7 Responses to “what is the best tea to drink for singers for vocal maintenance?”
Lemon, honey and hot water. A home remedy for years for the sore throat.
Cloreseptic spray, available at your local drug store, is sometimes recommended, but I wouldn’t. It is a topical anesthetic, and you can damage your vocal chords through its use. I have played where singers have used it, but only to get through a performance when sick with a cold or flu. (You know. The ’show must go on’.)
Pain in the throat is your body telling you you are pushing too hard. Proceed with caution, as you can permanently damage your voice.
Tea can help to make feel better your vocal chords but teas cannot prevent vocal diseases.
Be careful when you are talking, do not talk loud, do not force your chest or throat to make your voice sound louder, that eventually will kill your vocal cords and you will need to take a long vocal rest to fix them.
I would recommend to warm up your voice 10 to 15 minutes before to start working. If your job involves to talk for a long periods of time, try to talk using the same vocal technique you use to sing. To take the proper breath and use your support and make your voice going to your resonant cavities while are you talking will help you to not get that tired or to feel that pain on your throat after a long day of work. People don’t think or don’t know they should talk with a propertly technique too.
Ginger tea, Chamomile and other herbal teas will help you to relax your vocal chords, drink it during the day and also at night. Better if you do not put sugar in it. Drink lots of water too to keep your body hydrated.

Herbal tea, light on the sugar (preferably none), and use lemon or honey in it, also.
