Yay. After reading about Inclined Bed Therapy, my husband and I raised the top (head) of our bed by six inches last week as we'd heard there were multiple health benefits with doing this. We bought new, taller bed legs but others have used bricks, books and planks of wood. So I can report back after 10 days:
- My husband's loud snoring has greatly improved (now a gentle murmur).
Eucalyptus Oil

Also I hear that if you drink lots of water, this will prevent it as well as it's been said that people may snore if they are not hydrated enough.
I hope this helps!

I have been suffering from swollen sinuses (sinusitis) for the past few months and tried breathing some steaming water with eucalyptus oil dropped in it and then putting some over my eyebrows to help me sleep better. I certainly slept through the night, but my snoring was so bad that my girlfriend had to leave the room and sleep on the couch. It could just be me, but the eucalyptus oil didn't make my snoring any better.
Hydrogen Peroxide
★★★★★

I love this one. I have been convinced that I snore because I have awakened from sleep thinking that I had somehow acquired a growling dog in my bedroom, and scared to death until I figured out that me and my snoring was that vicious dog, since it always stopped as soon as I woke up. I must warn you, if this works for other snorers, the ENT guys and maybe a few other surgeons, are going to hate you because you definitely will decrease their "job security", by decreasing their patient load for surgery to get rid of the problem.

I read someone saying he is using hydrogen peroxide in a nasal spray bottle for snoring. I wanted to know how many drops of 35% food hydrogen peroxide in 30 ML empty nasal spray bottle. Thanks
EC: Robert was probably referring to Bill Munro's hydrogen peroxide lung inhalation method and not spraying peroxide up his nose. Here's the page: https://www.earthclinic.com/remedies/hydrogen_peroxide_inhalation.html

Mangosteen Juice

I also have experimented with Mangosteen, & have noticed some positive results with inflammation. However it is ridiculously expensive. I would encourage you to buy it from a local health store & NOT from some multi-level marketing scheme. There are a lot of exaggerated claims and untrustworthy internet vendors making it difficult to separate truth from fact.

In response to Rob from Manhattan: I have to agree that mangosteen juice is expensive, although the low dosage required for effectiveness helps to stretch the dollars a bit. You are 100% correct about the marketing schemes that exist, many companies have exaggerated claims about their brands (that they sell for $40 per 32 oz). I have had success with whatever brands I have found on clearance in local big box stores. These are often not a health nut's first choice for shopping needs, and I have had great luck at finding the juice 50% off (around $12 a bottle). The bottle lasts a couple of weeks, and I consider the price to be well worth my sleep! It is still more affordable than a prescription, and has other positive health benefits as well with the high level of antioxidants and xanthones.

Taping Your Mouth Shut

WARNING!
Please make sure you can exhale through the nose before you try this. Sounds like it would work for anyone who can easily exhale through the nose, but many people with snoring can't do that.

This does work. It keeps the jaw up. Wise to cut small hole in tape to allow air flow (while tape still holding jaw up). Best and cheapest solution to tongue caused snoring!

I'm afraid that snoring doesn't require an open mouth. I have my mouth shut and tongue up in the roof of my mouth and snore like a train sometimes. It seems to be associated with inflammation for me, so I'm going to try the H2O2 method. Sounds promising.

I am always looking for answers, anyway, Eric Berg was teaching some cortisol stuff on you tube and he said it can cause the flap that causes snoring to be a problem. That explains why my tonsils and adnoids gone as a child and I still can snore worse than a bear. Just for fun of course : )
I have actually woken up because my snoring was so loud. DHEA at night is supposed to lessen cortisol. I take 5 mg every few days
Throat Spray, Acupressure
★★★★★
I'm an acupuncturist studying to be a naturopthy.
My slim husband is pretty robust and not very interested in health. He's slim and fit, eats crap, drinks a fair amount and when he started smoking again he started snoring heavily waking me about 9 times a night where i'd have to push him onto his side.
So he's not good at sitting still for the acupuncture, so I did three things. Bought one of those spray's full of essential oils (from boots) for your throat. Massaged the pads of his thumbs (thenar eminance) a few mins each, very basic up and down rubs anyone can do.
And lastly made my own cheapie acupuressure thing. In boots the ring is 50 bucks or something crazy
Just get any bandage, put a few grains of rice on it and stick it at the base of the inner baby finger (just above where it joins the finger). that's it.
No snoring. Tedious a little though as somehow I have to do the little hand rub thing every night and not him. Even thought it's simple. Bah
But I shouldn't complain he's fab in every other way! :)
Good luck!
