Spray Away Snoring
Snoring can be a difficult problem to cope with. It not only can wake
the snorer up, but will likely keep others around them awake as well.
Thus, millions of people have been searching for the ultimate cure to
snoring. However, many snorers are wary of medical treatments and
surgery, which can be risky and is not always effective. Additionally,
such procedures are expensive, as are many anti-snoring devices like
pillows and masks.
Thankfully, it is possible to relieve snoring without resorting to
extreme procedures or shelling out a lot of money. There are countless
over the counter products available to treat snorers. These range from
nasal strips to mouth guards to herbal supplements. One of the most
popular of these readily available options is a snore spray.
Anti Snore Sprays
Anti snore sprays are simply squirted inside the snorer’s mouth
towards the back of the throat. They can be found at most major drug
stores or purchased over the internet.
There are two ways a snore spray can work. The most popular snore
sprays are those that lubricate the throat tissue. This allows easier
air passage during sleep, which decreases the amount of tissue vibration
that occurs. Such vibration is the cause of snoring sounds.
Other sprays work by firming up the tissues around the air passage.
Such varieties have astringent properties similar to facial products
used to tighten pores. The tightening of tissues and muscles also
diminishes vibrations and decreases snoring. Some of these products also
have a numbing effect, which may also aide sore-throat sufferers.
What are snore sprays made of?
Most snore sprays are made from a combination of oils, water, and
alcohol mixed with a mint flavoring. All are non-toxic and will not
become addictive. There are also few, if any, reported side effects to
using snore sprays. Additionally, some companies make all natural
varieties for those who are not comfortable with artificial ingredients.
Some sprays also contain menthol, which can help relieve nasal
congestion. Since congestion is another cause of snoring, these sprays
have an added benefit to them. Ultimately, though, you should confer
with a doctor before using any new snoring treatment. This is especially
true for sleep apnea patients.
Snore sprays and success
Some sprays have reported being up to 90% successful in clinical
studies. However, actually success rates depend on the intensity of a
person’s snoring and the underlying cause of the problem. Even so,
throat sprays can at least diminish the sound of snoring for most
people. They are also less expensive than many other remedies.
There are approximately two dozen sprays widely available without a
prescription. Most need to be taken thirty minutes prior to sleep, and
should not be combined with food or drink. The sprays are only
temporarily effective. So, you will need to use one every night to reap
its benefits.
Snoring sprays can help snorers and their families get a more
peaceful night’s sleep. They are easy to use and easy to purchase.
Additionally, they can be used along with any other snoring remedy.
Thus, they are a great choice for anyone whose sleep is affected by
snoring.
