Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Snoring

Snoring is actually snoring that people often encounter. Some people have this situation very frequently when sleeping. If it is not so serious at this time, there is actually no need to take any treatment measures. If it has affected your normal sleep, you can no longer take conservative treatment. Surgical measures must be used to treat it, so that it can be relieved in a short time.

1. Conservative treatment for weight loss; Improve sleeping position, avoid lying on your back with a high pillow and your head bent forward; Instrumental therapy, such as nasal valve dilator, self-flowing tongue depressor, etc.

2. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients who have failed to respond to conservative treatment, whose snoring volume is greater than 60dB, whose breath-holding lasts for more than 10 to 20 seconds each time during sleep, whose breathing stops at least 10 times per hour of sleep, whose head feels swollen in the morning, who are confused and sleepy during the day, whose breath-holding and hypoxemia during sleep are confirmed by instrument examination, whose family members report typical symptoms, and whose pharyngeal cavity is narrowed. In this case, palatopharyngoplasty, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty or laser uvulopalatopharyngoplasty can be performed. Please note that the above surgery is not suitable for patients with central or mixed snoring, those with blood oxygen saturation below 50%, or those with micrognathia or retrognathia.

3. Drug therapy. Modern medical research has confirmed that the main cause of snoring is the stenosis and obstruction of the nose and nasopharynx, oropharynx and soft palate, and the root of the tongue. In addition, the relaxation of the soft tissue of the pharynx and the backward drop of the tongue during sleep prevent the airflow from passing freely through the airway of the pharynx. At present, there are many drugs that can treat snoring at home and abroad. Acetazolamide and thyroxine tablets promote metabolism and have certain effects. They can relieve the symptoms during the medication period, but cannot cure it.

The newly launched domestic dual therapy of Snoring and the American ET tablets can cure snoring. They all treat the root cause of snoring by correcting abnormal glandular secretions in the body, regulating the variation activity of cells related to the respiratory tissue, restoring abnormal exudates of the tracheal wall, soft palate and tongue root tissue, and nasal cells to normal, shrinking the local tissue structure to become healthy and resilient, unblocking the respiratory tract, making it smooth and airflowing smoothly, thereby curing snoring.

4. Diet and lifestyle: Eat more light food, such as vegetables, fruits, smoke less and do not drink alcohol. Go to bed early and get up early. Physical exercise can reduce snoring symptoms.

4. Use a snoring device to treat sleep physically. The principle is: by placing a personalized instrument in the mouth, the patient's lower jaw is fixed in an appropriate forward position. The forward protrusion of the lower jaw causes the genioglossus muscle to pull the tongue forward, so that the breathing passage at the back of the tongue is opened. At the same time, the forward movement of the tongue reduces the pressure of the tongue on the uvula, and the respiratory passage behind it is also opened. The airflow becomes smooth, thus curing snoring. This treatment method is non-invasive, low-cost and effective; the disadvantage is that it takes patients a few days to adapt to sleeping with a snoring device.
