Ayurveda, otherwise known as Ayurvedic Medicine, is a holistic form of healing that involves mind, body and spirit. If you want to stop snoring naturally, consider trying an Ayurvedic treatment for snoring problems.
How to Fix Snoring from the Root Problem:
According to Dr Rama Prasad, sleep apnea sufferers also have poor digestive systems. An insufficient digestive system leads to an inadequate metabolism which, in turn, causes a variety of health problems.
Their philosophy for treating sleep apnea and the snoring that goes along with it involves boosting nutrients in the blood. From there, digestion can improve as well as metabolism. In turn, the immune system improves, body tissues tone and airways can open.
The process can take many weeks, and is not for those who are impatient. However, many patients have reported other health problems resolving during that time period due to the whole body approach.
For people who want to try a few Ayurvedic home remedies for snoring, Ayurved Doctor has some ideas:
Ayurvedic Treatments for Snoring:
- Take 2-3 sips of olive oil before going to bed at night.
- Put 2 drops of lukewarm Brahmi oil or clarified butter into each nostril morning and night.
- Either eat cooked garlic or chew on raw garlic before bed. This method can work to remove excess mucus build-up in the sinuses if you are sick, for example.
- Crush 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder into a glass of warm water at night and drink it. (Cardamom is a natural expectorant and decongestant.)
- Drink a glass of warm milk with 2 teaspoons of turmeric before bed. Turmeric has antiseptic and antibiotic properties.
- In addition, you can rub peppermint essential oil on the lower part of your nose.

How do Ayurvedic Remedies Actually Work to Stop Snoring?
Dr Paulose, Consultant ENT Surgeon, explains that this homeopathic way to treat snoring essentially stimulates the self-healing system of the body. Therefore, the immune system can restore balance and cure the “disease” on its own.
Ayurvedic treatments can include resolving congestion in the sinuses and minimizing stress in the body. These typically involve using herbs oil and movement, without drugs, medications or surgery.
He also suggests brewing an Ayurvedic tea with basil leaves, Gotukola, Valerian and green tea.
Like I mentioned above, body movement can play a big role in stopping snoring naturally. ArtofLiving.org shares some tips on effective exercises people can do to open up the chest, boost blood flow and release stress.
By calming the mind and regulating the breath, some snorers can actually minimize their loud nighttime breathing – naturally. Consequently, their improved sleep can provide more rest and a healthier immune system.
National Public Radio (NPR) reports that scientists are already researching ways that snoring can affect our memory, mood and even learning abilities. Therefore, it makes sense to fix our snoring issues sooner than later. And, Ayurvedic treatments provide a means of resolving snoring problems quickly, inexpensively and in a healthy, natural way.
