Various voice states

Sometimes he wheezes from causes that cause hoarseness, which relax the muscles of the larynx and widen the passages, and sometimes from screaming for a long time; in this case, it is more difficult to treat. This sometimes happens to people who constantly and for a long time blow into pipes and trumpets, especially because their breathing is interrupted and held in the lungs, so that the passages widen.

This voice is the opposite of the unclean voice, and the reasons here are also opposite to the reasons of the unclean voice; such are long vigils, exhaustion, singing, especially after meals, tedious exercises and frequent bowel movements.

Treatment: give the voice rest, constantly do moderate exercises, which make you gain weight, take balanced foods, go to the bathhouse every morning, avoid everything that is astringent and drying, as well as copulation.

It is a voice similar to the sound of lead when pieces of lead strike each other. The reason here is moisture, very thick. This can be helped by physical exercise, wrestling, holding your breath, dry rubbing with linen rags, visiting a bathhouse, as well as eating softening and astringent foods such as salted fish and old wine.

Anyone who has such a voice is instructed not to shout or raise their voice for a month and during this time, to speak as little as possible, laugh and move, not to get up and down while running and not to get angry; he should, if possible, keep his hands down and rest them. After this, he should lie on his back more and try to speak with a weight on his chest, for example, lead, which is placed as much as the patient can bear. The best food for him is something that strengthens the sides of the chest, that is, meat from the legs of animals and food that has the property of sticking and drying.
