From both a naturopathic nutritionist and a singing teacher’s perspective, saline (a sterile saltwater solution) alongside correct vocal technique and a balanced diet, may support vocal health, preventing irritation, and maintaining optimal voice function.

The vocal cords need to be well-hydrated to vibrate smoothly and efficiently. Saline mist provides direct hydration to the vocal cords and trachea without excessive heat, unlike steam. It helps keep the mucosal lining of the vocal folds moist, reducing friction and potential vocal strain.

Are You Getting Enough Protein?

Protein is known for building muscle and muscle recovery but it has many other functions such as;

🥚Helping regulate our blood sugar
🫘Providing enzymes needed for biochemical reactions in the body
🍗Stabilising cell membranes
🧀Creating hormones
🥩Balancing fluid
🥛Fighting infections
🫘Storing and transporting molecules such as oxygen and iron

Todays diets tend to be carbohydrate heavy and calorific. In fact, many food products are designed to be that way so that it makes you want to eat more so you have to buy more… clever marketing companies!

Find out how much protein you should be having on my blog (link in bio!) There's also more information in the 1st issue of the Act Natural Performance & Nutrition eMagazine which is FREE to download on the website!

Both nebulisers and steamers can benefit singers by hydrating and soothing the vocal cords, but they work in different ways and offer distinct advantages depending on your needs. By choosing the right tool and using it effectively alongside appropriate warm-ups and correct technique, singers can maintain optimal vocal health and performance.

Check out the latest blog post for more information about which one would be the right method for you!

Ginger is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making it a go-to for sore throats. The warming sensation can also help improve blood circulation, easing tension in the throat. Try 3 tsp (fresh root) or 1/4 to 1⁄2 tsp organic powder daily. Ginger may be stimulating so may be best to avoid on an evening. Use with caution with peptic ulcers or anti-coagulant medications.

A Himalayan salt water gargle is a natural and effective remedy for throat and vocal health. The pink Himalayan salt, rich in over 80 trace minerals (like magnesium, potassium, and calcium), balances pH levels, reduces toxin buildup in the body and offers additional therapeutic benefits compared to
regular table salt.

The minerals in Himalayan salt help reduce swelling and soothe irritated tissues in the throat. Gargling with salt water helps loosen and flush out excess mucus, preventing it from interfering with vocal clarity. Himalayan salt has antimicrobial properties that kill bacteria, reducing the likelihood of throat infections and helps draw moisture into the tissues.

Although the salt water gargle doesn't replace vocal health, it can be used alongside correct technique to promote vocal health.
