Post-concert syndrome
Is that you? The one holding flowers...
Leon Lai sang 20 songs non-stop, songs that grew up with me. As a 30-year fan, I attended several long-awaited concerts, but with the successful conclusion of the 9 shows, it's inevitable to feel a bit down, and my voice is a little hoarse.
Attending a concert feels like an intense workout. Not only do you listen to Leon's enchanting voice, like a record playing, and watch him, still handsome in his suit, but the entire audience is excited, bodies swaying to the rhythm and melody, waving glow sticks, and singing along with their idol. However, excessive cheering, screaming, and singing can easily lead to a hoarse voice, or even a sore and swollen throat.
When your voice is hoarse due to overuse, you can steep 3 sterculia seeds and 2 licorice slices in hot water for 10 minutes and then drink it. This tea can clear the throat, relieve phlegm and coughs, and moisten the intestines for bowel movements. It is not suitable for individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency-cold, common cold due to wind-cold, diabetes, or low blood pressure. Due to the medicinal properties of sterculia seeds, it is recommended to drink one cup daily when needed, and stop consumption once symptoms improve. Do not drink for more than 5 days.
Sterculia seeds are sweet in taste and cold in nature, affecting the lung and large intestine meridians. They are often used for symptoms such as hoarseness due to lung heat, sore and swollen throat, acute tonsillitis, and dry cough without phlegm. They can clear lung heat, relieve the throat, detoxify, and moisten the intestines for bowel movements.
Licorice is sweet in taste and neutral in nature, affecting the heart, lung, spleen, and stomach meridians. It can replenish qi and invigorate the middle, clear heat and detoxify, relieve phlegm and coughs, alleviate urgency and pain, and harmonize the medicinal properties of other herbs.
Leon Lai once said at a concert, "Where there is Leon Lai, there will be sunshine." I hope my idol stays healthy and continues to hold concerts until he's 80!
