Homeopathic Treatment for Stammering by National Homeo Pharmacy

Stammering - also sometimes referred to as stuttering - is a relatively common speech problem in childhood, which can persist into adulthood.

Stammering is when:

• You repeat sounds or syllables-for example, such as saying "mu-mu-mu-mummy"
• You make sounds longer - for example, "mmmmmmumrny"
• A word gets stuck or doesn't come out at all

Stammering varies in severity from person to person, and from situation to situation. Someone might have periods of stammering followed by times when they speak relatively fluently.

Types of stammering

There are two main types of stammering. They're known as:

• Developmental stammering - the most common type of stammering; it occurs in

Early childhood when speech and language skills are developing rapidly

• Acquired or late-onset stammering – is relatively rare and occurs in older children and adults as a result of a head injury, stroke or a progressive neurological condition; it can also be caused by certain drugs or medication, or psychological or emotional trauma

Prevent Stammering by:

• Creating an environment where your child feels more relaxed and confident about talking
• Strategies to increase fluency and develop communication skills
• Working on feelings associated with stammering, such as fear and anxiety
