throat care

Definition:

(noun): Methods to mitigate throat dryness, soreness, or inflammation due to overuse or sickness

How to Do It:

  • 4 S’s - Silence (vocal rest), Sip (water), Steam, & Sleep.

  • USE VocalEze Ginger drops, Anise drops, or Tea

  • USE NeilMed Sinus Rinse to clear post-nasal drip

  • USE Ginger / Turmeric Teas for inflammation (thinly sliced, boiled for 10mins, add honey)

  • AVOID coughing or clearing your throat excessively. Instead, hum, swallow, and calmly breath to pass mucus until it’s ready to expel.

  • AVOID menthol (Halls, Ricolas, vapor pads) or excess sugar (ginger chews, Starbucks Medicine Ball, etc.) which can cause irritation and inflammation.
