Herbal Remedies for Hoarseness
A condition where the vocal cords become strained by too much talking or singing; pharyngitis or inflammation of the voicebox due to infection can contribute to the problem, which can become chronic.
Resting the voice is essential. Soothing demuclents, expectorants to reduce mucus congestion, and mucous membrane tonics can help.
