What to Know About Allergies & Your Voice
Are allergies killing you this year? Here’s what you need to know about how allergies can affect your voice.
How Postnasal drip affects your Voice
Postnasal drip is the mucus that runs down the back of the throat from the nose. Mucus is produced throughout the nose, throat, and respiratory tract, with a significant portion generated in the nose and sinuses. The body produces around 1-1.5 liters of mucus per day, and much of it flows down the back of the nose into the throat, where it is swallowed.
Deep Ear Cleaning - Pre-tour Ear Prep
There is only one safe and thorough way to get ears cleaned. Using a combination of visualization (a camera that goes into the ear) and instruments to suction and gently remove the wax ensures no injury to the delicate ear canal and ear drum. Other techniques, such as irrigation (squirting water into the ear) risk pushing the wax farther into the ear or incompletely removing the wax, a setup for a blockage while on tour.
Does B12 help your immunity?
B12 is known to support immunity via its antioxidant and immune functions. A B12 shot is a great way to supplement your B12 and get your body ready for immune challenges.
