We are in Jolly Old for Christmas and we have been having mixed success in attending some carol services. (We have yet to get lucky for the famous churches, but the two smaller churches that we whisked ourselves into did a commendable job.)
All this fa-la-la-ing got me thinking about hoarse voices.
The Banerjis recommend Hepar sulph 200c, twice daily for a hoarse voice.
If the high notes in particular cause problems, especially a cough, try some Argentum nitricum. Actually, Arg-nit is an excellent remedy for lost voices in general, especially in singers.
If you have lost your voice but using it actually makes things feel a little better, Rhus tox may be what you’re looking for.
If it’s painful, try some Belladonna or Phosphorus.
If it’s painless, try some Calc carb or Carbo veg.
Right, I just came back to the hotel for a little sit-down and am now heading back out again to enjoy some more bustling, festively lit streets.
Wishing you the happiest of Christmases… and, may you find a couple of little tubes of homeopathic loveliness in your stockings!
