There are some simple and common home remedies for snoring. Why everybody is searching for home remedies? The reason for people searching home remedies is they are 100% natural,safe,effective and they are free. Here we are going to look for the most simple and common remedies available for stop snoring.
Limit the drinking of alcohol around bedtime. Snoring is caused by the relaxation of muscles in and around the mouth. Since alcohol acts as a sedative for most people, drinking alcohol around bedtime increases the chances of snoring. If you need an alcoholic drink, try to have it at least three hours before going to sleep.
Most people look for home remedies or over the counter drugs to stop snoring because the alternative is not appealing to them. If you have tried everything and still no results, then surgery might be your only choice. Talk with your doctor before embarking on a home remedy regimen. Your doctor will be able to tell you if the home remedies will be effective or not. Doing it this way will stop you from wasting your time on a wild goose chase
Another remedy to stop snoring involves changing your sleeping position. When a snorer sleeps on their back it causes the muscles in the throat to relax which makes the snoring sound. A simple change in your sleeping position may improve your breathing, however chronic snorers are able to snore in any sleeping position.
Weight loss is also one of the important stop snoring home remedies. This is because weight loss actually contributes to the condition in the first place. Excessive weight in your neck and chest can cause enough pressure on your muscles. This, in turn, disrupts the normal breathing process. Thus, if you are overweight, then you should consider taking on a diet plan. Just make sure yours is prescribed by a licensed physician, dietician, or nutritionist. Generally, a diet plan would also have you take on a more active lifestyle.
While there is no one herb that appears to be a cure all when it comes to snoring, combinations of various herbs have proven to be effective for many people. Commonly, a combination of passion flower and peppermint leaf powder yields some excellent results when then it comes to mild or moderate bouts of snoring. For more advanced situations, adding valerian root to the combination seems to strengthen the chances of offsetting bouts of snoring
Sleeping Position – One of the best stop snoring home remedy that I can offer you is to try and change your sleeping position. Did you know that by lying on your back you increase the chances of snoring at night? Try falling asleep on your side or stomach at night. It is much harder to snore in these positions. A little trick is to use a pillow on you side to prevent yourself from rolling onto your back
Union leaders have complained of a “distinct lack of jobs” in the UK, highlighting figures showing that the number of long term unemployed has doubled since before the recession.
The TUC said almost 250,000 people in England, Scotland and Wales had been claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance for at least a year, twice as many as at the start of 2008.Ahead of new unemployment figures, the TUC said the increase in long-term unemployment was caused by hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost during the recession and insufficient new ones being created.The union organisation warned that the position was likely to get worse as jobs were lost due to the Government’s spending cuts, which some experts believe could put an extra million people on the dole.Birmingham had the highest number of long-term unemployed claimants at 12,475, a 42% increase since January 2008, while in Glasgow the figure has increased by 121% to 5,545, and in Liverpool there were 4,760 people claiming JSA who have not worked for more than a year, a rise of almost a third, said the TUC.By the wider International Labour Organisation measure of unemployment, which includes people not eligible for benefit, there were currently 811,000 people facing long-term unemployment, an increase of 110% since the start of the recession.TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said: “The UK has 2.5 million people out of work, not because we’re a nation of work shy scroungers without a work ethic, but because with an average five unemployed people chasing every vacancy, there is a distinct lack of jobs.”The number of people who have been out of work for a year or longer has more than doubled since January 2008. Unemployed people are the victims here, not the villains.”The Government should stop blaming unemployed people for their predicament and start creating rather than cutting jobs.”
There’s more bad news about HRT (hormone replacement therapy), despite the best efforts of drug companies to put up a PR smokescreen. Not only does the drug cause heart disease and breast cancer in menopausal women, researchers have also discovered it increases the risk of ovarian cancer by 29 per cent.
If you must take HRT, take it for only a limited time, say researchers from Oxford University who discovered the drug’s new dangers. They profiled the health of 126,920 women over nine years, and found that those who were currently taking HRT had a 29 per cent increased risk of ovarian cancer. The risk disappeared in women who had taken the drug, but had since stopped the treatment.
The researchers discovered the risk was consistent across all types of HRT – whether estrogen or estrogen plus progestin – and dose.
This latest news is a blow to drug manufacturers, who have mounted a sustained campaign of spin and PR masquerading as science since 2001 when the first health concerns over HRT were raised by the prestigious Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study.

Our mind can dramatically alter disease – and even improve painful, chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, a new study has discovered.
Researchers made the discovery when they were reviewing the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies on a group of 83 rheumatoid arthritis patients.
They discovered it wasn’t the remedy, but the consultation – the time spent talking to a homeopath, who was sympathetic to their pain – that was making the difference.
After the consultation, the participants reported physical changes to swollen joints, and a decrease in pain and negative feelings.
Food allergy may soon be a thing of the past – if a Chinese herbal formula turns out to be as beneficial as early test results are suggesting.
A new Chinese herbal formula, FAHF-2 (Food Allergy Herbal Formula), has already significantly reduced allergy to peanuts when it was tested on laboratory mice.
Thus far, FAHF-2 has passed two levels of clinical trials, and has been proven to be safe in humans, and its preventative effects last for 40 weeks – giving people with food allergies nearly a year free of discomfort and bloating.
Allergist Helen Chan, one of the researchers, said that the formula is a one-course treatment that may be effective against all allergens, and not just peanuts.

