Gemstones for stuttering I know this sounds like pseudoscience but I recently became interested in the thoughts of St. Hildegard of Bingen, a German Benedictine abbess of the 11th century. I was particularly struck by her views on medicine, which seem to be still relevant and modern today. She claimed that gemstones can be used for human health. She argued that chalcedony stone improves speech fluency. As a consequence I gave it a try and bought a cheap chalcedony stone from a herbalist shop. Women can easily wear the gemstone as a necklace or bracelet. As a man I don't feel comfortable to do that, so I bought a flat stone so that I can put it inside my sock. I wear the stone every day inside my sock in contact with the skin. I put the gemstone on one side of the foot near the ankle so that I can walk easily. The gemstone is flat so it is hardly noticeable. I noticed that I speak more fluently by wearing the gemstone. Of course this could be 100% a placebo effect but I don't no it for sure. I might buy a control stone to make a blind test on myself in the near future. I will try agata stone too because Hildegard claimed that it helps those who are afraid of public speaking. Did anyone of you tried gemstones to reduce the severity of stuttering?
