Abstract
A method of managing snoring is provided by the instillation orally of a solution containing 1-20% methylsulfonylmethane by weight dissolved in water so as to cover the mucous membranes of the orophyrnx. Preferably, the solution has between 10%-15% by weight methylsulfonylmethane. The solution may be buffered, and/or a flavoring may be included. The method prefers that instillation occur as close to the sleep event as possible, and it should be at least within thirty (30) minutes to fifteen (15) minutes before a person retires for sleep. The solution may be introduced by spray or drop-wise, and a product packaging the solution in a suitable container is described.
