Dysarthria: Treatment, Diet and Home Remedies

and

Yoga and Exercise

  • Blowing bubbles is a beneficial exercise for breath control and for pursing the lips, which are both needed for speech articulation.
  • Using a straw not only works on your sucking skills, but also requires you to purse your lips. Start with thin liquids like water or juice and gradually work your way to something thicker like a milkshake. 
  • Spread peanut butter on your lips, from one side of your mouth to the other, and try to lick it off. This forces your tongue to reach from side-to-side to remove it from your lips. 
  • If you have a swallowing problem, do not perform either of these exercises.

Home Remedies
