Seeking Help for My Son's Speech Delay and Focus Issues - #50041

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): The most renowned herb for focus. It helps calm the restless mind while enhancing cognitive function. Shankhapushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis): Excellent for reducing frustration and irritability. It helps “cool” the mental fire that leads to throwing things. Vacha (Acorus calamus): Known specifically for speech disorders. In many traditions, a tiny pinch of Vacha powder mixed with honey is used to stimulate the vocal centers. Saraswatarishta: This is a traditional fermented liquid preparation often used for children with speech delays to improve clarity and concentration. External Therapies & Diet Physical touch is very grounding for a child who is “running all the time.” Shiro Abhyanga (Head Massage): A nightly 5-minute head massage with Brahmi Oil or Kshirabala Oil can help settle his nervous system before sleep. Ghee (Clarified Butter): Ayurveda considers Ghee the best vehicle for brain health. Giving him Saraswat Ghrita (medicated ghee) in the morning on an empty stomach can be very effective for speech development. Reduce Stimulants: Minimize refined sugar, artificial colors, and “crunches” (dry, airy snacks), as these increase Vata and can worsen hyperactivity.
