Vocal Health Care Solutions for a Tired or Over-used Voice
David Aaron
Katz
Almost every
singer, speaker, actor or fellow clergy with whom I have worked, has on more
than one occasion had to perform with a tired or over-used voice, some level of
mucus and low energy. It seems to be part of our job description. Whether it’s
an audition, presentation, performance or sermon, we need to be in top vocal
form. However, life’s responsibilities simply don’t disappear when we need to
be “on.”
For a myriad
of reasons, our voice may be ragged and tired and our bodies may be lacking the
energy needed to bring the voice up and out of our bodies with a full confident
sound. So I would like to suggest some outstanding natural alternatives for
proper vocal health care, to refined sugar, caffeine, and drugs that I, for
one, have been using for many years. These alternatives will energize your
voice, mind, and body naturally. They work almost immediately, help to restore
and remove mucus from the cords and throat and best of all, have no side
effects.
Over-used,
tired throat, and vocal cords
There are a
number of herbs that can provide instant relief for the tired throat and vocal
cords. These may be used in extract form (liquid) as a gargle or as a tea. I
prefer to gargle because the herbs go directly into the throat and coat the
muscles and vocal cords, as well as removing unwanted mucus and debris
providing me with immediate relief. Teas tend to pass through the throat more
quickly and contact to the affected area is not as dramatic. In addition, the
herbal content in most tea bags is considerably less than that in an extract.
Also, for
general vocal health care, the heat in the throat can be an effective healing
agent, thereby relaxing the inflamed area. If you do purchase these herbs as
teas, drink them hot with some honey. Adding lemon can be helpful but too much
citrus can dry the throat and cords, so be careful as to the amount you use. A
good one time squeeze one time should suffice.
The
following herbal combination is one of the best remedies I have known. It is a
combination of the herbal extracts Ginger, Cayenne, Slippery Elm, Turmeric and
Sage. Each of these herbs has exceptional properties that help with swelling,
inflammation and pain. This combination has also been used successfully for
laryngitis and hoarseness. Each individual herb can be found at any health food
store but use the non alcohol brands. The alcohol content in certain extracts
is usually quite high and can dry the throat and vocal cords, not to mention
affecting brain focus.
Making a
solution to gargle is very easy. Simply follow the steps below:
Fill a cup
with 2 oz. of warm water
Add 10 drops
of each extract to the water
Mix in a
half a tablespoon of honey
Gargle three
times every two hours until you have to sing or present
Be sure to
allow it to go as far down into your throat as possible
Gargle one
last time just minutes before singing. Try not to swallow the mixture.
Swallowing small amounts will not harm you in any way except that it may make
you a bit nauseous.
Being a
Cantor, teacher, nutritional consultant, and singer, I understand the
extraordinary demands put on the Voice Professional. Our craft is a complete
mental, physical, and spiritual one. We need to take care of ourselves and many
times we need additional support. You
have the choice to decide how you will take care of your voice. Choosing wisely
and effectively will ensure a joyous and successful career.
As always I
wish you the best on your quest for Superior Vocal Health.
