> Greetings, all!
One of our listers recently mentioned the positive effects of echinacea = tea on a sore throat. I am curious if anyone has experience with other = herbal teas and their effect on the voice. Have you found any to be = particularly beneficial? Conversely, are there any out there that = singers need to avoid?
Thanks! Rachel
First thing-- best thing you can do for your voice is drink WATER and lots of it! IF you want an herbal tea you might try these: Traditional Medicinals- Herbal Tussin Tea, Gypsy Cold Care, and Throat Coat. These three are excellent natural teas that will help you if you're out with a cold/flu/sinuses/whatever. Avoid carbonated/sweetened/caffeinated/chemical-artificial beverages at all costs. And finally: If you are really really sick-- then you probably shouldn't be singing. Remember- you only have 1 voice. Treat it well so that it will last for years to come! J.
