Speech Therapy: Can Ayurveda Help Improve Speech and Communication Skills? - #14835
My 5-year-old son has been going through speech therapy because he has trouble forming clear words and sentences. While we’ve seen some progress, it has been slow, and I’m looking for additional natural ways to support his speech development. I’ve read that Ayurveda focuses on strengthening the nervous system and improving brain function, which might help with speech issues. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or oils that can aid in better communication and vocal strength? I’ve heard of Brahmi and Ashwagandha being good for the nervous system—would these help with speech therapy? Also, could his diet be affecting his speech development? Are there certain foods that Ayurveda recommends for improving brain function and tongue coordination? Additionally, are there breathing techniques or massages that help strengthen the vocal cords and make speech clearer? If anyone has used Ayurveda along with speech therapy, what worked best for improving speech development? How long does it take to see improvement?
