Snoring

Conventional Medical Treatments For Snoring

• The most common surgical approaches to snoring include cutting out the tonsils and reshaping the back of the mouth (uvulopathopharyngoplasty), using a laser to wound and scar the palate in order to make it stiffer (laser uvulopathopharyngoplasty)
• Where snoring is caused by a larger hyoid bone, maxillomandibular surgery is performed
• Removing the uvula and part of soft palate (Uvulo-Palatoplasty)
• Avoiding alcohol and managing weight is usually suggested to help with snoring, along with using a flatter pillow, avoiding sleeping tablets, sleeping on your side and making sure the bedroom is well ventilated

All surgical options involve some risk and are well known to fail in a high percentage of cases, making them drastic measures for a condition predominantly caused by poor brain integration and worsened by hereditary, lifestyle and dietary factors, an area where holistic and natural medicine excels.
