Stop Snoring Cures



Confused about the number of anti snoring devices available? Every snorer wants to get rid of their habit so they are an easy target for these types of product, but the trick is knowing which ones have the greatest chance of working before you break the budget and buy them all. We’ll review the most common ones in this article.to enable you to make a better choice.

Snoring pillows

The anti snore pillow is ergonomically designed to keep the airways open by supporting the user’s neck, keeping the soft palate away from the throat. Some of them will force the user to sleep on his side which will stop many people from snoring. Other pillows have magnets included which are reported to reduce pain. However the is no solid evidence to show any reduction of snoring by using these pillows, although by forcing the user to sleep on his side, they would work for some people.

Nasal strips

These sticky strips force open the nasal passages allowing the snorer to breath through his nose instead of his mouth. This simple snoring device may indeed be helpful for snorers, but only if nasal congestion was the cause of snoring in the first place.

There is a similar device to insert inside the nose to force the nostrils open. These can be uncomfortable and often fall out.

Throat spray

Throat sprays usually contain aromatherapy oils and help to lubricate and tone the soft tissue around the throat, supposedly stopping them from vibrating.

There is little evidence that throat sprays work but they may help to clear congestion.

Nasal sprays

Nasal sprays for snoring work to keep the nasal passages clear of congestion so that the snorer is less inclined to breathe through his mouth. This they do quite effectively, but they are unsafe to use for the long term. More frequent use can lead to a dependency on these products and make the congestion worse.

Snoring pills

These mainly aims to reduce swelling and congestion in the nose and throat passages. Most snoring pills are based on natural ingredients, but others also contain anti histamines. Again these may be of value to those who snore due to congestion.

Snoring ring

The snoring ring was invented in Australia and uses pressure points to stop snoring. It must be worn on the pinky finger of the left hand. It creates a calming effect which, in theory, ensures a peaceful night’s sleep — with no snoring.

The snoring ring does have it’s fans who swear it has permanently stopped their snoring. However others who have used it say it has done nothing at all. Worth a try if you’re curious!

Throat exercises

These exercises are not new and there is some evidence to show they are effective. Throat exercises do demand a little bit of effort for them to work. Those who diligently practice the exercises daily report a noticeable reduction in their snoring and sometimes it has stopped completely. These exercises work by strengthening the tongue, throat and jaw which effectively ends soft tissue vibration.

To conclude it can be said that most anti snoring devices do not work for the majority of people. The only snoring aids I can recommend are the snoring exercises for those who do not wish to use a Cpap or resort to surgery.
