Vd. sandeep Ahirkar: Hoarse Voice Causes, Ayurvedic Treatment, Home Remedies

Article written by Dr MS Krishnamurthy MD(Ayu), PhD (Ayu).

Hoarse voice is a repeated complaint in few of the individuals. It may last from few hours to few days. Most of the time it is reversible with simple home remedies. But during the complaint it disturbs the routine activities especially with those who are engaged in speaking jobs like teachers, news readers, anchors, public relation officers, actors etc etc. In Ayurveda, this condition is called as Swarabheda. 

Hoarseness of Voice – Ayurveda details –

Synonyms of hoarseness of voice are – Swarabheda, Swarasada, Swaradosha, Karkasha Dhwani, Swara kshaya etc.

Medaja/caused by high fat – In this condition the voice is audible from the interior of the throat.The voice will be distinct after some period of time.The sound appears as if the throat is coated with fat or phlegm. Severe thirst is the characteristic feature of this condition.

Dr. Bhavesh Modh: स्वरभंग or voice to deteriorate.

Dr.Harsh Vardhan, MBBS, MS. (ENT)  Pachjany.com

Is difficult to imagine life without sound. The voice does not come out of the mouths of the poor or the sound generated when the expression becomes troublesome. When speaking of a normal healthy person, so it is unusual voice emanating Swrbng position is called. In such cases voice hoarse, vague, light, vibrational get to hear him performing or volume changes. The problem arises from several factors Swrbng.

The problem arises when the throat 'Vocal card inflammation, wound or activity is reduced. 'Vocal card' between 'polyp' (extra meat) to be generated by the two "vocal card 'meet' gap 'comes one or two' vocal cards paralyzed declare, in the event of Swrbhang  problems may arise.

'Larynx  in' Vocal card for two bands that are made up of muscles like the English letter V are attached. When we speak or sing with the vibration and the sound is generated.

Swrbng situation may arise for many reasons. The major cause for many reasons, "Vocal card swollen grow. In the upper part of the respiratory tract caused by viral infection. The tone of the overuse or abuse (or more songs, shouting, etc.) This is the second reason. In addition, the following factors help potential Swrbhng

Stomach 'vocal cards "due to the reverse flow of gas can be Swrbhng.

Sound pressure fall on

The voice on the pressure fall is a common problem. Singers or those whose job it is to speak more difficult it is to see most. Man's voice 'Ideal' pitch is one-third of the range of his voice. The pitch and the proper breathing process' vocal cards and stretch the length of the balance may continue. Any of these factors-pitch, "length", stretch, or if there is a change in breath 'Thayroritenoad' and 'Intrartonoad', there is some pressure on the muscles. The amount of pressure on the vocal tone of wrong use of the term by a person and how many hours per day is used depends on. The sharp tone of trouble performing artists, or teachers are Prvcnkrtaon. Untrained "Pop Singer" and associate the person with hearing impairment who always have to speak louder, it also can be troublesome. The second reason is the sound pressure on the neck of a nuisance and more voices are used in this period.

"Vocal nodules"

It 'singers nodes "or" nodes Skrimrs' is called. Nowadays some unnatural voice singer and retrieve some very loud shout. This is where the sound originates, it affects the area. This 'Larynx ' to the next part and posterior part takes too much vibration. Therefore, both the 'Chords' to 'fibrosis' and 'Trumetik scarring' is likely to be.

These 'Noduly Glotis' third front and rear two-thirds of the sum of small and consists of gray-white. Most of it consists of either side. In this situation, the patient's voice may break. 'Operation' by these 'nodules' may need to be evacuated. So these are very small 'speech therapy' through 'without' operations' may improve the situation.

Rescue

The voice is often worse in the morning or right after a long rest is fine but sometimes used the muscle weakening voice becomes unreadable.

Deepak Tamboli: Thnx Prerak sir for well explanation of terms

Vd. Sachin Kadlag: these are different qualities of voice described in bruhat travel according to differ deha prakruti .

1. Shleshma prakruti:-   A  )  अच्छत्वात् ......प्रसन्न  .... स्वराश्च भवन्ति । charak vimansthana 8/96 Due to accha ( clear ) guna of kapha , shleshma deha prakruti person has prasanna ( pleasant ) voice.

Thus we can say that for pleasant voice , acchatva (अच्छत्व) means clearness of kapha is important.

