Herbal Lozenges

Of course, sage is not the only herb in the world that has been used successfully for laryngitis and sore throats. Licorice root also is healing for the tissues and can ease the coughing that may be causing your problem. In addition, slippery elm is mucilaginous and soothing to tissues, and golden seal and echinacea will help fight infections. You can use all of these herbs to help you if you have laryngitis.
Laryngitis is a condition where you will need to take energetics into account again. Consider the nature of your laryngitis: Is it caused by a wet condition? This would be a mucus condition, such as bronchitis or a head cold, in which mucus draining down the back of your throat is irritating your tissues and causing you to cough.
Or, perhaps your laryngitis is caused by hot, dry, scratchy conditions. If your throat is hot and dry, sage may make it worse because it will only continue to dry your tissues. In this case, use a humidifier and slippery elm or marshmallow to soothe your throat.
What can cause a hot, dry throat condition? Let’s take a look at some of the possibilities:
➤ Screaming at your employees, children, spouse, barking dogs next door
➤ A fever that’s drying you out
➤ Summertime allergies
➤ Turning on the dry, hot heat at the start of winter
➤ Singing opera under bright lights
➤ Riding on a motorcycle with your mouth wide open
➤ Sleeping with your mouth open (catching flies)
➤ Eating crackers on a hot day, without water, and reading my book at the same time
