Stammering - remedies in homeopathy

Stammering

Stammering (or stuttering) is a disturbance of the rhythm and fluency of speech.

It may take the form of repetitions of syllable or words, or block in the production of speech.

Stammering is four times more frequent in boys than in girls.

Alternative Therapy

1. Self help - Stammering can be treated by the regular practice of slow, relaxed breathing. For instance, a minute spent controlling your breath before making a speech may be helpful.
Many people may find that breathing practice combined with co-ordinated movement is also useful.

2. Hypnotherapy - when appropriate, a patient can be taken back in time - repressed - to try to discover, and sometimes relieve, the onset of the problem. In all cases, eco - strengthening techniques are used while the patient is I a hypnotic, relaxed state.
Autohypnosis can, with the aid of prerecorded tapes, be applicable for speech and voice problems.
Visualising difficult social situations under hypnosis, while at the same time receiving positive suggestions, may also help to desensitise some stammers.

3. Acupressure - voice problems may be relieved by pressing down on the bottom, outside corner of the thumb nail.
