Dear Bob Liebert,

Can you please help me? I have spasmodic dysphonia, which is muscle spasms in the vocal cords. This produces a strained, cracking voice. Are there any herbs that will help this condition?

Dear Friend,

I would suggest the extracts of Stone Root and Skullcap taken together. I believe only the fresh herb extracts will give positive results. Both herbs lose quite a bit of potency when dried for any length of time.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist

You can buy these herbs and many more in the Formula and Single Herb sections of the Teeter Creek Herb website. Herbs that don't appear in the Formula or Single Herb lists can usually be requested in the "Message" section at the bottom of the order page.
