9 remedies for hoarseness
Hoarseness is the main sign of vocal disorder, manifested as a hoarse, unclear voice, or even loss of voice (no sound).
Oriental medicine believes that hoarseness is mostly caused by external pathogens, related to the lung meridian and often occurs suddenly. This is because external pathogens invade the lungs, causing damage to the lung yin and causing illness.
