Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
My husband has sleep apnea (has a C-PAP machine, but does not use it) and has snored VERY loudly his whole life. He has tried many different methods to decrease snoring (nasal strips, anti-snore pillow, etc.)... but none have worked.
I heard that Thyme works wonders, and even though I was VERY skeptical, I put some on his big toes (neat) and on the back of his neck (diluted). He slept quietly the entire night!
We have been married over 10 years and NEVER has he gone an entire night without snoring! It was amazing. (I actually had to make sure he was still breathing... he was so quiet... lol)
We have done this faithfully for the last several weeks and every night he does not snore! Last night, he fell asleep without the Thyme applied. When I came in the room he was snoring a little bit. I applied the Thyme (he slept right through it) and within just a few minutes, he was sleeping quiet as a mouse.
Even though we were skeptical... the results don't lie. Thyme oil has made a believer out of me!
