The document discusses snoring, its causes, treatments, and self-care approaches. Snoring occurs when throat tissues vibrate from air flow during breathing while sleeping and can be caused by factors like mouth anatomy, alcohol, and sleep apnea. Treatments may include lifestyle changes, oral appliances, surgery, or CPAP machines. Yoga practices like breathing exercises, inversions, and meditation can help address muscle tension and relaxation to reduce snoring.

1. Snoring

9. Snoring occurs when air flows past relaxed tissues as patient breathe. The sagging tissues narrow the airway, causing these tissues to vibrate.

15. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine to eliminate snoring and prevent sleep apnea. A CPAP machine delivers just enough air pressure to keep the upper airway passages open.

16. Heavy snorers have their air flow impeded by the structures at the back of the mouth and nose (A and B), which can be alleviated by surgery. In UPPP, the patient's uvula, soft palate, and tonsils are removed (C and D).
