SINGERS!!?? Are there any remedies i can take to protect my throat in Winter?

Question

I take singing lessons and do exams and I always tend to get bad throats the week of a performance.

I am singing at my cousins wedding on 18th |September and have been taking Berocca all summer which has kept colds at bay. Im continuing to take it but i always seem to get colds/throat infections the min autumn winter hits... Is there any herbal remedies to combat this? or should i just continue to take vitamins and drink plenty of fluids. Ive tried honey and it doesnt work!

Answer 1

Try drinking honey and lemon juice with hot water. Or when you feel a cold is coming on, gargle with hot salt water.

Answer 2

Echinachea is a lovely herb to have year around.  But a very potent immunity booster that's absolutely necessary when winter rolls in.  This flower is of the daisy family and is a great preventative measure to keep illnesses at bay.  It also tastes great!  It's available at health food stores.  A timeless practice of mine, pour boiling water in a tea cup, squeeze 1/4 lemon juice in with spoonful of honey to mix.  Let it cool a bit before sipping 2x a day.  Also, eat less sugar (which weakens the immune system) and take extra vitamin C.
