Snoring Remedy

Essential oils as a snoring remedy are great for naturally reducing or stopping the problem altogether. Oils can be applied in different ways to attack different causes.

You can diffuse them into the air in your bedroom; apply them to the soles of your feet; do a steam inhalation treatment with a towel over your head; add to some Epsom Salts and take a hot bath; dilute them with a carrier oil and massage them on your skin; or gargle a couple drops in a glass of water.

What Causes Snoring?

This condition can have several different causes so you may want to see a medical professional to determine what the exact problem is. As part of your discussion you can mention that you would like to incorporate essential oils instead of pharmaceutical options.

The following are some of the causes that you may have to address:

• Lack of good quality sleep - If you have issues with adequate duration or quality of sleep you may tend to snore
• Nasal problems - You may have structural issues with your respiratory system such as a deviated septum or perhaps you have an infection
• Thick palate - Your palate may be obstructing your airway causing you to snore
• Sleep apnea - This is a common issue with people who snore
• Alcohol - If you are a drinker, especially just before bed time, you may also have issues with snoring

Whatever your issue is, I am confident that essential oils can assist so lets talk about some of the popular oils and how you can use them.

Oils For "Snoring Remedy"

Clove Oil

Clove Oil can be used as a snoring remedy by removing phlegm from your throat and chest.

This can be accomplished through internal consumption, external application, as well as by inhalation.

Clove can be added to herbal tea or a glass of warm water and provides a very enjoyable flavor to your drinks.

When added to a carrier oil like fractionated coconut it can be used as a massage oil for your sinuses and chest to open your breathing passages.
