Snoring

Snoring can be a very aggravating problem. It can be very hard on one's health and on a marriage. A young woman wrote in to Mamasource that she was having a really hard time with her husband's snoring. I wrote a response, because I know how very hard that situation can be. What I shared with her was similar to this:

Apparently different things work for different people.

1. Certain foods might aggravate snoring more. My husband snores more when he eats potatoes, or dairy products.

2. Lavender oil sprinkled on my husband's pillow sometimes helps quiet him down, but it's not a permanent thing.

3. What really seems to help him, however, is going through a "script" in the book Feelings Buried Alive Never Die, by Karol Truman. (About page 92) It's a script for clearing out things in general, but in the back of the book there is a list of common conditions or ailments that could be helped by plugging them into the script. I looked up snoring in the book and put in statements that seemed to be relevant for him. Now when he starts snoring again, he merely reads through the script once before going to bed. If he does that for a night or two, the snoring will stop. It's amazing how well it works. He used to wake me up several times a night, and it was awful. As I said, snoring can be very hard on a marriage.

4. AND here's a quote from the Essential Oils Desk Reference: "SNORING: Rub 4-6 drops thyme oil diluted 50-50 [with a vegetable oil] on the soles of both feet at bedtime." (The oils that we use are from Young Living Essential Oils. Others may work if they are very pure, therapeutic grade oils.)

5. Last but not least--people have had excellent results by using EFT (a quick, painless technique that involves tapping on a few acupressure points on the body). Sometimes those results have lasted for months or even years. I suggest going to www.emofree.com/ click here
Once at the emofree website do a search for snoring, and you will come up with several interesting articles.

Hopefully some of these things will help. It's no fun to live with a snorer.
