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

Hi pratik thanks for sharing your concern, I want to assure you that stammering is manageable and improvable - even if its been present from birth
1) SPEECH THERAPY- find a certified speech- language pathologist either locally or online for fluency shaping words and shuttering modification
2) self practice exercises can be done daily-
breathing control- practice diaphragmatic breathing-10 minutes twice daily
inhale deeply (count 4) , hold (count4) exhale slowly (count 6)
slow reading - read a passage slowly out loud everyday
mirror talk- talk to yourself in mirror for 5-10 minutes daily
smile gently as you talk
this will increase your confidence level
for example instead of K-K-K-KITE SAY Khhhh-ite in a long soft stretch
practice mindfulness meditation daily
Brahmi can help reduce stress
ayurvedic support ( optional but very effective)
Nasya with Brahmi oil instil 2 drops daily in both nostrils in morning
Brahmi vati- 1 tab daily at bed time
saraswarista- 15ml twice a day after food with ghee
tips-
use pauses- silence is very useful
smile before speaking- it relaxes your body and the listener
prepare scripts for interview and practice multiple times
acknowledge your stammering openly- it diffuses tension
thank you

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.
