                     Some Home Based 
Quick Fixes For Your 
Snoring Problems
Snoring is an annoying condition, but most importantly it can be a sign of ill health. You may not 
realise this, but your snoring can disrupt the quality of sleep of your partner and can lead to fatigue 
and irritability. According to statistics from the National Sleep Foundation, around 1 in 3 men and 1 in 
4 women snore every night. Snoring can be caused due to several reasons and being overweight is 
one of them. If you are a mild and occasional snorer, then it is not a problem. But snoring, combined 
with extended breathing stoppages are mostly associated with cardiovascular disease risk and 
requires immediate medical attention.
Sleep apnea is another condition that leads to snoring. Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in 
which breathing of a person repeatedly stops and starts. If you are a snorer and feel tired even after 
having a full night's sleep, then you might be suffering from sleep apnea. According to data, more than 
100 million people suffer from sleep apnea globally. Out of which more than 80% of the people 
remain undiagnosed.
In case you are a mild snorer then instead of trying those weird gadgets available in the market or wearing those 
uncomfortable masks, try these five natural home remedies, which will lead to quite a night not only for you but also for 
your loved ones.
Ginger and honey tea
Ginger is the most common household item. It is a superfood which can cure almost anything - from an upset stomach, 
weight loss, heart problems to a common cough and cold. Ginger acts as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent and 
increases saliva secretion, which soothes the throat and provides relief from snoring. Drinking ginger and honey tea twice 
a day is perfect to get rid of the problem of snoring.
Garlic, onion and horseradish
Having strong aromatic foods like garlic, onion and horseradish prevent drying of the nose and reduce congestion. A study 
also claims that these food products also decrease swelling in the tonsils and prevent sleep apnea. You can either chew 
the garlic/onion/horseradish before going to bed if you do not care about the smell or can even add it to your dinner.
Pineapple, bananas and oranges
The best way to get rid of snoring is by improving the quality of your sleep and this can be achieved 
by increasing the amount of melatonin produced in the body. Melatonin is a hormone which makes 
us sleepy and the effective way to do this is by eating foods that contain high amounts of it. 
Pineapple, bananas and oranges are high in melatonin content and you can have them to stop 
snoring.
Soy milk
You might be shocked to know that dairy products can also cause snoring as it increases phlegm. 
This happens because some particular proteins of cow milk can cause mild to severe allergic 
reactions, which promote congestion and closes the nasal passages and increases snoring. Swap 
your cow milk with soy milk or non-dairy milk for relief.
Extra virgin olive oil
Sipping some extra virgin olive oil before going to bed can also smoothen up the airways. It also 
prevents the throat muscles from blocking the throat when you sleep.
These were some easy and home based remedies for your snoring problems.
