The vocal cords, the treatment of which will be examined here, are located in the middle part of the pharynx. By themselves, they are very specific elastic formations. Their composition includes connective as well as muscle tissue. The space between the vocal chords is called the glottis. Due to the pressure of the air that comes out of the lungs when you exhale, the distance between the ligaments immediately narrows, they themselves stretch and begin to oscillate - that's what we say. Also, the vocal cords are also needed to ensure that in our bronchi and lungs could not freely enter any objects.
How sensitive are the vocal cords and what problems can occur with them
In many ways, the vocal cords are similar to strings, since they cannot oscillate without the necessary stretch. Often, laryngitis becomes the cause of inflammation of the vocal cords, the treatment of which should be immediate. Inflamed, they noticeably increase in size, which, of course, leads to a decrease in the glottis. In especially severe cases, they swell so much that they do not even allow air to pass through. As a result, a person may experience an asthma attack. Fortunately, this does not happen often, but only in rare cases when a person has launched a disease himself. Usually, the cause here is a variety of infectious diseases, from which the vocal cords can suffer from time to time. In some cases, treatment can be carried out independently, but in order to avoid complications, it is best to contact the otolaryngologist in time. Waiting until the last is highly discouraged.
It is not uncommon for problems with the vocal cords to appear due to the fact that a person constantly overextends his voice. They are also adversely affected by tobacco smoke. His voice wheezes from him, but this, of course, is only the lesser of troubles.
For treatment, as a rule, various medications and sprays are used; their chronic lesions can become the cause of the operation.
Treatment of vocal cords with folk methods
Traditional medicine has excelled here. The vocal cords, the treatment of which we are considering, can be brought back to normal and with the help of what nature has given us.
For the most part, all procedures in this case are associated with rinsing, as a result of which the necessary substances enter the vocal cords. Ingestion is also possible. The treatment is very effective, and the result from it can be seen very soon. Here are some miraculous recipes:
1) Horseradish broth: medium-sized horseradish root must be poured with three quarters of a liter of boiling water. Insist for about an hour. This decoction is not needed for rinsing, but for oral administration. You need to take it with honey every hour. One dose is a teaspoon.
2) Carrots and honey: squeeze the juice from the carrots, and mix it with honey (one to one). Take about four times in one day.
3) Decoction of onion skins: about three teaspoons of golden onion skins, pour half a liter of boiling water, cook for a couple of minutes, and then let it brew for some more time. You need to gargle about three times a day, but many turn to this decoction for help every time the inflammation makes itself felt.
4) Chocolate: just take a pair of its slices in your mouth and slowly absorb them.
5) Onions and garlic: cook both, mix in equal proportions and use a little. This tool seems unpleasant to many, but it is worth noting that it simply perfectly softens the vocal cords. Treatment is very effective.
Use folk remedies only when you are really sure that the problem does not apply to those you should be afraid of. Remember that the consequences of diseases of the vocal cords can be very unpleasant.
