Herbal Cures for Snoring

Most of us like to be getting around eight hours of sleep every night to allow us to operate at our best during the day. It is likely that you may not have had the chance to try any herbal cures for snoring.
 If we have trouble sleeping, we try to count sheep of listen to soothing music before running off to the doctors and hope that he will whip out a super pill to get us to sleep.

But one thing to remember is that most pills will only ever offer a temporary solution. It is just a vicious circle as you need to keep taking the tablets to get any sleep. Bringing us right back to the start. Instead of pills, why not try a herbal route.

So what are the herbal cures available to most of us?

An essential amino acid called Tryptophan is a good one to start with. This natural substance is found in high protein products like dairy foods.  Tryptophan is very good for calming the body and is found naturally in Eggs, milk, turkey and bananas.

Also found in many dairy products is Calcium which is also very good for keeping the body nice and calm.

 Herbal teas such as Camomile, peppermint, passion flower and red balm are proven winners before bedtime.

Melatonin is the name of a substance which can naturally occur in the human body while asleep or at rest. A lot of research has been done on Melatonin and has been proven to help many people.

A lot of ingredients which can be purchased at most health shops can help. Ones to look for are St Johns Wort, Skullcap, Californian Poppy, Valerian and Chamomile.

But please remember that as with prescription sleeping tablets, herbal remedies can also be addictive. The upside is that as these are all natural remedies, the risk of addiction is very low.
