Although we had two great rehearsals while the rest of them were disporting themselves in Ashland, I noticed that not a few of you were wheezing and sneezing and otherwise not in the pink. Here are two recipes that I swear by:
1) for tired throats - prepare a ginger tea, either with fresh ginger or with any brand tea bag, add a tbsp of honey, a tbsp of lemon juice and, if your system can tolerate it, a wee pinch of cayenne pepper. Drink this warm, tasty treat and keep it handy during rehearsals; and
2) for that stuffy head, mix together 20 drops tea tree oil, 10 drops eucalyptus oil and 6 drops peppermint oil (or multiples thereof). Place a few drops on a hankie and stiff deeply. Good for clearing lungs and head. A small brown bottle with an eyedropper is ideal for this exercise.
3) SING EVERY DAY. The more you work your voices the stronger and healthier they will be.
4) SLEEP! EAT! DRINK WATER!
