Many people with snoring problems unsuccessfully try to use a variety of medications. If you have similar experiences and snoring interferes with the night silence in your home, it is time to familiarize yourself with the possibilities offered by herbs in anti-snoring therapy. Herbs work in a natural and delicate way. Do you think that the mixture of herbs against snoring will also help in your case?
Proponents of drugs are reluctant to look at the use of herbs for medicinal purposes. However, herbal medicine existed long before medicine was established. Many medications are actually herbal extracts. Herbs are natural, unprocessed, precursors to medicines.
If we look at the healing properties of herbs, we notice that they have an additional advantage compared to medicines. Namely, they affect not only a specific disease or part of the body, but bring benefits for the whole organism in a holistic way. Below we describe herbs that can help in getting rid of snoring and other health problems.
First of all, we present herbs that help to sleep. A good night’s sleep is very important in the fight against snoring. If you maintain a correct position during sleep and you are relaxed, then the probability of snoring is minimal. The basic herb that promotes relaxation and peaceful sleep is valerian. This beautiful plant with pink or white flowers has a strong smell and is well-known for helping insomnia sufferers. Due to the strong odor, it is best in the form of tablets. Studies have shown that valerian improves the quality of sleep, and also helps to fall asleep more easily – but has side effects and contraindications. Therefore, consult your doctor before using valerian.
The second plant that effectively supports the treatment of snoring is catnip. Catnip herb has excellent relaxation properties, calms the body and mind and makes it easier to fall asleep. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which additionally promotes the inhibition of snoring. The best effects are obtained by drinking catnip tea at bedtime.
The next natural remedy is lavender – another plant that has a calming, bactericidal and soporific effect. This fragrant herb with a characteristic aroma can be used in many ways. You can add lavender to tea or add herbs to a bath before going to bed. Aromatic lavender oil has a calming and disinfecting effect.
Another factor that disturbs sleep, are problems with the digestive system. Therefore, in the treatment of snoring, it is advisable to use herbs that facilitate the digestion process. The most important representatives of this group are peppermint and hops. Herbs for digestion also help to fall asleep. Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep with a full stomach is not possible. For this reason, be careful not to eat any food immediately before going to bed.
There are also ready-made herbal preparations in the form of a spray or tablets, which contain ingredients specially selected to prevent snoring. It is worth trying them on condition that they contain only natural and proven ingredients.
Remember also that natural herbs can also be overdosed. Follow the instructions of the manufacturers strictly, and if in doubt, consult a physician.
I am a supporter of natural methods and agree that herbs can effectively eliminate snoring. The main thing to do is to improve the quality of sleep and remove upper respiratory tract infections. If you do not have any deformities in the structure of the nose and throat, herbs will definitely help. Best regards from Essex, Canada!
