Voice Loss
(Aphonia)
(Loss of voice usually follows overexertion in speaking or exposure to cold or due to injury to vocal
organs)
Remedies:
1) Ferrum Phos 6x: Aphonia of singers or public speakers, quite painful, caused by
overexertion of voice or cold and wet or accumulation of phlegm in the larynx, is cured by
application of Ferrum Phos and Kali Mur 6x in alternation 4 hourly. In obstinate cases
Calcarea Sulph 6x, thrice a day, follows well.
2) Kali Phos 6x: For loss of voice from paralysis of vocal cords or from nervous
exhaustion, it is excellent and may be taken three times a day.
3) Borax 1x: “A piece of borax, the size of a pea, dissolved in the mouth, acts magically in
restoring the voice, in cases of sudden hoarseness brought on by cold, and frequently for an
hour or so, it renders the voice silvery and clear.” Boericke.
