Laryngitis
Margaret, aged 54, first visited with a bout of laryngitis. She had been feeling unwell generally with an arthritic tendency, an inclination to accumulate fluid, hot flushes and loose bowels. Her menstrual periods appeared to be phasing out.
Margaret's treatment consisted of:
- a general multivitamin and mineral supplement with additional:
- vitamin C with bioflavonoid,
- zinc,
- calcium and
- magnesium.
- herbs for the lymphatic system:
- violet leaves,
- burdock, and
- echinacea.
- liver and kidney stimulating herbs:
- dandelion root and leaves,
- hops,
- parsley,
- centaury and
- wahoo.
- herb specifically for the laryngitis - red sage.
- herbs to balance the body and adjust to the changes associated with menopause:
- chasteberry,
- wild yam,
- black cohosh,
- golden seal,
- life root,
- oats and
- St John's wort.
After one month's treatment she had more energy, excess fluid was not noticed and she reported that the laryngitis had cleared quickly. Her treatment for menopausal changes was continued.
