A word from David Brun
(Graduate of the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine)
Dried oroxyli indici seeds (Mu Hu Die; 木蝴蝶) and Scaphiglotte fruit (Pang Da Hai; 胖大海) are among the best herbs for recovering one’s voice after an extinction.
They can be taken as an infusion during the day for those who, for example, need to speak or sing for several hours at a time.
