Home remedies to help you sing better. Its Monday and you’re coughing up phlegm, your nose is blocked and your throat is sore!

Do you want to know what happens to your body when you quit smoking? Minutes after you put away cigarettes, some amazing things start to happen.

What do you do? Cancel the gig? NO WAY. I have found myself in this situation so many times and cancelling is just not an option (read: if I cancel, I don’t get paid) So to help you get your throat back on track I’ve compiled my best list of herbal remedies to help you out. I’m a huge fan of going natural when it comes to overall health and most of these remedies can be found readily and cost pennies. Peppermint tea. Peppermint tea is the best herbal tea to use if you suffer from a lot of phlegm. Phlegm is every singer’s enemy because it sticks to the back of your throat and you have to clear it while you are singing. The qualities in Peppermint tea reduce phlegm production without drying your voice out, so it’s perfect for singers. Add a little honey if you have a sore throat and it works wonders.

Go for the proper leaf stuff that you have to steep in a pot. Quality tea makes a big difference. TIP: Picking fresh leaves from a peppermint plant and steeping them in hot water works just as well as dried out tea leaves.

Propolis. If you have a sore throat and you have a big show coming up, Propolis is your go- to remedy. It is a liquid made from bees wax and it has fantastic antibacterial qualities and with rest, can clear up a sore throat overnight. But be warned, it stinks! It smells so revolting (to me anyway) that I actually have to hold my nose to drink the stuff. It looks gross too. It forms a little hairy looking ball in the bottom of your glass when you drop it into water before you mix it around. The taste is fine; it’s pretty tasteless actually, so if you can put up with the stench, Propolis works wonders.

TIP: Gargle with Popolis mixed in with water for a bit before you drink the rest of the glass down. You can grab a bottle for around $3. Licorice Root Tea. This is hands down the BEST tea for your voice. Like Peppermint tea, Licorice Root tea aids digestion and it somewhat numbs the back of your throat just a little which is fabulous for singers who are performing night after night. If you don’t like the taste of Licorice, never fear. Licorice Root tea has a much nicer flavor than aniseed and is milder too.

Jarrah Honey. Yet another lovely thing bees are providing us with. Jarrah Honey is highly sought after for its unique antibacterial qualities.

It is a darker colour than common honey you’ll see in the supermarket and it has its own unique taste too. Pop a teaspoon into some warm water, gargle with it and then drink it afterwards to soothe a sore throat.

I often do this before a gig as preparation (and because it tastes yummy). It also makes a brilliant facial mask too!

Port. A lot of alcoholic drinks are a big no- no when it comes to singing because they dry your throat out and can also cause phlegm (especially if you’re mixing your drink with soda) BUT port is a big exception. It is absolutely FANTASTIC for easing a sore throat.

You can feel the warmth running down the back of your throat as you drink it. Its lovely. Port has saved my vocals many a time. In fact, I lived off the stuff (during gigs) while I was sick on my National Tour.
