100 PERCENT NATURAL WAYS TO YOU GETTING A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP By: Terry Glass There is undoubtedly nothing worse then sleeping with a partner who snores, so loudly that it would drown out a drag cars engine at full speed. Not only that but to listen to someone snore from the moment their head hits the pillow to the moment they wake up can lead to taking some drastic measures. Those drastic measures could be the sufferer to use ear plugs, sleep in another room or sleep in a different state or country, period. The causes of snoring are often the narrowing of the airway between the mouth and the lungs. That is the throat. The throat airway is not that wide in actual fact and any restriction in this area does create problems. Remember having a cold or flu how difficult it was to breath with all the congestion and irritation in your throat and bronchi. The same can be said for snoring. The airway is narrowed by the relaxation of muscles of the soft palate and the tongue causing the palate to drop and the tongue to fall backwards into the throat. The meeting of the two pieces of tissue restrict the airway causing vibrations as the air passes between the two. It is the vibrations and the reverberations from the abdomen that causes the snoring noise. This noise can be little to non-existent in some people to others having a definite roar. When we have a cold or flu we take natural remedies to reduce inflammation and congestion. Well did you know you can apply the same principles to your partner who snores? Those principles are basically introduced to allow the airway to be open and thus, reduce the vibrations and the loud noise caused by the snore. If you speak with your partner about their snoring, you are often met with a rebuttal of some sorts. The reason why is because they cannot help the fact they snore. Sure you may have heard that being overweight, smoking and drinking alcohol causes snoring but they are only external contributing factors. The reason we snore is the reduction of the airway in the throat. This is caused by the soft palate and the tongue meeting when the muscles are relaxed. Sure being overweight contributes, but that is only because of the extra fatty deposits in the throat. Alcohol and drugs contribute to snoring because the person is relaxed more and enters a deep sleep pattern resulting in deeper breathing. The fact remains, it is the narrowing of the airway between your mouth and bronchi leading into your lungs that cause snoring due to the vibration of air passing between the soft palate and tongue tissue. The one hundred percent natural cure is simple and basic in itself. First, we know the tongue falls backwards into the throat when we sleep due to our muscles relaxing. The cure is to add an extra pillow to hold the head up where the tongue will assume its natural position, forward and in the mouth. The soft pallet muscles relax causing the palate to drop. This drop is very minimal but with the tongue falling back and being in close proximity, the vibrations or air are created between the two tissues. The cure is to use natural oils that promote open airways and sinuses, just as you would with a cold or flu. In the bedroom have a scent of oil, not a heavy scent as it can become to over powering. The oils are those that you use for a cold and flu. Use menthol oils and eucalyptus oils that promote clear passageways in the head, the sinuses as well as the throat. Breathing in air is not an art. If we suffer from lack of breath there are products that we can use to assist and those products are often one hundred per cent natural oils. By using menthol oils, the airways are opened and the head is clear. This allows air to freely enter our bodies and there will be no vibrations.
