Are There Any Anti Snoring Devices That Really Work?

Confused about the number of anti snoring devices available? Every snorer wants to get rid of their habit so they are an easy target for these types of product, but the trick is knowing which ones have the greatest chance of working before you break the budget and buy them all. We’ll review the most common ones in this article.to enable you to make a better choice.

Snoring pillows

These pillows supposedly support the sleeper’s neck thus keeping the airways open and separate the soft palate from the throat. Some of them will force the user to sleep on his side which will stop many people from snoring. Other snoring pillows also contain magnets which are supposed to relieve pain. However the is no solid evidence to show any reduction of snoring by using these pillows, although by forcing the user to sleep on his side, they would work for some people.

Nasal strips

Nasal strips help open the nasal passages so the user can breathe more freely through the nose rather than the mouth. This simple snoring device may indeed be helpful for snorers, but only if nasal congestion was the cause of snoring in the first place.

There are also devices to insert inside the nose to keep the nasal passages open. These also work to alleviate congestion, although they do tend to fall out frequently.

Throat spray

These work by lubricating and toning the loose tissues in the throat which helps to stop them vibrating. Most contain aromatherapy oils.

There is little evidence that throat sprays work but they may help to clear congestion.

Nasal sprays

Nasal sprays for snoring work to keep the nasal passages clear of congestion so that the snorer is less inclined to breathe through his mouth. These actually do what they’re designed to do but nasal sprays contain medication which makes them unsafe to use for more than 3 days in a row. More frequent use can lead to a dependency on these products and make the congestion worse.

Snoring pills

Snoring pills work in a similar fashion to the sprays by reducing swelling and congestion. Most snoring pills are based on natural ingredients, but others also contain anti histamines. The only real benefit from these pills is a decongestive effect.

Snoring ring

Invented in Australia, the anti snore ring works on the principle of acupressure. It must be worn on the pinky finger of the left hand. The ring works by creating a calming effect which allows a deep sleep without snoring.

Some people swear by the snoring ring and claim it has stopped their snoring permanently. However others who have used it say it has done nothing at all. Worth a try if you’re curious!

Throat exercises

These exercises are not new and there is some evidence to show they are effective. The main problem with throat exercises is that the snorer actually has to do them for them to work well. However, those that persevere and do the exercises have reported a reduction and sometimes complete elimination of their snoring. These exercises work by strengthening the tongue, throat and jaw which effectively ends soft tissue vibration.

In conclusion most anti snoring devices may work for some people but for most they’re a waste of money. The only snoring aids I can recommend are the snoring exercises for those who do not wish to use a Cpap or resort to surgery.
