These conditions are due to obstruction in nasal passages due to catarrh. When snoring has become a firm habit, the patient should practise ‘Pranayama’.
The trouble may be due to a permanent obstruction, such as provided by adenoids. In these cases, the adenoids must be treated by means of ‘Neti’ before any relief can be gained.
Adults who snore are generally found to sleep on their backs. They must be induced to change on one side. This can be done by banking up the clothes, at the sides, with a blanket, folded to provide a wall. They should also try a second pillow under the head.
