How To Make Snore Relieving Gel In A Jar

How To Make Snore Relieving Gel In A Jar

My post about making your own gel air fresheners with essential oils has been extremely popular since I originally posted it a few years back. I’ve always had a feeling there was more I could do with this idea, but I wasn’t feeling any particular inspiration about the subject until recently.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

My husband has always been a snorer, bless his heart. If any of you have spouses who snore, you’ll know what I’m talking about when I say that even though I love him dearly, sometimes I have to fight the urge to smother him with a pillow. (He doesn’t really appreciate this solution, but we agree to disagree.) I’ve been highly motivated to find some sort of solution to the snoring issue for a very long time, but it wasn’t until I thought back to the gel air fresheners that I came up with the idea for a gel snore reliever!

The great thing is that this isn’t JUST helpful for snorers (and their spouses!)…it can also help clear stuffy, irritated nasal passages of any kind! So if your family tends to get colds frequently or has allergy issues, you’ll definitely want to whip up a couple of these jars.

Here’s how to make them…

Snore Relieving Gel in a Jar

You’ll need:

  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 cup water, divided
  • 2 4oz mason jars
  • Marjoram, peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender essentail oils
  • Food coloring (optional)

How To Make Snore Relieving Gel In A Jar

Directions:

Heat 3/4 cup of water in a small pot or pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of salt, and stir until the salt dissolves completely.

Slowly add the contents of the 2 packets of gelatin to the water, and stir until dissolved.

Remove the mixture from heat and add the remaining 1/4 cup of water.

Pour the liquid carefully into your two 4oz mason jars, then add the essential oils. Add 5 drops each of marjoram, peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender essential oils, for a total of 20 drops in each jar. Add a drop or two of food coloring too, if you’d like (just to make it a bit more visually interesting.)

Place the jars into your fridge to cool and solidify, then cover with a lid.

How To Make Snore Relieving Gel In A Jar

To Use:

At bedtime, open the jar and hold it near your nose. Take a few deep breaths through your nose, then leave the jar open on your nightstand while you sleep.

Marjoram essential oil relieves tension and relaxes muscles, promoting restful sleep. Peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils are excellent at reducing inflammation in the nasal passages, which helps clear the airways and eliminate snoring. And finally, lavender essential oil is very relaxing, helping to carry you off to a restful, snore-less sleep. :-)

(As with all gelatin products, higher temperatures can cause this gel to liquify. If this happens, no worries! Just stick the jar back in the fridge until it has solidified again.)

I don’t understand why the instructions on how to make the snore relieving gel in a jar only mentions putting the jars in the fridge until the gel, then put the lid on instead of including the comment that it’s okay to put the jars in the fridge WITH the lids on.

My sister just about killed me because of the strong smell of the essential oils filling the fridge.

Sorry for the hassle and strong smell, Diana! The lids can definitely be put on for fridge time :-)

is there another carrier oil or way to distribute the scent? Instead of using gelatin?

You could put the oils in a diffuser, or just drop the oils onto a cotton ball and place the cotton ball in a mason jar. :-) You could also make these: http://jillee.co/2g3cZBH

Depend on how often you leave the jar open. I just open mine before bed and put the lid back on in the morning, so they last about a month or two.

I LOVE peppermint oil! But it has a tendency to keep me awake at night even in small amounts. Maybe not as a diffused scent I suppose but would you replace or just leave it out? Maybe a respiratory blend would work since they are not straight peppermint…

Nope, it’s not really something that you can apply or rub in. Try this, instead: http://jillee.co/2g3cZBH
