Nasal stuffiness is another common reason for mouth breathing, as we tend to breathe with our mouth open to compensate for not being able to breathe through the nose. It is essential that you find out what is causing the nasal stuffiness and treat it.
You may also like to try steam inhalation, this traditional remedy is very worthwhile. Alternatively, nasal and catarrhal congestion can be reduced by using herbal sprays. Our Rhynil Herbal Spray is safe for long term use and is currently our Best Selling snoring product.
Nasal stuffiness can also be caused by allergies. To find out more about the effect of allergies click here.
Rhynil is made from the plant known as Euphrasia Oficinalis or Eyebright. This plant was originally used as a treatment for eye problems but in recent years it has been widely used in the treatment of conditions such as catarrh, infectious and allergic conditions affecting the sinuses and nasal passages, hay fever and upper respiratory tract infections.
Individuals who suffer any condition that affects the nasal passages will find it difficult to breathe at night. This encourages mouth breathing and snoring as a consequence. The properties of Eyebright help relieve nasal congestion and related symptoms making nasal breathing easier.
Although there is very little published clinical data on the efficacy of Eyebright in reducing snoring, BSSAA has undertaken a total of 4 trials on its efficacy. The results of the trials concluded that 70% of subjects found a very definite improvement in reducing snoring, 20% found no improvement and 5% stopped the trial due to ill effects (2 subjects reported epistaxis (nose bleed), 1 reported vivid dreams, although these conditions cannot necessarily be attributed to the treatment).
Rhynil is recommended for individuals whose snoring originates from the soft palate, mouth breathing or nasal congestion.