So if kapha is styana , sama voice clarity will be disturbed that is swarabheda or swara vikruti will take place.

B) श्लेष्मप्रकृतिस्तु ......... जलदमृदङ्गसिंहघोषः ।   Sushuruta sharirsthana 4/73

    Person with kapha deha prakruti , has his voice like sound of clouds,  mrudanga (an musical instrument), and like lion.

These suggests kapha prakruti person has voice loud , clear , pleasant and still with roar.

2.  Vata prakruti :-  A )  रौक्ष्यात् ..... प्रततरुक्षक्षामसन्नसक्तजर्जरस्वरा ....भवन्ति। charak vimansthana 8/98

         B) सन्नसक्तचलजर्जरवाचः ......... वातिकाः   ।  ashtanga hridaya sharirsthana  3/86  

Due to raukshya ( dryness) of vata , such person has dry , low pitch , obstructed, unsteady , rough voice and voice like old person.

So for good quality of voice we should minimise raukshya of vata and snighdha chikitsa should be done accordingly,  but only till raukshyatwa becomes less and kapha becomes accha.

3. Pitta prakruti :-  भूरि उच्चारः   ...... पैत्तिकाः ।   ashtanga hridaya sharirsthana 3/ 93

             These prakruti persons can make many types of pronunciations , may be like mimicry artists.

Shri Minoo parabia: The detailed discussion reminded me of Soprano, Sopranist, Castrato and the Treble. The terms referred to the special quality singers able to sing at high...what we call in saptak.

Castrato is the male singer casrtated to preserve his feminine voice quality! Treble is the young pre puberty male able to sing high.  The hormones play important role!

As an ethno botanist, obviously I would refer to such information.

It is customary to fill the water bottle with water, salt and turmeric. Keep the readied bottle on a wash basin. Gargle at every visit to the basin. When finished replenish with the mixture.

By tradition grapes, sugar candy, fennel, katha, are considered favourable to throat.

Oil, chillies, sour food are considered contrary.

Trbes prefer a piece of bark from Zizyphus, Pithecellobium, belleric myrobalan fruit to be kept in a mouth to improve sore throat.

I personally prefer clove while slated for a marathon inning on a stage.

Dr. Sheetal Sumra: Hoarseness of voice may be due to cough accumulating in chest which leads to change in voice..  For this we can use sitopaldi churna,  yashtimadhu Churna, tankan bhasma all equal amount.

Anupan : honey

Vd. Jignesh Thakkar: Lalaprasek janan dravya Lanka.

Dr. Bhavesh Modh: In same situation,  Vd.. Prerak shah sir advised Black pepper (मरीच)

It doesn't occur  Acidity  main advantage.

Dr. Rachana Mumbai: Well reminded prerak sir, one pt came to me with difficulty in speaking….Actually he does havan from long period of time may be thats the reason for his difficulty in speaking

After a long effort he could  start havan in feminine voice and after a while he used to resume to his original voice. This was his sequence always . He came to me for treatment for i couldnt do much benefit to him

Shri Minoo parabia: !!! Nature. Facts are stranger than the fiction.

Anand Javeri: @ Prerakbhai, males with very feminine voice may have other feminine attributes like less or few beard hair, less decision power, man boobs.  These people have lesser testosterone as compared to other males.

Ayulink: Not necessary. Many a times it's not testosterone issue. It might be simple vocal cord problem. Then u need to go for speech therapy. It really helps in such cases.

Dr. Devesh Kumar: In brancho pulmonary tuberculosis in children results horsness of voice

Ayulink: Yes. Person with testosterone problem does have feminine voice. But that's not the only pathology. For testosterone issue, then u need to treat with udad dal, and other herbs

Anand Javeri: Moreover, people with harsh or thick deep voice can have yasthtimadhuvati

Ayulink: Also Pl someone let us know the line of treatment for musculine voice in female.

There is no plucking.  No  further  growth also.. Takes  six months.  This can be correlated for voice treatment..

Ozone blanches  roots …..Tumours in ca  clears  lungs in COPD  n many more as per applications  ….Seems to have some problem in sending video of treatment.  Ozone blanching therapy.

USA Gary Yuen: Agree thinking about cause is important. Have said before, Caraka says diet is the true cause of most disease, and then lists other factors to say diet isn't the only bit seems to still be primary.
