WHO HAS A SNORING PARTNER?
Before you smother your partner with a pillow or punch their nose, kick them out of the room, try a completely different approach.
My husband was snoring up a storm while on his side. Usually being on his side stops the snoring. I felt compelled to gently place my right hand over the top right side of his head, fingers pointing up. He instantly stopped. I moved my hand, he started snoring again. I placed my hand in the same position 6 more times and each time he stopped completely. By the 6th time, after I stopped placing my hand there, after a minute or so I realized the snoring was much more subtle. Why? I went down a rabbit hole and found that many of the places my hand was pressing on were accupressure points for calming, draining and snoring. These are also areas I work on as a massage therapist to get a client to relax.
Accupressure points, and calming affects.
The human touch can be very calming. The PARIETAL LOBE is responsible for major sensory information,"touch". This is where my fingertips were.
EMOTION, the TEMPORAL LOBE is involved in emotion. This is where the bulk of the weight of my hand was.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE, lymphatic build up in the sinuses can lead to more difficulty breathing causing one to snore.
My thumb was over the top corner of his 👂 ear , the EAR APEX. The outer side of my thumb was pressing just behind his ear, the ANMIAN PRESSURE POINT. This area is believed to promote peaceful sleep in accupuncture.
PRE-AURICULAR and PAROTID NODES pressure points help drain the nasal cavity.
Try this, let me know if it worked for you.
