gluten-free Tea To Help Sore Throat Lost Voice?

[VydorScope]

HELP!

Me wife is sposed to sing THIS WEEKEND in a massive production at the church and has lost her voice. I think I rember that honey in herbal tea helps, but do not remember which herb? We have Apple Cinnamon tea from Cestrail Seasonings which we added honey too, but if I run to the store what tea should I look for? We are a completely gluten-free house so it has to be gluten-free.

Thanks!

I get a tea from Traditional Medicinals called Throat Coat... it has slippery elm bark in it...

Do any of your products contain gluten?

Celiac patients are advised to avoid food ingredients containing gluten and/or its derivatives (e.g. gliadin). Certain grains such as barley, oat, rye and wheat contain proteins that are composed of prolamins and/or glutelins. None of Traditional Medicinals products contain any wheat or rye, or their derivatives. The following two Traditional Medicinals products contain barley grain or oatstraw and therefore the tea infusion prepared from them may contain a small amount of naturally occurring gliadin or gluten:

• PMS Tea

I like peppermint tea for my throat. Or you can make regular tea, and put a smidgen of peppermint in it.

I like Lipton Decaf. tea with honey and fresh lemon--good for the throat

[Fiddle-Faddle]

I like THroat Coat, and a similar tea by Stash called Licorice Tea-very soothing! In fact, I think just about any licorice tea I have tried has been good, and I don't recall reacting to any of them. Good luck!

I get catnip herb at the health food store and boil it up and strain it for a tea. Great for colds and sore throat.

I'm a hot water, lemon juice and honey person. Works like a charm. The warmth soothes and the lemon cleans you out while the honey coats it. I also drink this cold when I feel like a cold is coming on and it usually prevents me from getting sick. Plus the lemon has lots of Vitamin C.

My family's good old-fashioned remedy for everything ear, nose, and throat related are Hot Toddy's.

Tea, honey, lemon juice, and a healthy shot of whiskey

Tastes like lighter fluid but works like a charm!

forgot to mention, my mom always made me gargle with warm salt water whenever I had a sore throat or lost voice... especially if I had a choral performance... My choral director always said that even if you lost your speaking voice, that you should still be able to sing, and that practicing singing "usually" brings back your speaking voice... I don't know that he was entirely right, but it did seem to work sometimes!

My wife is a second soprano but has not been able to get above a G because of this.

The poor thing--hope she is better real soon

[flagbabyds]

gargle salt water, that is the best way to get your voice back for a show. In my theatre if someone gets sick, we all used to do that so we wouldn't loose our voice. It really does help your voice, yet it tastes nasty!

Try this GREAT tea....I use it all the time to cure a sore throat

ingredients

fresh ginger root (about a one inch piece, peeled)

honey (to taste)

lemon juice (5 drops per cup)

method

Take the the peeled ginger root and slice it thinly into a half dozen pieces or so.

Add this root to about one litre of boiling water in a small sauce pan. (I usually run my water through a Brita filter first...tastes better). Boil for 20 MINUTES.

pour the result (less ginger pieces) into your mug(s). Add a generous portion of honey (one full tsp does it for me) and 5 drops of lemon juice.

This makes a VERY satisfying drink that cures sore throats for me and my son who loves it too. You can even reheat the juice if you don't finish all of it, in a microwave, add the honey/lemon juice and have another cup later.

Brew this Ginger tea and it will help you a lot. Ginger has a lot of anti-inflamatory properties.

With you on that one...I overload on the honey...very soothing.

I second the ginger!! I like Alvita Ginger Root Tea with honey. The ginger is so healing for a sore throat and is also great for colds and an upset stomach. I can usually find the tea at my health food store. I usually try to keep a box on hand for emergencies!!

Hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Thanks all. Kroger actaully had the throat coat, they must have recently added it cause I do not recall seeing any teas at all in that section so she is trying that and the salt water.
