What should I eat to stop stammering?
Stammering or stuttering is a type of speech impairment where sounds or syllables are repeated involuntarily or there are unintended gaps in between words when the person is trying to speak. People develop stutters due to genetic flaws, motor functioning defects, coordination problems or due to psychological stressors.
The condition can result in anxiety, depression and withdrawal from verbal communication. How does homeopathy help? A stutter can be practised away or corrected by speech therapy but there is no specific medicine that can be used to cure stammering. Homeopathic medicines can provide relief from the symptoms by fixing flawed nervous functions, improve motor coordination and modify the vocal apparatus.
Different homeopathic treatments can be used depending on the nature of the condition. The following is a list of homeopathic remedies and lifestyle changes that can be used to address the problem: 1. Foods rich in vitamin B6 like nuts, fish, bananas and chicken should be consumed regularly by children who have a stutter to help with motor functions.2.
Adults should avoid caffeine, tobacco and other recreational drugs as they cause hyperstimulation of the nervous system.3. Stramonium (jimsonweed) can be used when the stammering is violent and the person distorts his facial muscles heavily in order to be able to speak.4. Lycopodium (club moss) can be useful for stammering as well as depression, memory weakness and sleep problems.
This is especially helpful if the patient struggles with the last few words of a sentence.5. Spigelia is beneficial for a mild stutter at the beginning of a sentence, often followed by undisturbed speech.6. Causticum is prescribed when emotional excitability causes stammering, twitching of the facial muscles or problems in the vocal chords.7.
- Staphysagria can aid in reducing social anxiety which often causes stammering i.e.
- The stammer only appears while interacting with strangers or authority figures.8.
- Nux vomica (strychnine) is the medicine to use when stammering is a result of extreme stress or overwork.9.

Aconite can provide immediate relief in such cases.10. Lachesis is an effective homeopathic medicine when the patient stutters over specific letters or syllables.11.

Does drinking help stuttering?

Can too much sugar cause stuttering?
Gut Bacteria and Stuttering: A Potentially New Dimension in Stuttering Treatment – There is no direct evidence that supports the claim that diet impacts stuttering. However, we have to consider that stuttering is a multifactorial disorder. A number of neurotransmitters (chemicals) in the brain impact stuttering including dopamine.
A study on the impact of medications that directly affect the dopaminergic and serotonergic mechanisms shows that medication, which downregulates the release of dopamine may help reduce stuttering. This shows that dopamine is one of the key factors that influence childhood-onset fluency disorders like stuttering.
Groundbreaking research by Dinan, Butler and Cryan on gut bacteria highlights their ability to influence the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. Psychobiotics or the study of micro-organisms with the ability to influence behavior may pave a new path for the treatment of several disorders including stuttering.
It is indeed possible to increase or decrease the levels of “good” gut bacteria by controlling the food one consumes. Who knows – following a particular diet to increase the population of helpful bacteria and reduce the secretion of dopamine in the brain may soon be one way to control one’s stuttering.
However, at this moment, the research is still at a nascent phase, and taking control over stuttering via dietary modifications is still a hypothesis, albeit, a highly realistic one.