One in 10 children in America suffers from ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder), and two-thirds of these – around 2.7 million – are taking medication, new figures reveal.
About 5.4 million American children, aged from 4 to 17 years, have some form of ADHD, according to the latest figures. This represents a 21 per cent increase over a four-year period.
The current levels could be even worse as these figures represent the situation in 2007, when the survey was carried out. If the trend has continued, 6.48 million American children have ADHD today.
The increase has happened across all socio-demographic groups, and especially among older teenagers, who have witnessed a 42 per cent rise.
Researchers from the US’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveyed parents, who were asked if a doctor or healthcare provider had diagnosed ADHD in their child.

Canada has already classified it as toxic – now health authorities around the world may ban the chemical BPA (bisphenol A), which is used in cans, bottles and food packaging.
The World Health Organization is considering a global ban because the chemical can affect the fetus and the newborn child, especially if it feeds from a plastic bottle. Canada has recently banned the use of BPA in baby bottles, and has classified the chemical as toxic.
Even low levels of BPA can cause prostate enlargement and affect the development of mammary glands. Research studies have also discovered that people working in factories that manufacture BPA had poor sperm quality, and it could also cause heart disease.
BPA mimics the body’s hormones, which can cause neurological problems, too.
Even people with raised levels of cholesterol don’t need to take a statin drug – the Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and oils, does the job just as well.
The diet reduces levels of LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol by 35 per cent, while raising levels of HDL, or ‘good’, cholesterol 12 per cent. Scientists believe the monounsaturated fat (MUFA) in the diet is having the positive effect
They tested the diet on 24 people with low to moderately high levels of cholesterol. The patients had already been on a low saturated-fat diet that had not reduced levels. Half were put on a either a high or low-MUFA diet. The high-MUFA diet included a sunflower oil, which was spread on salads and vegetables.
The researchers, from St Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, noted a “significant reduction” in cholesterol levels of those who had the high-MUFA diet for two months.

How do you know a drug is safe and effective? Because it’s tested against a placebo, or sugar pill, and you know it works if it significantly outperforms the dummy pill. But suppose the sugar pill isn’t as benign as we think – suppose it contains a chemical that makes even a bad drug look good? The trouble is, nobody has checked – until now.
Finally, researchers have started to take a look at the placebo, a method used in countless drug trials over the years. A research team from the University of California’s school of medicine in San Diego scanned four of the major medical journals published in 2008 and 2009 – and discovered that hardly any trials listed the ingredients of the placebo.
As the composition of the placebo can have a big effect on a drug trial’s results, its ingredients should be listed every time, they say.

A positive outlook doesn’t just make you feel better – it has a profound influence on your body, your health and your longevity, researchers have discovered.
Positive thoughts create more telomerase, an enzyme that help maintain the long-term health of the cells in our body. Cells die when levels of the enzyme are too low.
Meditation is one technique for achieving an immediate change in our mood and thoughts – and increase telomerase activity, say researchers from the University of California at San Francisco.
They tested 30 participants at a meditation retreat at the Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado, who were taught Buddhist meditation techniques, and compared them with 30 similar controls, who did not meditate.
The amalgam fillings in your teeth could cause a range of health problems, including Alzheimer’s – and now a Californian city is telling its dentists to stop using the material. It is also calling on the other 33 cities in Orange County to use a better alternative to amalgam, which contains mercury.
The call, by Costa Mesa City Council, could be the beginning of the end for amalgam fillings, even though dental associations maintain they are safe. Despite the assurances, Sweden has banned mercury fillings, and Austria and Germany has restricted their use.
The Costa Mesa resolution calls on state and federal agencies to eliminate amalgam fillings, urges dentists in the city to use safer alternatives, and invites the other 33 cities in Orange County to oppose dental mercury.
Evidence is showing that mercury vapours from the fillings are causing a range of chronic, systemic health problems. Several reports have confirmed that the fillings are a direct cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
Fibromyalgia causes fatigue and chronic pain throughout the body – and there’s little the doctor can offer, other than painkillers. But now there’s something the sufferer can do, and it can make a big difference, a new study has discovered.
A yoga programme, which includes gentle poses, meditation and breathing exercises, can reduce the worst symptoms of fibromyalgia, researchers have discovered.
A research team from Oregon Health & Science University divided a group of 53 fibromyalgia sufferers into those either who took part in an eight-week yoga programme or who carried on with conventional therapy of medication and exercise.
The yoga group showed marked improvements in pain levels, fatigue, stiffness, poor sleep, depression, poor memory, anxiety and balance. Pain levels were reduced by 24 per cent, fatigue by 30 per cent and depression by 42 per cent.
Medicine has got it seriously wrong about flu viruses. Although they are often heralded as killers – such as happened with the recent swine flu and avian flu viruses – they rarely are fatal. It’s what happens next that is the problem.
Researchers have discovered that secondary, bacterial infections are far more likely to be fatal, and account for the majority of deaths associated with flu viruses.
This means that the current flu vaccine programme is flawed because it is concentrating entirely on the original virus. Governments spend billions of pounds every year on stocks of anti-virals to protect against seasonal flu as well as the occasional so-called pandemics, such as avian and swine flu.
But in an analysis of the Spanish flu outbreak of 1918 – the most lethal of modern times – researchers have discovered that most deaths were caused by bacterial infections, such as pneumonia.
The same pattern can be seen today, say the researchers from the US’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Of the deaths recorded in the recent swine flu (H1N1) outbreak, around 55 per cent were caused by a secondary bacterial infection.
Governments and drug companies need to go back to the drawing board, and come up with flu shots that include an anti-bacterial, say the researchers.
