The Ayurvedic View of Chronic Laryngitis
Ayurvedic Understanding
Ayurveda links chronic throat irritation and voice disorders to aggravated Vata and Pitta in the throat region, often worsened by reflux and overuse.
Care centres on voice rest, soothing oleation therapies, reflux correction through diet, and herbs that calm throat inflammation.
