For the relief of snoring.
Helpful hints
Try sleeping on your side rather compared with your back. If you tend to roll onto your back during the night, it's worth trying this novel idea: Put a T shirt or pyjama top with a little front pocket on back to front so the pocket is at the back and put a tennis ball in the pocket. When you roll onto your back, the tennis ball will prompt you to roll back onto your side.
Being overweight is a common cause of snoring. If you are overweight, losing weight slowly and steadily is one of the best things you can do to help cut down snoring and improve your overall health.
It's best to avoid utilising drug based sleeping tablets, tranquillisers or antihistamines, which will make your snoring worse.
Hayfever, sinus congestion and tonsillitis can cause snoring. See your healthcare professional for treatment if you have any of these problems.
Try raising the head of your bed or sleeping on raised pillows.
Gargle with warm salt water before going to bed.
Chiropractic treatment could help to relieve jaw problems which are often associated with snoring.
