Dear Bob Liebert,

Hi. I am a teacher with chronic (and somewhat uncomfortable) strain in my vocal cords. I am practicing breathing techniques, but is there an herb that would help them heal? If not, PLEASE tell me--I have spent a lot of money on this condition already! Thank you so much.

Rhona

Dear Friend,

An herb with a long traditional use for irritation of the vocal cords is STONE ROOT extract taken internally. The soothing and healing effects of powdered Slippery Elm (a teaspoon in a little water) and/or Marshmallow Root tea are very good taken in conjunction.

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.
