Snoring currently affects one in four people and whilst this equates to more than 15 million snorers in the UK, that's also an unhealthy number of pained partners and close family members too.
One of the many health issues associated with snoring is irregular sleep for both the snorer and the bed partner who has to put up with the snoring noise. An inability to keep prolonged sleep may lead to health consequences produced by sleep deprivation such as excessive sleepiness during the day, impatience, and a lack of productivity.
Helps Stop Snoring, available as a spray, is the market leading remedy and the only one in the UK to have sustained an in depth, scientific trial by a practising Ear, Nose and Throat consultant surgeon.
The research results have been astonishing; revealing that in 82% of cases snoring can be treated easily with a remedy made up of essential oils that can be applied directly to the throat.
The trial involved 140 snorers and their partners and achieved a groundbreaking success rate - four in five users said the remedy had naturally cut down their snoring. The findings were broadcast in a leading international medical journal, Phytotherapy Research, a first for a remedy of this kind.
The Helps Stop Snoring fusion includes anti spasmodics such as Fennel and Peppermint; Eucalyptus to clear bronchial passages; counter irritants like Clove Oil; Lemon and Pine which help check catarrh and blocked sinuses; plus Lemon Balm, Sage and Thyme Common which are generally good for breathing issues such as asthma.
The collective effect of essential oils has proved effective in reducing snoring for four out of five users and in many cases a more welcome alternative to the more drastic and unpleasant strategies like electric shock therapy, surgical removal of the soft palate and Injection Somnoplasty, which involves injection of a chemical scarring agent into the back of the throat on an annual basis.
Helps Stop Snoring is now exported across the world but closer to home is available nationally at major retailers like Boots, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Superdrug, Morrisons, Lloyds Pharmacy and The Co-operative Pharmacy, plus all good independent pharmacies, health stores and other convenience retailers.
