adult onset stuttering - KAPHA mucous related ???

[Guest guest]

hello

 

i have been a member for some time w/ this group - finally getting

around to posting a topic for discussion

 

have been learning about ayurveda for around 17 years -

since first reading the book perfect health by deepak chopra... have

since acquired and read many books but my interest continues to be on

the 'surface' level (mainly herbal remedies etc)... without getting too

deep into some of the more ancient techniques

 

 

STUTTERING ???

never born w/ this problem nor was i ever in any way 'abnormal' or

deficient whatsoever (growing up, in school, etc)...

 

but at some point in my early 30's

began to have a stuttering problem - which comes and goes and is

exacerbated anytime i eat either dairy or SUGAR... both of which throw

off kapha and cause excess mucous.

 

i refuse to accept that this is a permanent problem as i seem to be

able to mostly control it by avoiding any SUGAR/carbs and dairy. as

sugar is in everything if i unknowingly eat something that has sugar in

it then i always know it because i begin to experience problems w/

speech

 

 

have started to take over the counter SINUS MEDICATION

(non prescibed) for head congestion and my breathing also seems to be

effected by this head congestion... the sinus medication does seem to

help w/ the stuttering and the congestion.

 

sleeping... adrenal glands ???

one day i was not feeling well and literally slept all day and into the

night (pitta type and usually only sleep 5-7 hours max)... the next day

i felt like a new person and my speech was UNBELIEVABLY better - like

it was perfect!... this led me to question whether or not i might be

experiencing some ADRENAL FATIGUE but dont know how that might be

effecting my speech

 

interested in anyones input/recommendations on this

 

and specifically interested in

 

drying herbs that could be either added to foods or teas

specifically that might help dry out or balance kapha

 

any herbs recom for stuttering/speech related problems ???

 

thanks and regards!
