Herbal Remedies for Laryngitis

Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx and is characterized by hoarseness or loss of voice. It is associated with stress and tension, as well as infection.

An herbal program can consist of antispasmodics, anti-inflammatories, and soothing herbs. It is often best to rest the voice as much as possible during the healing process.
