The methods that you have tried may have given you some temporary relief. I know people who sleep with a 'snorkel' type of apparatus inserted in the mouth! The best method to stop snoring permanently is by doing yoga exercises. If there is a yoga class close to your place of stay, please approach them immeidately. Also, kindly read the following:
ReplyDeleteSnoring takes place when the airways are temporarily obstructed. This can occur due to various reasons. Obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, improper eating habits, intake of certain medications, allergies, sinusitis, tonsillitis and stress are some of the causes of snoring. Snoring can significantly disturb other persons who sleep in the same room. It also adversely affects the quality of sleep for the individual who snores. This is because the body is under extra pressure to receive an adequate supply of air and to expel stale air. Snoring is also known to result in health complications such as hypertension, headache and sleep apnea. There are many natural methods to cure snoring. Yoga for snoring is effective in clearing the breathing passage.
Yoga to stop snoring involves certain poses or asanas that enhance breathing and remove blockages from the airways. Simha Garjanasana (Roaring Lion Pose) is one such beneficial yoga poses that relieves nasal snoring. To perform this pose, sit on the floor with your legs folded under your body and your hips resting on your heels. Spread the thighs and place your palms on the floor between the knees. The wrists should be pointed outwards and the fingers inwards towards the body. Lean forward, tilt the head back and inhale deeply. Open the mouth, extend the tongue out and exhale with a growling sound. Repeat this twice or thrice. Pranayama refers to breathing exercises which form an important part of yoga. Ujjayi Pranayama (Hissing Breath) is a method of yogic breathing which helps to get rid of obstructions in the throat and also improves lung capacity. To perform this breathing technique, sit in a comfortable cross legged postion, close your eyes and breathe deeply through the nose. Once your body is relaxed, inhale with force through the nostrils. Contract the muscles of the neck so that a low, raspy sound is produced. Hold the breath for as long as you can and then close one nostril as you exhale from the other. Repeat the steps with the other nostril. This breathing exercise may be practiced about 5 times daily. Yoga for sleep apnea may also be practiced. However it is advisable to consult a doctor first.
Pilates for snoring also provides benefit for those who snore. In addition to physical exercise, vocal exercises are known to be beneficial in strengthening the throat and reducing snoring too. It is also important to maintain good eating habits and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
We've had to deal with this a little in my house. I hate wearing anything on my face because I also have trouble falling asleep and anything on my face would make it harder.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few sites, like WebMD.com that can help. There's also one in my source that I checked out recently. It might be a good starting point for you.
