Snoring and apnoea affect large percentages of the population. Snoring can be very stressful to relationships, and the peace of the home. We have heard from many couples who slept in separate bedrooms for years before they purchased Snore-Free. In some cases the snoring is so loud it disrupts the entire household. Both snoring and apnoea often leave a person tired and can have other side affects.
Snore-Free was developed to help alleviate snoring and sleep apnoea. Both conditions result from the restrictions of the nasal passages that cause the individual to breathe through the mouth instead of the nose. Most people who snore wake with a stuffed nose, a dry mouth, and in some cases, an irritated throat. The obvious solution is to keep the nasal passages open.
Snore-Free is a small device made of soft washable urethane material that has been independently tested to ensure it meets FDA standards. When clipped on the septum, as shown to the left, it applies a small amount of pressure to stimulate nerves, resulting in opening the nasal passages so you can breathe through your nose.
The noisy sounds of snoring occur when there is no free flow of air through the passages at the back of the mouth. This area is the collapsible part of the airway where the tongue and upper throat meet the soft palate and uvula. Snoring occurs when these structures strike each other and vibrate during breathing through the mouth. If the person were breathing through their nose, there would be no air passing these tissues and therefore, no snoring. Try making a snoring noise with your mouth open and then with it closed and you will see what we are talking about.
Many snoring remedies such as sprays don't address the real problem associated with snoring and breathing. They just mask the problem by coating the throat with oil so the vibrations don't make noise for a while. Removal of the uvula is often recommended, but it is painful and often doesn't accomplish its mission. None of these remedies help the real problem, which is the lack of ability to breathe through the nose. We have heard from people who went through painful uvula removal and still had their problems. Look on the TESTIMONIALS page for letters about this.
In addition to reducing or eliminating snoring, Snore-Free has proven to be very effective in assisting people with breathing disorders, some forms of sleep apnoea, those who have trouble breathing because of congestion or nasal restrictions and athletes who require more oxygen.
A simple cause of sleep apnoea can be obstruction of the nasal airway passages forcing the person to breathe through the mouth. Soft tissue in the mouth can obstruct airway passage in the throat not allowing the person to breathe. The sleeper can awaken sometimes hundreds of times during the night due to a blocked airway*.
Snore-Free normally opens the nasal passages immediately, but years of snoring may have conditioned the body, and it may take several days to start working, so don't give up.
Just clip it on the septum as shown on the left and you will find the results amazing. So will the person who sleeps with you (or used to).
* If apnoea symptoms persist with the use of Snore-Free, consult your physician.
