As an alternative to the commercially available stop snoring remedies, you can also try the following:

  • Steam inhalation of essential oils of eucalyptus blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) or peppermint (Mentha piperata) can relieve congestion and thus improve snoring in some cases.

  • Snoring caused by nasal congestion may be successfully treated with decongestants. Some effective herbal remedies that clear the nasal passages include goldenrod (Solidago virgauria) and goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis).

Herbal remedies may be in the form of dried extracts (capsules, powders,teas), glycerites (glycerine extracts), or tinctures (alcohol extracts). Herbal teas should generally be made with one teaspoon herb per cup of hot water (unless indicated otherwise). Steep covered 5 to 10 minutes for leaf or flowers, 10 to 20 minutes for roots. Ask your herbal remedy supplier for further guidance.

Essential Oils

Many of the herbal stop snoring remedies listed above contain essential oils but there is also the do-it-yourself option. Marjoram essential oil can be an effective stop snoring remedy, helping keep the nasal passages and upper respiratory clear. Try a 50/50 blend of marjoram and lavender oils, either on your pillow or applied below the nose before sleeping, or using an electric diffuser.

Blends of the following essential oils have also helped some people as stop snoring remedies: Common Mint, Peppermint, Lemon, Lemon Balm, Clove, Pine, Fennel, Sage, Thyme, Citronella, Eucalyptus, Lavender,Scotch Pine, and Mastic.
