Laryngitis Treatment Diet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet and drink plenty pure filtered water and herbal teas. Raw fruits, and vegetables can be particularly helpful. Avoid sugars and refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and milk and dairy products. Herbs: Gargle, but do not swallow, an infusion of red sage and yarrow for 1-2 minutes throughout the day as needed. Also take 30 drops of echinacea tincture every hour for two days. Chamomile, bayberry, licorice, and sage teas are also helpful. Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies for laryngitis include Aconite, Hepar sulph., Phosphorus, Spongia, Causticum, Belladonna, Kali bich., Drosera, and Carbo veg. Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. We suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you. *Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy or hyperthermia treatment. The section: Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water, offers clear instructions and recommendations. Hyperthermia: Hyperthermia involves artificially creating fever in the body for the purpose of boosting immune function. Hyperthermia can be a highly effective method of eliminating toxins and heavy metals, as well as infectious bacteria and viruses that cannot survive in elevated body temperatures. We suggest several at-home hyperthermia treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these sweat-inducing procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you. Juice Therapy: The following juice combinations can help heal the throat: carrot and pineapple; carrot and apple; carrot and celery; and carrot, beet, cucumber, and ginger.
