Hi gals,

Does anyone know a natural way to stop snoring?

I am 'told' tongue.gif that I am starting to snore really bad and I would like to find a natural way to combat this.

Thanks biggrin.gif

There are "snoring excercises that you can do.

I don't do the excerises very often, I'm always forgetting. But when I have done it just before bed my partner hasn't heard me through the night.

Below is from a website about snoring preventions, there are heaps of them.



Simply close your mouth and act like you are chewing gum. Chew like this for a minute or so at a time.

To do the exercise right make sure your molars on both sides move apart a little, and then touch lightly again. Also notice that your lips are supposed to be closed the whole time.

This exercise is pretty easy on your jaw because you are not actually chewing anything, but you might still feel a little bit sore in the beginning. Just take it easy-maybe chew for only a few seconds in the beginning and then increase the time you exercise.

You can make an "mmm" sound as you chew. This will open the throat better. Making an "mmm" sound is not necessary, it will just give the exercise extra boost.

This is the weak tissue that you are contracting, which you feel opening up your airways.

The muscles you now feel contracting in the back of your throat... are one of the main problem areas in your snoring. If you felt them opening up

I'd like to know too. My poor hubby wears ear plugs to bed because he cant sleep if I fall asleep before him.

And here I thought I had the only hubby who had to wear ear plugs to bed each night!
I normally wait an hour after he has gone to bed to ensure he is asleep properly before I go to bed.

I will give that exercise a go though.
