A Herbal Tincture for the Voice, with Agrimony, Marshmallow & Sage
Vocal Ease Tincture is a concentrated herbal tincture for singers, actors, teachers, speakers and anyone who relies on their voice. Agrimony and raspberry leaf are blended with marshmallow root, sage, mullein, Icelandic moss, wild indigo and sweet flag, made as a whole-herb liquid extract.
The Herbs
Vocal Ease Tincture brings together three groups of herbs traditionally used for the throat and voice. Astringent herbs tone the tissues of the throat. Moistening herbs soothe rawness and dryness. Aromatic and protective herbs help clear catarrh and support the body's defences. Together they make a blend for a clear, comfortable voice before and after heavy use.
To Tone
Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria): A classic tonic herb traditionally used to soothe sore throats and loss of voice. It helps clear catarrh and tone the tissues that line the throat.
Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus): Brings a similar toning, tissue-firming quality to the throat, and has traditionally been used to support the throat through tonsillitis and pharyngitis.
To Soothe
Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis): Rich in mucilage, a moistening substance that coats the throat and relieves irritation and inflammation.
Icelandic Moss (Cetraria islandica): A traditional European remedy rich in lichenin, which softens and calms irritated membranes in the throat and nasal passages.
Mullein (Verbascum thapsus): Traditionally used for upper respiratory comfort, with a calming effect on the throat and airways that helps ease tickles and dryness.
To Clear and Protect
Sage (Salvia officinalis): An aromatic, traditional choice for soothing throat infections. It helps clear catarrh and supports the body's natural defences in the upper respiratory tract.
Wild Indigo (Baptisia tinctoria): Traditionally used to support the body's natural defences, particularly in the upper respiratory tract, and valued for soothing the throat.
Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus): Helps clear congestion and soothe discomfort, and has traditionally been used to calm performance-related nerves.
Why a Tincture?
Unlike tablets or capsules, a liquid tincture delivers whole-herb extracts in a form that is readily absorbed and easy to fit into a daily routine.
Each batch of Vocal Ease Tincture is made by slowly extracting the whole herbs, drawing out and preserving a broad spectrum of their natural compounds, including volatile oils and phytonutrients. The finished tincture captures the full character of each plant.
