Many people believe that snoring is a sign of deep sleep and good health, even thinking that the louder the snoring, the better the sleep. However, this is not the case. In the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, a loud snore, especially when it is accompanied by waking up feeling suffocated, often indicates that certain channels in the body are experiencing "blockages." It's like a river, the sound of flowing water does not necessarily mean that there is an abundant water supply, more often it suggests that there is a bottleneck or obstruction in the flow.
