Speech therapy


After visiting a doctor, remember the doctor you are to visit, you will be asked to go for speech therapy. This therapy will teach you how to control stammering. From the therapy, you will learn how to speak correctly and learn what triggers your stammering. There are several exercises which you can use right now to reduce your stammering!

- Practice your speech in front of a mirror. Try to look at your face and see how you look like when you pronounce words. Just try it little by little!


- Don`t be shy or afraid. There may be pauses while you are speaking. You just need to choose your own pace right now to speak words correctly.  e.t.c



Stammering Cure


There is no magic pill that can stop stammering. The British Stammering Association recommends therapy as the best cure for stammering. You just need to follow your doctors` treatment list.

some doctors do advise adding dried dates, almonds and Indian gooseberry to your diet. These products can help you to train your jaws and tongue.



Lifestyle changes

Stammering usually occurs as a result of psychological trauma. Building your self-confidence is another necessary step in reducing your stammering. When you are confident – you do not feel stress. Eventually, you will find your inner confidence to speak freely without stammering.

While therapy is not a bad idea, the best cure to chronic stuttering or stammering is to speak entirely in a different tone than your original tone.

When you speak words in a tone that is originally different from your normal tone, you will never stammer. The problem however, is that, people who don't understand what you're trying to avoid will label you as oversabi and even see you as a very unserious person. That aside, speaking in a different tone is the best cure to stammering.

There are traditional cure as well.
