What is Snoring?
Many people believe that snoring is simply a bad habit and that snoring during sleep improves the quality of sleep. However, the reality is different.
Snoring is a prevalent condition in men
Snoring often occurs when the throat or back is constricted during sleep, causing air to pass through the throat, resulting in the sound of snoring. Snoring is a problem related to narrowed airways due to an underlying condition, leading to loud snoring during sleep.
Folk Remedies for Snoring Treatment
1. Peppermint Leaf Usage
Peppermint leaves help reduce snoring
You can add a few drops of peppermint oil to warm water, then gargle and rinse your throat before bedtime. However, avoid swallowing this solution to prevent stomach discomfort. You can also drink peppermint tea or apply peppermint oil to the throat and under the nose to help reduce snoring.
2. Thyme Usage for Snoring Treatment
Thyme, or cowslip creeper, can be added to tea to improve respiratory health and promote better sleep. Thyme oil contains borneol, terpin, eucalyptol, and limonene, beneficial for the respiratory system. Drink thyme tea 30 minutes before bedtime for the best results.
