Inflammation of the larynx, i.e. voice box, is referred to as laryngitis. Laryngitis can arise from various reasons, and first among these is infection that can be viral, bacterial, or fungal. Overuse of voice, excessive yelling, allergies, acid reflux disease, smoking and alcohol intake are some other causes. Laryngitis can be acute or chronic. Short-term laryngitis of less than 3 weeks’ duration is termed as acute laryngitis. If the problem lasts more than 3 weeks, it is termed long- term or chronic laryngitis. A major symptom of laryngitis is hoarseness of the voice. Other symptoms are dry/sore/raw throat, cough, difficulty swallowing, need to repeatedly clear the throat, and tickling in the throat.
Homeopathic medicines can treat laryngitis wonderfully. Both acute and chronic laryngitis can be effectively treated under the homeopathic system of medicine. Homeopathic medicines work to reduce the inflammation of larynx remarkably along with aiding relief in its symptoms. It helps to manage its symptoms like hoarse voice, throat dryness, tickling in larynx and cough. After managing the symptoms, homeopathic medicines further aim to provide complete cure in laryngitis cases which occur gradually in a few months depending on the intensity and chronicity of the complaint.
Homeopathy fixes the root cause behind laryngitis to aid great cures. As laryngitis can arise from different reasons, homeopathy makes sure to treat the cause which is the key to get complete cure. Homeopathy works by stimulating the self-healing forces of the body to overcome the reason behind inflamed larynx to get natural and complete recovery.
As homeopathy is a symptom-based science, the homeopathic prescription for laryngitis varies from case to case as per the individual symptom presentation. A detailed case-taking is done to note down all the symptoms explained by the patient. Afterwards, it is evaluated as per homeopathic laws by a homeopathic doctor. Based on the evaluation, homeopathic medicine is finalised along with its potency and dosage. A proper course of well-prescribed homeopathic treatment helps to resolve laryngitis completely.
Homeopathic medicines to treat laryngitis are natural, safe and free from adverse side effects. Homeopathic medicines set off the body’s own restorative processes to enable it to fight off the disease and heal itself naturally.

Dear Sir,
We are from Hyderabad city , India. Our mother , a 69 year old lady , was diagnosed with PSP some five years back. Her right leg and right hand have become totally stiff and rigid that she can not even move them a bit.Her speech became slurred that one could hardly hear what she says. She is experiencing choking sensation in her throat very often while eating food and drinking liquids.Her position is getting deteriorated year after year, and she has confined herself to wheel chair for the last one year. She has been taking Amantrel 100 mg ( Allophathic medicine ) capsules for the last 5 years, but there seems to be hardly any improvement in her health, rather it is getting worsened over time.We have given our best efforts to treat the disease by trying our hand at Ayurveda too but all in vain.Right now , we are very desperately looking for some medication for the betterment of her condition.
Can you suggest us with effective medication/ food supplements that she can take so that the process of degeneration can be improved/delayed , and hence the symptoms of the disease can be controlled to great extent .
We are eagerly waiting for your reply .
Thanking You Sir,
With Kind Regards
B.V.Santosh Kumar .

Belladonna is the medicine for right sided illness. Take it in 200 because it is so severe. Also take Aconote for fear. At the first onset of the illness, take Aconite 200 and the illness will stop dead in its tracks! Everyone should have this in their Emergency homeopathic kit!
