Herbal Treatments for Laryngitis

Laryngitis is the inflammation of the vocal cords. Sufferers of laryngitis usually have a sore, dry throat and a general loss of voice. I have recently started noticing that there are a lot of herbal throat lozenges near the checkout counters at the grocery store. This is a sure sign that winter is on its way. When selecting a throat lozenge, look for ones containing ginger, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, and cardamom. These herbs work as expectorants and can provide real relief. Echinacea is also recommended, as it boosts your immune system. However, if your laryngitis persists, see a doctor as it might be a more dangerous illness.
