Loss of Speech
And Speech disordersLoss of Speech usually comes following Brain trauma such as CVA. It is therefore most often associated with Blood stagnation, but may also be associated with Phlegm obstructing the Brain.
Speech disorders such as stuttering and slow speech development are generally associated with Wind disorders. Typically, Wind-Phlegm obstructs the Brain and Nerves. Yang deficiency or Weakness of the Brain and Nerves can also be causes.
