Will Ginkgo Biloba Improve Blood Circulation To Brain And Eliminate My Speech Impediment?

I was diagnosed with a mild Speech Impediment disorder when I was a child, and still sustain its effects to this day. There are certain days where I can verbally express my thoughts and ideas freely, with little to no error. However, on other days, my speech reverts back to how it s consistently been with a constant stammer and incoherent speech. I have decided not to consult with an Audiologist or Speech Pathology Specialist, for the associated Therapy isn t always an effective approach to the extent of curing the disorder. I ve compiled extensive research, and came across an herbal supplement known as Ginkgo Biloba . Considering the fact that it significantly improves blood flow to various sections of the Brain, I confidently assume that this could potentially eliminate my Speech Impediment. Is my observation correct?

Hello,

Ginkgo is a very good herbal medicine used more commonly to cure brain degenerative changes. There is however no proven therapeutic claim, some conditions show significant improvement but the study is still limited to memory related problems. In your case, speech problems are usually traced back to childhood development, such that, any management done currently might not have high success rates. While it is not a hopeless case, speech therapy is still the main management of choice in your case.

Thank you.
