Freya's Singing Tips: How to deal with PHLEGM 

you look like Dorothy from wizard of Oz

Traditional Chinese Medicine has developed a special herbal cough and phelgm management syrup called Pi Pa Gao (available at Oriental supermarket or Chinese medicine shop). It has liquorice root as one of its main ingredients. There is also peppermint too. A Filipino singer taught me this secret: make a cup of ginger tea, add a teaspoon of raw honey( manuka is good) and a table spoon of the Pi Pa Gao. She was consuming this drink when she had to perform under flu. This concoction is amazing for soothing the throat, suppressing cough and ridding phelgm.

I've had loads of phlegm in my throat my whole life

Omg this is so true! I feel like I tend to clear more my throat more when I'm nervous, and in reality I'm not even sick. I love singing to and sometimes I feel like I need to clear my throat but I hardly have anything... Very great video though (: 👏

Before public speaking my voice fills with an abundance of phlegm on my vocal cords. Good video

So down to earth and plain spoken! And beautiful, of course!!

Apple or vinegar can actually help to REDUCE phlegm ! The foods I know which cause phlegm are dairy, spices and citrus. Also starchy foods, for some people - as well as sugar [tho that's one I completely abstain from].

Love this ... I have acid reflux which causes the phlegm and I am changing my whole diet because I know it’s making reflux worse and causing more mucus your video confirms that I have to be more cautious in what I put in my body

thank the lord! i always have phlegm and it's such a nightmare.

You are so beautiful!!! Lovely in braids and German outfit...Lovely always in all ways. The topic is not congruent with the way you look, but in the end, no phlegm is a good thing.... Now back to you.... You are such a darling, endearing, so generous with care and compassion. You are dazzlingly intelligent, diamond bright and angels must certainly join around you to choir in harmony when sing!!!

Thank you for the lesson..it really helps me...you look so beautiful this way

I love your hair.

I have a bit of an odd experience- my voice is cleaner and clearer when i wake up than later thru the day, mostly because of what I eat/talk to much etc. This taught me to watch what I eat and how much I talk.

You have earned yourself a new subscriber

Excellent info, thank you!

I just alwase have to much mucus i spit it out and its back within a few seconds

Hi Freya I’m a classical opera/ crossover singer from England and my have an allergy to house-dust mites so I would benefit from this video on phlegm which sometimes is a problem when I’ve been singing for a long time

Thank you Freya. Danke

The lighting is so soft that you look like an angelic being lol

thankyousomuch❤❤

I love to sing,and having to expel phlegm is annoying.thanks for your advice.

Thanks for your good information

Just got back from a recording session. No phlegmy voice thanks to ginger and honey infusion. Thank you muchly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You are so beautiful in your October fest look👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So beautiful

i was just singing with a lot of phlegm and i was trying to push it out and now my throat hurts :(

thank you!

No I would say Maria from Sound of Music. Freya the hills are alive with the sound of your music. Love X.

Awesome! Tips. Thank you. Was thinking about starting to sing again since my daughters moved out. Need something to do. Also what style of singing would go well while playing the Harp? Have always loved the beautiful sound. Thanks in advance for any feed back. 💕💕

I usually have phlegm after I get a cold, it's bad because I need to cough it out and sometimes this move just hurt my vocal cords

Didn’t know that singing in a breathy voice could cause a singer’s body to produce more phlegm. Thanks for these tips!

Thanks for a great video. have a skilful time. Pinge

4:26 - 4:50 you're right. As Placido Domingo qouted, "The voice collects and translates your bad physical health, your emotional worries, your personal troubles." This video is really reliable, thank you.

Hi Freya, thanks a lott and lott for this topic. I am seriously struggling so so soooo hard to get rid of this phlegm issue. I am not able to portray my art with full capacity due to this phlegm. I love to sing the songs with my heart, using modulations, boldness in pharses or softness as required. BUT this Phlegm is like my Enemy No 1. :( Will take notes of your points. Meanwhile, please let me know if there is any medication that can keep this Phlegm in control?

Please, is this considered when singing bass as well?

I'm 19 and i got infected by tuberculosis.. i may not good at singing but i like to sing and listen to song.. now it sucks because it kinda hard for me and it hurts when i sing and feel annoying.

Thanks so much. It's always an issue with me.

Shoot I was clearing THE heck out my throat before this video 😂🤦‍♀️

How about ginger tea is it allowed? I drank 2 cups everyday but the mucus is still in my chords.

Help, after I got coronavirus my throat and chest feels so weird, I feel all the mucus stuck in my throat and I want to cough and I feel very nasal when singing, let alone that, after corona I can’t high notes or whistle tones

your vid helps

Nice outfit.

nice dress

Your so sweet!

PLEASE !! if someone can explain to me this. I saw many concerts with Michael Jackson , Billy Idol , INXS , Guns'n Roses , Depeche Mode... and they PUSH their voices for 2 hours or more . I still don't understand how they don't build up mucus in their concerts pushing so hard for so long . I hear no mucus to build up in their performances because their voices sound very clear the entire concerts from start to finish. It is like they have a special potion that they are taking or they use magic or something or maybe they have supernatural forces ?. Me personally I have mucus most of the time that is making my voice dirty . For example if I sing for 30 minutes there are seconds when the mucus go away and I sound clean and my voice is flowing easy but after that suddenly the mucus jumps back and suddenly it is blocking my voice volume, clarity and everything and is not working great at all . So what is the trick ??.

i want to start singing but when i sing high note i would have phlem and my voice would not sound clear.. i'm not cold. i really hate my voice

I love the phrase from Captain Jack Sparrow 😂

NO offence, I came here looking for on stage solutions, found nothing.

America First!

I thought you had just stepped out of a fairy tale to do this video. Thanks, Grethel. I mean, Freya.

For me , it has NOTHING to do with a terrible environment, nor eating habits, I sing some very demanding material, in my range, and demanding for anyone, so half way through a set, I have spontaneous trouble, that is embarrassing at times then goes away, it's not because I hit a certain note or didn't warm up properly. I need something to use on stage between songs that might be better than just water, lemon, tea etc, ... still searching.

What if you still feel it after water
