Dear pratikji Thank you for having the courage to speak about your condition Stammering, especially from childhood, can deeply affect confidence, career opportunities, and personal development I understand, the emotional strain you have you have been carrying and anxiety that has built up over time due to this speech concern, you’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re not helpless. I want to assure you that. With consistent effort, proper practises, remarkable improvement is possible. Let us approach your concern with care and clarity, combining modern speed science with traditional Ayurvedic wisdom to offer you a complete path to speech fluency , self-confidence, and emotional calmness According to Ayurveda, point of view, chronic stammering referred to as vikrit vani or mooka is primarily a vata vyadhi a condition rooted in an imbalance of the VATA DOSHA, particularly in the UDAAN vayu which governs speech memory and expression when VATA becomes aggravated due to genetics, fear, anxiety, trauma, poor diet, or lifestyle habits. It causes disruption in the smooth coordination between the mind, nervous system, respiratory function and vocal l apparatus. This leads to issues like broken speech, reputations pronunciation, and blocks-commonly seen in stammering. Long-standing stying also affects the mental channel, often leading to stress, fear of speaking, low self-esteem and social withdrawal As you mentioned that the stammering has been present since birth making it a chronic condition Chronic VATA disorders are more deep rooted and require a multi dimensional approach, not just medicines, but behavioural therapy, breath, work, mind, training, and gradual speech correction You are also experiencing anxiety and reduced confidence -this are not separate issues but directly connected to your stammering. Wind speech becomes an obstacle in daily communication. It affects emotional strength and increases social tension. Therefore, we have to work on your speech and your mind Internal medicine Bag devi rasayan-1 teaspoon can be taken at night after food Choose slowly before swallowing Its sentence speech channels Calm Vata in the throat and mind improves clarity and control Manasamitra vatakam-one tablet daily at night with milk Anu tailam - one drop to each nostril twice daily on an empty stomach Ashwagandha churna+ Brahmi churna- Half teaspoon each with warm milk, at bedtime Continue this medicines for at least 3 to 6 months to allow deep healing If possible try Panchkarma therapy near nearby centres, which will be more beneficial You can try shirodhara nasyakarma Abhyanga In addition to the above treatment Practice speaking, while exhaling slowly inhale deeply and begin speaking gently exhalation Use words like yes or OM in a slow prolonged manner like for example yyyyyyyeeeeeesssssss, Oooooooommmmmmmmmmm This else train the vocal system to release tension and reduce blocks Place one and on your belly and the other, and on your chest breathing deeply through the nose so that the belly rises more than the chest exhale slowly through the mouth This relaxes the diaphragm and improves the vocal rhythm Stand in front of a mirror, speak slowly and clearly to yourself with a smile Express positive affirmation like I speak confidently. I express myself calmly. I have control over my voice. Read newspaper daily Read aloud slowly, then sentence by sentence, then paragraph wise Do not rush, focus on clarity and rhythm, not speed Write a simple short speeches about yourself or any topic of interest Practice speaking them out loudly daily, as if delivering them to an audience Start alone, then with one close person and gradually with many Diet- Warm freshly prepared meals with Ghee, green, leafy vegetables, carrots, beats, pumpkin moongdal rice multigrain roti nuts fruits Herbal tea drink, plenty of warm water throughout the day Regular sleep Sleep before 10 PM and wake up before 6 AM Take early meals, no late night dinner Gentle physical activity like walking or yoga Avoid fried, oily, fermented, and stale food XST or coffee, cold drinks, my the junk food and packet food, heavy meals at night over sleeping or staying up late at night, afternoon nap. Stammering is not your identity. It is a condition and conditions can be improved and even overcome. Many successful people had speech difficulties, but with consistent practice, they turned it around. Do not avoid speaking situations, embrace them with courage Focus, moron, expressing yourself, clearly than being perfect Self acceptance is the foundation of feeling your valuable and worthy with or without speech I can finally say that with the discipline believe in yourself and consistent application of this integrated approach that is Ayurvedic support, breath, training, mental clarity, practices, and speech exercises you will experience is significant improvement in your speech, confidence, and emotional state Recovery may be gradual, but it is certain when you stay committed Wishing you strength clarity and full recover recovery

Addressing stammering can indeed be challenging, but Ayurveda offers some insights to help you manage it more effectively. In Ayurvedic terms, stammering can be seen as an imbalance of Vata dosha, which governs communication and movement within the body. Here’s how you might begin to address this: Firstly, let’s look into dietary management. Include Vata-pacifying foods in your daily intake. This means foods that are warm, moisturizing, and grounding. Favor cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and oats, and healthy fats such as ghee or sesame oil. Avoid cold, dry, and rough foods as they might aggravate Vata, which can exacerbate stammering. Incorporate practices like Abhyanga, which is a self-oil massage, using warm sesame or almond oil. Perform this in the morning before your shower, as it can help relax your nerves and reduce Vata imbalance. Try engaging in Pranayama, especially the Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing). Doing this regularly for about 10 to 15 minutes a day can help calm the mind and improve clarity in speech. Another breathing exercise is Brahmari (bee breath), which has a soothing effect on the mind and nervous system. Additionally, consider herbal remedies such as Brahmi and Ashwagandha, which are known to calm the mind and nervous system, though these should be taken under the guidance of a trained Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure it’s suitable for you. Maintain a regular daily routine, going to bed and waking up at same times each day. A structured rhythm can stabilize Vata. Engage in regular physical activity, like gentle yoga, which supports your grounding and mental relaxation. Finally, interacting with a speech therapist could be pivotal in your journey to improvement. They can provide specific techniques adapted to your needs, complementing Ayurvedic strategies. While Ayurveda offers holistic ways to balance your body and mind, professional speech therapy targets the mechanical aspects of speech.
