Natural remedies are becoming more and more popular in the treatment of medical conditions and diseases. Snoring is no exception, and there are a number of natural remedies available which are said to ease the severity of snoring.

Well known treatments such as homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal therapy, Chinese medicine, yoga and aromatherapy are all known to be effective in the treatment of snoring. Similarly, less well known treatments including, reiki, magnetic therapy and ayurvedic medicine are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of the condition.

Aside from over the counter natural remedies, probably the most common alternative treatment for snoring is herbal medicine. Herbalists make use of natural plant remedies as well as holistic diet and lifestyle changes in order to remedy snoring problems. Plants such as linden, sage and bitter orange all contain elements which, when drunk as a tea are thought to ease snoring. This type of treatment is often most successful when combined with herbs and foods which are thought to induce sleep such as passionflower, hops, balm balm and wild lettuce.

Similarly, followers of the ancient tradition of Traditional Chinese Medicine also make use various herbs and plants in order to treat snoring. In this case however, herbal medicine is combined with treatments to restore all of the systems of the body to their natural state of balance. These include colonic, liver and kidney cleansing as well as meditation and acupuncture.

Acupuncture and acupressure can on their own sometimes be enough to treat mild cases of snoring. Acupuncture is performed by a qualified acupuncturist and involves the insertion of miniscule needles into various parts of the body in order to stimulate energy centres. Acupressure is based on similar principles, but involves the use of pressure as opposed to needles in order to balance the body's energy fields. The advantage to this lies in the fact that the treatment can afterwards be applied by the snorer themselves in the comfort of their own homes.

Another popular natural remedy used to treat snoring is aromatherapy, although this treatment is generally only successful when the snoring condition is caused by allergy and sinus problems. Oils that are known for their decongestant and snore easing properties include pine oil, eucalyptus oil, Japanese mint oil, sage oil and lavender oil.

Combining aromatherapy oils with a form of yoga may increase the effectiveness of the treatment tenfold. This is due to the fact that correct breathing techniques form the basis of the yoga discipline and practicing these techniques has been known to reduce snoring substantially. Poses which open the airway are particularly effective and include, among others the Bridge, Turtle and Cobra poses.
