If your partner snores, don’t be in a hurry to get snore earplugs for yourself or a mouthpiece for a partner – there are a few truly the best anti-snoring devices and solutions worth trying before resorting to those common but not really effective remedies.

Snoring is the result of tissues in the throat relaxing enough that they partially block the airway and vibrate, creating a sound. Depending on an individual’s anatomy and other lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and body weight, the sound of the vibration can be louder or softer.

Did this product help reduce/eliminate snoring? Yes. I even felt like I slept better using it. However, it caused several other issues for me to the point that I couldn’t wear it. So I’m giving it 3 stars because I believe it works, but there are some sacrifices, at least in my experience. The biggest issue I had and the reason I stopped using the device is a severe dry mouth. Because this product keeps your mouth propped wide open all night, my lips, the inside of my mouth, and my tongue became so dry, chapped, and painful after about a week of use that I couldn’t keep using the product.

How To Stop Snoring Naturally & Quickly

 

The best essential oils for the snoring problemessential oils for snoring

In addition to the mentioned above stop snoring contraptions it’s a good idea to use essential oils for snoring reduction.

Even if you don’t have a fancy ultrasonic diffusing device, inhaling essential oils before bed may help stop snoring problem. Of course, each person is different and what may work for some will not necessarily be effective for others. At least, using essential oils for snoring sounds a lot more pleasant than chewing on anti-snore mouthpiece or tossing around the bed with plastic vents stuck in your nostrils.

You must remember that there is no guarantee that certain essential oils will help with snoring. Every person is different and you will have to experiment and see what works best.

Thyme Oil

Thyme oil is known to soothe the nervous system, which is crucial for deeper sleep. Often, this is all you need to get rid of snoring problem in the bedroom.
Ways to Use – Mix equal parts of thyme oil with a carrier oil, such as olive or coconut oil, and apply it to the wrists and the bottom of the feet before you go to bed. Another way to use it would be adding thyme oil to any type of humidifier to improve breathing during the night.

Sage Oil

If the snoring problem is caused by a temporary illness, such as a common cold accompanied by a stuffy running nose or even sinus infection,  sage essential oil can be a really effective solution. It can relieve inflammation, while also helping to quickly reduce problems associated with sinus infections.
Ways to Use – mix 10 drops of sage oil in 1 teaspoon of coconut or olive oil and rub it on your chest before going to bed. Vapors of sage essential oils will help alleviate sinus problems for a deep, restful night.

Eucalyptus Oil

Eucalyptus essential oil can really help with reducing inflammation in the airways, freeing up normal airflow. In many cases, people report reduced levels of snoring sounds.
Ways to Use – If you have eucalyptus trees growing nearby, just get a bunch of leaves and boil them in a large pan (1-tablespoons of leaves for a cup of water). You can also add a few drops of eucalyptus oil and a few drops of lavender oil in any type of humidifier and run it all night long.

Cedarwood Oil

By stimulating both the respiratory and immune systems, cedarwood essential oil can help reduce snoring. Similarly to eucalyptus oil, it can reduce inflammation, while keeping the airways to open.
Ways to Use – Though rarely used, cedarwood essential oil can be as effective as more popular thyme oil. Use it alone or mix with lavender and carrier oil of your choice (olive or coconut) and then apply to the neck, chest, or feet before bed.

Marjoram Oil

Another sinus-clearing essential oil that is famous for its ability to stop heavy snoring after only a few nights of continuous use is marjoram essential oil. Remember, even the best anti-snoring devices don’t work if you are not using them regularly. Marjoram oil is often used to treat sleep apnea – one of the main causes of snoring.
Ways to Use – one teaspoon of your favorite carrier oil with 4-5 drops of marjoram oil can be rubbed on your chest or feet before sleep. Same as with other oils, it can be used with an ultrasonic diffuser if you have extra-sensitive skin and prefer not to use essential oils topically.
