Different types of remedies can be used to heal standard cases of snoring or snoring related mild sleep apnea. Many people use a stop snoring mouthpiece to keep the mandible forward and clear the congestions in the throat or a nasal cone to get a free flow of air during sleep. Below are some herbal remedies, which may help you cope with snoring due to nasal congestions or respiratory issues. When used together with other snoring aids like a mouthpiece, these measures would work efficiently to cure snoring.

For Snoring Due to Swollen Sinuses

When the surrounding air is way too dry, the mucus in the nose and the sinuses won’t flow rightly, and thereby your sinus may not drain as ideally as they should be. Add some drops of eucalyptus essential oil to a diffuser or the vaporizer and turn on the device for 10 to 15 minutes before sleep time. Having adequate moisture in the surrounding air would clear the nasal congestion; however, excess moisture can do the opposite too. So turn off the device as you sleep.

Eucalyptus is known for having certain decongestant properties as well. The herb can help to soften the hardened mucus build up in the nose and thereby clear the congestion in breathing.

For Snoring Due to Respiratory Conditions

Marjoram can be used if snoring occurs due to nasal congestion, asthma, cough, bronchitis, etc. The herb is used in cooking primarily but it has several health benefits as well, which can help to treat respiratory conditions that trigger snoring. Further, there are two ways to use the herb to cure snoring.

Marjoram Tea: Add 2 to 3 ounces of dried marjoram leaves into a glass of boiling water, and let it sit for about 3 minutes. Once boiled, allow the tea to cool a bit and then drink it before going to sleep.

Marjoram Essential Oil: Add a few drops of marjoram essential oil to the diffuser and turn on the device before bedtime. When you breathe the aroma of the essential oil, it can help cure snoring due to nasal congestion.

In addition to these snoring aids, even herbal remedies such as chamomile tea and green tea have certain antioxidant properties, which can clear the respiratory issues and underlying stress on the throat muscles. Having said that, you should first consult with a medical professional before using the herbal remedies and find out if they could interfere with any of your medications, which might aggravate other health problems.
