Throat and Voice

[Guest guest]

Could you recommend a formula for clearing the throat of phlegm, on

an acute basis. My doctor is currently working with me a yeast and de-

tox cleansing, which should be the real solution. Need something as I

work on the phone quite a bit, in the mean time.

Hope that what you're doing on the phone is honest, ethical, and in full

alignment with your own goals and purposes. If not, your body can easily find

ways to sabotage the work. I've done a lot of phone work, including

professional surveying, and have seen this happen many times.

 

But assuming everything on that end is ok, then the one-shot cure-all that all

professional speakers and singers should carry around is licorice root. It

works wonders. There will often be an initial discharge of phlegm, and then

everything's much better for several hours afterward.

 

There are 2 cautions about licorice root. In large quantities it is also a

laxative. And if used too often, it will rot out your gums. So be careful with

the stuff.

Licorice should definately be at the top of the list, but keep in

mind that it can cause complications for people with high blood

pressure or hyper adrenal function.

 

You also may want to consider some of the anticatarrhals (mucus

eliminators)such as cayenne, garlic,ginger and some of the

alteratives (blood purifiers)such as red clover, dandelion, burdock,

or yellow dock (available comercially in combinations).

 

To address the yeast directly, diet is important(particularly

limiting sugar and fermented items) and our family also uses pro-

biotics, pau d'arco, and grapefruit seed extract.

 

Hope this provides some useful info.
