Snoring Sprays – Do They Work?

Snoring is an unpleasant habit and can wreak havoc in your personal life. For some people, snoring has become a way of life and the hapless people around them have no option but to grin and bear it. Several devices have been invented and introduced that claim to combat snoring issues and eliminate them completely. A snoring spray is one such device that is supposed to relieve snoring.

A snoring spray has to be sprayed towards the back of the throat before sleeping. The spray diminishes snoring by toning and coating the soft tissues of the throat. These sprays also possess astringent properties that make the tissues taut around the soft palate to decrease vibrations. They claim to be operative for around 8 hours and some of them declare that they can allay allergy symptoms like pet hair allergy, hay fever etc.

However, snoring sprays need to be accompanied by a change in lifestyle if they have to work. These sprays won’t be of any use to you if you smoke like a chimney and consume alcohol like there’s no tomorrow. It’s also advisable to consult a doctor before trying out any snoring spray. Some of the ingredients used in the sprays may cause a reaction if you’re allergic to them.

There are many sprays available in the market today but lets explore the salient features of two of them;

Breathe Right Snore Relief Throat Spray

This spray claims to take the edge off the incidence and loudness of snoring. It greases and tones the tissues of the throat to enable you to enjoy a restful uninterrupted sleep. It’s pleasing to the taste buds and is devoid of artificial colors and flavors. It maintains that it can bring relief to 85% of people suffering from snoring issues. It is priced at $12.89 and is shipped only in the US.

Silent Snore Oral Spray

Silent Snore Oral Spray is unique because it is the only one that contains MSM (methylsufonylmethane), an agent that is scientifically proven to combat snoring disorders. A study was conducted and the results showed that it was effective in 90% of the cases. It costs $11.25 dollars and holds 60 servings per container. The main ingredients are ethanol, peppermint extract, glycerin and purified water. You have to spray it directly towards the back of the throat for maximum effect.

Do these sprays really work? The reviews are mixed. Some people experienced relief from snoring while others claim that they just don’t work. Though snoring sprays may not be a long-term answer to snoring caused by obesity, alcohol consumption and chain smoking, in the short run they may provide some reprieve from snoring until you get your lifestyle sorted out.
