Is there any remedy for snoring in ayurveda or homoeopathy?

Question

Hello Lybrate user
Snoring is a common sleep related problem. It is troublesome for the sufferer as well as the people around them

Causes

During sleep, muscles in the mouth relax
	At times, the tongue falls back
This obstructs the passage of air which leads to snoring
External factors which cause snoring are:
o	Physical exertion
o	Consuming alcohol
o	Certain medicines

Tips to manage

Put 2 drops of Anu taila in each nostril at bed time
Take 1/4 tsp cardamom powder with milk bedtime or
Take 1/4tsp turmeric powder with warm milk at bedtime.

Additional TIPS

Do not lie on your back as it increases the chances of your tongue falling back
Elevate your head by 4-5 inches as it eases breathing and prevents tongue from rolling back. You may use cushions for this
Lie sideways	
Avoid smoking since it leads to swelling and blockage of airways
Avoid alcohol since it causes the muscles to relax
