Slippery Elm
For many centuries, Native Americans have used slippery elm as an herbal remedy to relieve symptoms associated with a sore throat. This home remedy is produced by the inner bark of the Slippery Elm tree. Slippery elm contains mucilage, a gel-like fluid that calms irritated and irritated laryngeal tissues. Mucilage effectively coats the mucus membrane to maintain good hydration levels.
This natural cure also contains antioxidants that protect the throat from oxidative stress and other external factors that may cause further irritation. For treating laryngitis, it is ideal to look for lozenges and teas containing slippery elm.
To use slippery elm as a natural remedy for laryngitis, add one heaping teaspoon of slippery elm to one serving of yogurt twice daily. However, it is best to consult a physician for those looking to use slippery elm to treat laryngitis. This is to determine whether one is allergic to the ingredients in slippery elm and ensure the proper dosage to avoid unwanted side effects and complications.
