Regardless of whether you are a singer, give regular lectures or just talk a lot: the voice has to be cultivated. So here are a few natural remedies for your throat and voice that are very effective. They also help with hoarseness or temporary loss of voice.

Harmful factors for the voice

There are many different factors that negatively affect the throat and voice, here are some of them:

Certain diseases also affect throat health: not only flu and colds, thyroid disorders, digestive problems or diseases of the throat can also play a significant role.

Remedies for the throat and voice

1. Broad plantain

The plantain (Plantago Major) is widespread all over the world and grows particularly well in damp areas, e.g. near rivers or lakes.

This medicinal plant  soothes the throat, clears the voice and relieves pain and colds. This is especially useful for coughing and loss of voice.

• You can use plantain as a tea or to gargle.

2. Mallow

The mallow has similar effects to the common plantain, because its flowers and leaves contain mucous substances that protect the mucous membrane of the mouth and throat as well as the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines.

The mallow has anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and emollient properties that help with various problems:

• For example with an irritated throat,
• (dry) cough,
• Loss of voice,
• Hoarseness,
• Pharyngitis and
• Colds.

3. Sage

Sage has important anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Both are excellent for treating inflammation in the upper respiratory tract.

Sage can help with any type of sore throat. This medicinal plant also relieves tonsillitis, coughs, hoarseness or laryngitis.

4. Bee resin

Bee resin, also called propolis, has a natural antibiotic effect and thus strengthens the immune system and fights sore throats.

Propolis also has antiseptic properties and is rich in vitamins, minerals and essential oils. This makes bee resin perfect for all types of acute and chronic inflammatory processes of the respiratory tract.

• In a crisis situation, you can take 5 drops every hour until you feel better.

5. ginger

Ginger is a root with a refreshing and spicy taste. Due to its warming properties, it is highly recommended for the neck.

Ginger is a great home remedy for preventing and curing sore throats, especially for those who put a lot of stress on their voices every day (e.g. singers).

• You can use ginger in teas or beverages.
• As a spice, ginger goes well with meat and fish dishes.

6. cinnamon

Ceylon cinnamon has many health benefits. This aromatic spice  has a warming effect and stimulates the circulation. In addition, it has anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Therefore, cinnamon is perfect for complaints with the throat or voice. You can use it to make tea for yourself. Cinnamon also tastes delicious with lemon juice and honey or stevia.

7. Garlic as a remedy for the throat and voice

Similar to propolis, garlic has a strong antibiotic effect. It cleanses and soothes the throat, and also relieves pain.

• Ideally, garlic should be eaten raw. However, if you’re having trouble digesting or tasting, capsules are also available.

8. Turmeric

Turmeric is a spice that relieves both inflammation and pain. That’s why it’s a great addition to many dishes. You can use it to replace conventional pain relievers, which often have unpleasant side effects.

• Turmeric can be used in teas or as an ingredient in the famous “golden latte”.

9. Apple cider vinegar as a remedy for the throat and voice

Apple cider vinegar is a versatile natural remedy and can also help with sore throats. You can gargle with a mixture of vinegar and warm water to reduce inflammation and loosen mucus.
