Laryngitis (Hoarseness): Natural Remedies That Work

Laryngitis is the inflammation of the larynx (voice box), usually triggered by viral infections, vocal strain, or irritants like smoke and pollution. It presents with hoarseness, sore throat, dry cough, and sometimes complete voice loss.

While often self-limiting, natural remedies can soothe discomfort, reduce inflammation, and support vocal recovery.

  • Marshmallow Extract: Demulcent for irritated mucosa
