Are you an aspiring singer or vocalist? Would you like to keep your voice sweet and sounding the best at all times? I am going to give you a tip that will keep your voice sounding sweet and melodious naturally with almost no cost.
The benefits of honey in curing sore throat and colds have been proven scientifically. But did you know that one of the properties of honey is also to soothe your vocal chords? Just mix one teaspoon of honey with water or milk and drink it at night before going to bed or the first thing in the morning. It is a sure shot way to soothe your vocal chords and keep your voice sounding sweet.
The best thing is that honey is a natural tonic that has many health benefits. However, you cannot use honey indiscriminately. Honey is high in calories and sugar. So if you are watching your weight or are diabetic, go easy on it. Do consult you physician to see if you are allergic to honey if you decide to use it. If you are lactose intolerant, you could also mix a teaspoon of honey with 1/2 a teaspoon of lime or lemon juice for a tasty and equally effective tonic. This tonic is said to cleanse your body of toxins as well.
Many playback singers in India swear by honey as a natural and healthy way to soothe their tired and often used throat. So why don't you give it a try too!
