I - L

 

I sit here, late at night, typing this webpage, why you ask? Because I have insomnia. With that as the beginning of this remedy page, I will convince you that insomnia can be cured with these simple little steps.

  1. Use your bed only for sleeping! Don't read or watch TV in bed.
  2. Taking a warm shower might help, it works because it relaxes you.
  3. Chamomile tea can also help to relax you before sleep.
  4. Exercise 5 hours before bedtime, this supposedly will help you sleep.
  5. Avoid Caffeine, as everyone under the sun knows, Caffeine is a stimulant and will keep you wide awake.
  6. If you can't sleep, get out of bed, it doesn't help to just sit in the dark if you can't sleep.
  7. Read this webpage 100 times before bed, and if you aren't ready to sleep, well, then you just can't be cured :o)

So, you can't speak? Hopefully no one will cheer this fact, but if they do you might want to keep the laryngitis and make everyone happy, but seriously, here is a few simple things you can do to get your voice back.

  1. Drink Elm bark tea, you can find this slippery tasting tea at any health food store. It should reduce the pain that you may be having.
  2. Uncooked chestnuts may help your vocal cords.
  3. Try and stay away from Alcohol and cold drinks, they will just make the soreness worst and prevent you from speaking longer.
  4. Don't talk at all, I mean not even a whisper, it's the best way to cure your vocal ailment.
  5. Breathe through your nose instead of your mouth. Breathing through the mouth will only cause dryness and potentially make it worst.
  6. Don't clear your throat. Now I know this is difficult when you have that annoying little tickle, but the act of clearing your throat is very strenuous because it makes the vocal cords slap together in just such a way that can cause trouble. So try drinking some liquid instead of clearing your throat.
