Can drinking ginger tea increase the loudness of the voice?  

I think so.Whenever I get cold my mom gives me ginger tea to drink.And I feel my voice is very loud and harsh.Whenever I answer to any question in my classroom everyone encluding the teacher suddenly sees me with big eyes.My friends says that my voice is very loud and harsh for this age!

Drinking ginger tea cannot increase the loudness of your voice but it can heal your swollen throats and at the same time enhance your voice especially if you are engage in singing. Try not drinks cold drinks this might irritate your voice especially you are a teacher my advise same goes with my aunt whose teacher in grade school. Enjoy!

Well, I am not sure it is no harm to try. To get your voice louder and clearer, you can practice some vocal exercise. It doesn't always mean singing exercise. It's like exercise to improve your vocal capacity, including breathing exercise and other. I believe many actors and actresses also do some vocal exercise to improve their vocal capacity.

thats what they said but since i am not singer i dont know if it is true but to clearing the voice like if you have throat problems you can use it and it helps.

i think ginger tea works to make clear your voice. i found some singers who take ginger tea to clear their voice which can make their voice louder and clearer. i think you can try ginger tea to clear your voice and make your voice louder for you students in class room. it would be good for your students as well as the whole class. take care.

tea is definitely good for the voice, and I find that green tea works best for me in keeping a strong voice. Try sipping green tea instead of coffee and ginger tea, at work. or drink warm water all day.That seems to soothe my throat. Also - no smoking - no smoke filled bars - and no yelling. If I were to lose my voice I couldn't work - so I try to be very careful.

rest your voice when you don't need it. i.e. don't talk at all.take a gap for every one hour . keep silence for 5-10 minutes for every hour .avoid milk and caffiene.Avoid caffeine, excess salt and other natural diuretics. Stay very well hydrated. Dryness is the enemy of the voice.Definitely drink lots and lots of water.and avoid milk products.and take Hot, steamy showers.

1. Hydration. Water is best... warm tea with honey, lemon-y things and so forth won't hurt (provided they aren't alcoholic/caffeinated... stay away from these substances), but water is absolutely the most effective thing you can ingest. The vocal folds need to be well-lubricated to function effectively, so the more hydrated you are, the better. TMI-Filter: If your urine isn't clear, you're not drinking enough water. The "Throat Coat" thing sounds bogus... keep in mind that fluids ingested never touch the vocal folds themselves unless you are either gargling or actually aspirating said fluid into your lungs. Therefore it would seem impossible for that product to actually "coat" your vocal folds. (If I'm incorrect about this, someone please correct me.)

2. Schedule voice breaks for yourself during the day. Total voice rest isn't necessary (and may not even be all that helpful; IIRC it's not universally indicated anymore as a solution for vocal strain except in serious cases). But if you can schedule a 5-10 minute window each hour where you are not speaking, that will help. Perhaps you can coordinate a five-minute voice break each hour with downing a glass of water, thereby killing two birds with one stone.

3. Try to speak softer. Be aware of your posture; if you're slouching, the diaphragm/abdominals won't be able to help support the voice and you'll put a lot of strain on the muscles of the larynx. The amplification idea is good. Be particularly careful on the phone, as most of us speak much louder than we need to then. People who are on the phone all day, every day for work occasionally display voice disorders.

4. See an otolaryngologist for an evaluation if you're really concerned about your voice. If there are problems, singing lessons and/or speech therapy couldn't hurt, although I'd recommend the latter rather than the former in the unlikely event of some physical problem like nodules.


Warning about Throat Coat or anything else that coats your throat (from the actor/classical singer that I am): chocolate, milk, honey (although honey is a natural anti-bacterial so it is good for when you are sick), etc. Coating your throat may give you a false impression of comfort/health, thus leading you to strain your voice to the point of injury. If your throat hurts, the best thing is to not use it until it gets better (except to eat).

So, learn to raise your voice properly, which means breathing properly, in order to avoid injury. I seriously suggest taking in a session or two with a voice coach. Properly, you shouldn't even use your throat at all.

Ginger tea has a spicy, invigorating taste. It's used as a home remedy for indigestion, nausea, and to ward off colds, flu, and sore throats.

It’s this very fiery characteristic of the ginger root that gives it much of its medicinal properties, both in its dried as well as raw form. The dried ginger root is a thermogenic, expectorant, laxative, appetizer, stimulant, as well as an effective cure for stomach disorders. Hence, the dried ginger root is ground and used to cure a whole range of ailments like coughs, colds, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, inflammations of the joints, flatulence, motion sickness, colic, cholera, asthma, headaches, and even anorexia. Raw ginger is also a thermogenic, and is also an anti-flatulent, digestive, appetizer, and a laxative.

Ginger’s property of being a digestive aid is largely due to the shogoals and gingerols that it contains. These help to neutralize the acids in the stomach, stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, and tone the digestive tract’s muscles.

Ginger tea has been used as a remedy against flu and colds for centuries, both in India and China, as well as other countries in the east. According to Chinese culture, its powerful yang energy is what warms the lungs and stomach. Ginger tea has been used in China for 2,500 years to treat sore throat, nasal congestion, and sinus pain.
