Namaste Radha ji,
Your persistent hoarseness from morning to sunset suggests an imbalance of Vata and Kapha dosha affecting your vocal cords. Vyoshadi Vatakam is helping you, which indicates that excess Kapha (mucus) may be coating your throat, and some Vata dryness may also be causing strain.
To support your voice naturally, continue warm herbal drinks with ginger, Tulsi, and black pepper, and avoid cold, heavy, and fried foods that increase Kapha. Oil pulling (Gandusha) with sesame oil, followed by Bhramari Pranayama (humming bee breath), can strengthen your vocal cords. Steam inhalation with eucalyptus or mint leaves before singing can also help clear your throat.
In addition to Vyoshadi Vatakam, try Yashtimadhu (licorice) with honey to reduce strain and soothe the vocal cords. Kantakari Avaleha can also be beneficial for maintaining voice clarity and reducing hoarseness.
If the hoarseness persists despite these remedies, a deeper Nadi Pariksha (pulse diagnosis) may help determine underlying imbalances. With consistent care, your voice will regain its clarity, strength, and effortless range for singing. Wishing you a melodious journey ahead!

It sounds like you may be experiencing a Vata imbalance, which can cause dryness and strain in the voice, particularly when overused. Vyoshadi Vatakam is often used to balance Vata and support the respiratory and vocal systems, as it has properties that help soothe dryness, clear mucus, and ease strain in the throat. Since it brings clarity and ease to your voice, it indicates that it’s helping to balance the elements of your body that affect your vocal cords. Ayurveda also recommends maintaining a warm, hydrating diet with soothing herbs like Licorice and Ginger to support your voice. Additionally, regular oil gargles with sesame oil or using herbal teas like Tulsi can further help. Avoiding excessive speaking or singing without rest and incorporating practices to calm Vata, such as meditation and adequate hydration, can also support your vocal health over time. If the issue persists, you may want to explore deeper Ayurvedic treatments to restore harmony to your voice and overall vitality.

Ugh, having a hoarse voice must be really frustrating for a singer, but hear me out. Your experience with vyoshadi vatakam, giving you some clarity and ease is a clue there. If it's working, it's probably doing so by balancing that kapha or maybe even vata dosha, you know, those sneaky doshas which can impact the respiratory system and vocals. A hoarse voice often means kapha's got the upper hand, leading to mucus and maybe congestion, which affects your cords.
Though vyoshadi vatakam is a good start, maybe we can tweak a few more things. Try staying hydrated with warm water. You might want to try a concoction of ginger and turmeric tea, a small pinch of black pepper, and honey. Sip it throughout the day. But be careful with honey – don't heat it,. just add it when the drink is cool enough.
Warm oil gargles might help, too—sesame oil or coconut oil should do the trick. Before you sleep, swish a bit of lukewarm oil in the mouth and spit it out. Not literally singing to your taste buds but close. Oils can lubricate and protect your throat lining, offering a smoother vibe when you sing.
Watch your diet a bit, stay clear of stuff that triggers mucus, like dairy or excess cold foods. Go for meals that boost digestion because good agni—digestive fire—keeps things balanced. Light meals and regular eating times can be very helpful.
Lastly, consider some pranayama exercises in the morning; Alternate nostril breathing or kapalbhati might bring a little magic by enhancing lung capacity, balancing those doshas and getting you some more vocal range. Any drastic changes in your health or safety (duh) should see a doc promptly, won’t ya?
