Snoring in Ayurveda is commonly related to aggravated Kapha dosha, poor nasal airflow, weight gain, allergy-related congestion, irregular sleep habits, or weakened throat muscles during sleep. Since you also have seasonal allergies and disturbed sleep, nasal blockage may be contributing to the problem. You can try the following Ayurvedic measures: Avoid heavy dinner, curd, cold drinks, ice cream, and oily foods at night. Take dinner at least 2–3 hours before sleep. Sleep on your side instead of your back. Steam inhalation with a pinch of ajwain or eucalyptus oil before bed may help open nasal passages. Warm water throughout the day helps reduce Kapha accumulation. Regular exercise and weight control are beneficial even if snoring is moderate. Helpful Ayurvedic medicines often used: Sitopaladi Churna with honey for allergy-related congestion. Talisadi Churna if there is mucus or throat blockage. Anu Taila nasal drops (2 drops in each nostril in the morning) can improve nasal breathing and reduce snoring tendency. Since your sleep is frequently interrupted, it is important to rule out conditions like deviated nasal septum, sinus blockage, or sleep apnea if symptoms worsen, especially if there is daytime sleepiness, choking sensation during sleep, or loud snoring
