How not to snore?

Although snoring is unique to each individual, common causes have been identified. In fact, during sleep, several muscles are relaxed, such as those of the pharynx, palate and uvula. Air flowing through the narrowed airways causes them to vibrate, resulting in the sound of snoring. In many cases, a hearty, well-watered meal or congestion of the airways is the cause. To prevent snoring, Marjoram essential oil is particularly recommended, but other synergies are also effective in clearing the respiratory tract.

How to avoid snoring with Marjoram essential oil

Marjoram essential oil contains substances that combat snoring. Powerful decongestants in the respiratory system cleanse the walls and facilitate the passage of air. As vibrations are neutralized, no noise is emitted. Marjoram also has a calming effect. By relaxing the muscles of the respiratory system, they no longer block breathing. This essential oil can be used in a variety of ways: diffusion, inhalation, cutaneous application or ingestion. Pregnant women under three months and people with epilepsy should not use this treatment.

To enhance the action of Marjoram essential oil, it is important to follow a few guidelines. Certain factors are known to aggravate snoring (rich meals, alcohol, smoking, excess weight, blocked nose, etc.), so try to limit them in the evening. The use of earplugs can be an effective way to help those around you get back to sleep, but also to help the snorer get a better night's rest. It's also essential to keep your bedroom well humidified. A humidifier is ideal, but a simple container filled with water can also help. Finally, those who can should try to sleep on their stomachs, as this position limits snoring.

The right blend of essential oils to combat snoring

To limit snoring, a blend of essential oils is recommended. Simply massage a few drops of the synergy into the throat and thorax, ideally 20 minutes before bedtime. The following oils can be combined

• mint essential oil
• sweet Almond vegetable oil
• eucalyptus essential oil
• scots Pine essential oil

Three drops of each essential oil in 20 ml of sweet almond oil.

Mint essential oil eases breathing at night. Menthol unblocks the nose and gives a feeling of freshness. This oil also thins mucus and clears the ENT tract. Sweet almond also helps evacuate mucus, thanks to its expectorant properties. Soothing and penetrating, it makes the synergy much easier to use. Eucalyptus Smithii decongests the respiratory tract, encouraging expectoration. The airways will be less obstructed, reducing the sound of snoring. Finally, Scots Pine essential oil will unclog bronchial tubes by stopping excessive mucus secretion. This synergy makes breathing more fluid, so as to avoid excessive snoring. However, it is not recommended for pregnant or breast-feeding women, asthmatics or epileptics.
