Stop Snoring While Traveling

January 30th, 2008

Last year, I had a bad experience while traveling to South Africa for family vacation. My husband snored the whole on the plane. I felt embarrassed and I kept telling him to get help. All these years I have to put up with husband’s snoring and I am surprised how I survive these ordeals. I believe that his snoring has damaged our relationship. It has come to a stage that my relationship with my husband is on the rock. If only my friends can tell me what stop snoring remedies can end my misery.

There are many reasons that people snore. I can’t blame him if he has it since birth or some kind of defects in his septum. But he doesn’t. All he has is the obstruction with his throat. This happen when the air travel through narrow passageway in the throat which causes resonance.

It would be a simple solution if he snores occasionally. I only need to drop by a pharmacy and buy some over-the-counter remedies that can clear his air passageway. However, he doesn’t seem to be interested in these medicines. So, I tell him to try herbal remedies to stop snoring which usually are free of side effects.

One of the methods he tried is aromatherapy. But you need to be careful. The aromatherapist tells use that some of these oil cause damage to our health if used in wrong concentration. I think it is a wise move for him to consult a specialist. I don’t want anything bad happen on him.Before using any oil, he check with a professional aromatherapist. He massages the oil into the throat. Sometimes, he rinses his mouth with it as it help to soothe the irritated air passage. Once a while, he will make his own steam bath. He just adds the oils into the bath tub of hot water. See, how simple it is and it can clear any mucus that builds along the membrane of your throat. He has success with these home remedies to stop snoring. Now, I could hardly hear him snore.

Some of my friends say how fortunate I am because my husband doesn’t seem to experience any sleep apnea. This condition is usually associated with snoring. Usually a snorer will not know that he has sleep apnea until his wife reveals to him.  It can be fatal because during your sleep, you may stop breathing. This result in less oxygen for your body. If you leave it alone, then you will face a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, strokes or heart attack. The only to avoid these diseases is to see a doctor and seek immediate treatment.
Since he knows how to stop snoring, I can travel anywhere without feeling ashamed anymore. Anyway, not all stop snoring remedies may not work for you. You just keep on trying. However, you may need surgery if you have tried all methods in an attempt to end these woes.
