excess fat puts added pressure on the airway. This added pressure constricts the airway and makes it easier to become blocked.

2.) Losing weight is probably one of the biggest and best ways to naturally stop snoring and sleep apnea. First of all, weight gain is one of the bigger causes for sleep apnea and snoring. Excess weight around the neck presses on the airway and constricts it. This makes it easier for the airway to become blocked.

3.) Stop drinking alcohol a couple hours before bed. Alcohol can cause the tongue and tissues of the mouth to over relax and fall into the airway.

4.) Special anti snore mouth guards are a great way to stop snoring. They work by repositioning the lower jaw forward. By repositioning the jaw forward, it helps keep the tongue from falling into the airway.

5.) Snoring mouthpieces are a great way to naturally stop snoring. These special mouthpieces help reposition the lower jaw forward while you sleep. Repositioning the jaw forward makes it hard for the tongue to fall into the back of the throat.

6.) Try doing throat, mouth and tongue exercises for snoring and sleep apnea. These special, but simple, exercises help strengthen the tongue and tissues so they do not over relax.

7.) Open up your nasal passages while you sleep. This is a good way to help naturally stop snoring. Using a neti pot or breathing strips are a good way to help.

These are a few simple methods that may help. It depends on the person if they work or not. Try some of these and I hope they work.
