Snoring

My husband's snoring is driving me crazy. I was awake until 3:30 last night because of it. Yes, he is overweight, but can homeopathy do anything to ameliorate it?

It just doesn't seem like your garden variety snoring. Changing position doesn't help. This is like something collapses in his throat and blocks the airway. And sometimes his cheeks puff out on exhalation. I've seen the word "stertorous" in the repertory. Would that apply?

He's had Opium before with no improvement, but maybe it wasn't the right potency.

Anyone had any success with snoring? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Ruth, I am just beginning to learn a bit about homeopathy, so I will look forward to responses about this from others more experienced.

My husband frequently snores as well, especially if he is congested from allergies or has had a cold. I know the jury is still out on the combination remedies, but he purchased some type of homeopathic "No Snore" tablets (I don't recall the name or brand) that are taken before bedtime. It didn't stop him from snoring completely, but it did quiet it enough that it wasn't awakening me every 20 minutes. He's also used a throat spray that has MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) as the active ingredient. Like the combination homeopathic remedy before, it quieted his snoring enough that I could nearly get a decent night's sleep.

I know this can be a frustrating situation. I hope you (and he) find relief!

Thanks for the reply Tharri. Yes I have tried a combination formula for snoring also, called "Snore Relief" by Newton Labs. The problem is, it's a liquid and has an alcohol taste so it annoys him when I try to give him a dose in the middle of the night. He also claims it doesn't work, but I don't know for sure since I never get more than one dose in him.

Also, he's very irritable when awakened and since the snoring doesn't bother him, he isn't particularly motivated to do anything about it.

Hoping someone can narrow down the remedies to something I can give as a single dose before bedtime or something in a high potency that will work long term.

i am really discouraged to know that opium failed.because it is the remedy par excellence.however you must try nux vomica 200 .i hope it shall give relief but you have to use it sometime.thanks.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
Thank you studying this, Dr. If we were to try the Opium again, what potency and repetition would you suggest?

I would be VERY interested in this as well. My husband and I sleep in different rooms since the we have had children- I sleep lighter, especially with breastfeeding in the night and he snores so loud I was exhausted all the time. His too is like apnea and I am concerned. Strong constitution though, never gets sick, a rock, yes overweight too. The homeopath also gave him opium with no improvement.

We have tried both the combo remedies mentioned over the years, eliminating milk, etc.

I have searched in vain for a solution because we miss sharing sleep, especially now since one child sleeps with me and one with him and we wish for all to cosleep together.

I will certainly keep watch
ing this thread.

Wendy, et al,

I have suggested the use of a product called Snore-Stop. It is a homeopathic product that comes in tablets (three various varieties based upon whether the snoring is allergy based, environmentally-based, etc.) There is also a spray. Here is info I found on it:

Snore Stop was developed by a Portland naturopathic physician, Kenneth Rifkin, N. D. Snore Stop appears to be a safe and effective treatment for non-apneic snoring.

Since many on this Forum are not from the US, I don't know how easy it is to obtain. It's simple to get it from many sources on the web by just entering "Snore-Stop homeopathic remedy" into the search engine.

The way I found out about it is I was in New York at a conference two years ago and shared a room with another ND who snored like a very loud engine. I couldn't get a wink of sleep and I wanted to be fresh for the conference. I asked around for any natural snoring remedies and someone (thankfully) gave me a free sample of Snore-Stop. I gave it to the guy who was more than happy to try it as he said he and wife slept in different rooms due to his severe problem. Well, it worked. We were only at the conference for several days so I don't know the long-term effects but give it a go.

ruth 45if you want to use opium again use 30 potency and repeat thrice daily till cure.it will not do harm.if you dont see any improvement in 7 days probably its indication is not proper.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
A very simple remedy is to sleep on your side instead of your back. This stops most people from snoring. Hope it helps you too.

Lying on the side instead of the back doesnt usually help people with a big sleeping problem. I wonder if there is something similar to Snore-Stop I could get in India.

Dear Jim Sheldon,
Is it possible to use all the homeopathic remedies used in storestop and create a combination remedy at home if we have all the individual remedies? I would be quite tempted to try it out.
Please advise.
 
crabcanc last decade
I personally wouldn't try that. I'm sure their propietary blend is made in such a way that its difficult to copy. I've tried in the past to replicate these types of formulas on my own and it was not a great success. You can't get Snore-Stop?
 
Jim Sheldon ND last decade
Ive asked a relative of mine to get it from America as she is coming here in a few days. If she doesnt, Ill order it from the U.S and get it shipped here..
thanks for the reply.
cheers

My hubby has just tried the snorestop nasal spray and throat spray. It seems to work. his breathing was much clearer when he sprayed it last nite and he didnt snore last nite!! I couldnt get the tablets though...Ill try and get hold of them by internet order.But if anyone is facing this problem, I would recommend this spray.
Think the only alternative is to get it from the internet if you dont live in the U.S. Bit expensive but worth it.
There is hope!
 
crabcanc last decade
Dear crabcanc.
oh no dont use nasal spray for your hubby.i think these nasal spray only dialate the respiratory tract and their secondary reaction is congestion.if there is any problem in the nose that must be cured,and if it is habtitual it is difficult to cure i hope u can give me sometime to find out the proper remedy to cure your hubby.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
dear sajjad,
these sprays that my hubby is using are homeopathic in nature. Their website is snorestop. Do you think that is still harmful? Please let me know. As Jim mentioned in his earlier post...all the ingredients are homeopathic and harmless. what say you?

DEAR CRABCANC,
most of the nasal spray contain steroid.your husband will become addicted and its continuous use will damage liver and joints beyond repair.please avoid.
in my student days .i was sharing a room with another one.he used to snore.i found the remedy by plugging my ears with cotton wool.u may try this also.by the way homeopathic remedy mostly used is opium frequent repetition.I have gone through the web site.not satisfied.
thanks.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
dear sajjad,
I checked on the box of this product and it says it does not contain any steroids at all and is 100% natural. I was inclined to think it had steroids as it was a spray and I always stay away from such products. But it does mention the homeo remedies on the product...and there is nothing else in it. Only aqueous water. What say you?
 
crabcanc last decade
DEAR CRABCANC,
Steroid and steroid only.dont give it to your husband.people lie.people who speak truth are always pushed back.
 
sajjadakram635 last decade
Homeopathy prescribed conveniently - THIS FOR THAT
