Spasmodic dysphonia is a neurological condition in which the muscles of the voice box go into spasms, and the vibration of vocal folds gets hindered. The vibration of vocal folds produces voice. When the vocal cords do not vibrate, the speech gets affected. Spasmodic dysphonia can be treated effectively with homeopathic medicines that work to treat the root cause of the problem.
The top homeopathic medicines used to treat spasmodic dysphonia include Stannum Met, Causticum, and Merc Sol.
Homeopathic Treatment of Spasmodic Dysphonia
Homeopathic remedies are selected as per the symptom presentation as well as the changing voice patterns in every individual case. Symptoms like hoarseness of voice, difficult speech, weak voice, shaky voice, brief vocal loss, interrupted voice, strained voice, etc., are treated very well with homeopathy.

The straining in the voice occurs due to the exertion or strain a person puts to speak a single word. Sometimes the spasm can get so intense that the person is unable to speak at all. Stramonium is also indicated in cases where a person has an interrupted or unconnected voice.
Argentum Met – Effective Homeopathic Remedy for Spasmodic Dysphonia in cases with History of Overuse of Voice
Argentum Met is a natural medicine for spasmodic dysphonia where the person has a history of overuse of voice as in public speakers, professional singers, etc. The symptoms that indicate the use of Argentum Met in such cases is hoarseness of voice and aphonia (inability to produce voice sound). These symptoms worsen for speaking for long hours.
Types of Spasmodic Dysphonia
There are three types of spasmodic dysphonia:
Adductor spasmodic dysphonia – The muscle spasm causes the vocal cords to close and stiffen. It results in a tight/ strained / strangled voice full of effort or difficulty to start a sentence.
Abductor spasmodic dysphonia – The muscle spasm causes vocal cords to stay open, and they cannot vibrate because they are too far. In such cases, the voice sounds weak.
Mixed spasmodic dysphonia – Both the muscles that open and close the vocal folds fail to work properly. In such cases, symptoms of both adductor and abductor spasmodic dysphonia appear.
Symptoms of Spasmodic Dysphonia
The symptoms of spasmodic dysphonia mainly are reflected in the form of changed voice quality and difficulty with speech. Symptoms of spasmodic dysphonia may include a hoarse voice, strained/ strangled voice, weak voice, interruptions or breaks in voice and in some cases, brief loss of voice. Some people with spasmodic dysphonia may also have a vocal tremor that causes the voice to shake.
These symptoms may vary from mild to severe. Tiredness and stress tend to worsen the symptoms. The voice changes are present only when a person is speaking in a normal tone and not while laughing, crying, screaming, shouting or singing.
Causes of Spasmodic Dysphonia
The reason behind spasmodic dysphonia is not clearly understood. However, it is believed that abnormal functioning of a part of the nervous system (known as basal ganglia) is responsible for coordinating muscle movements is involved. Women are more affected by spasmodic dysphonia than men.
Some associated risk factors include overuse of the voice, injury to the voice box (larynx), URTI (upper respiratory tract infections), autoimmune disorders and emotional stress.

I take meds for anxiety and depression. What type of negative effects can take place while using homeopathic remedies. What type of guarantee does your treatments give. Have they been approved by the FDA. Have you ever been sued. How did you come to know this was a cure.

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I have spasmodic dysphonia. Please tell me about your product, such as, how fast does it take to work? Also, how safe is it while taking blood pressure medication and an anti-depressant, a thyroid medication, a sleep medication?
How much does it cost? How many people or customers have used it with success?

I was diagnosed with Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia 5 years ago. I’ve been a teacher and coach for over 30 years. At my most recent consult with a vocal therapist, she said mine is “acute pronounced SD”. I can barely get sound out, much pass words. Singing and even just humming are difficult. Any recommendations?

I was diagnosed with “Spastic Dysphonia” in 1975. At the time it almost destroyed my singing, but over time has gotten much better.
It mostly happens now while talking in a normal conversation.
When it began was when my Wife left me and took my Kids away, very emotional time for me. 1974.
Lately it seems to have gotten worse again with my speech.
I’ll be 70 years old this August.
I there anything I can do to improve the flow of my speech…
Thank you, Craig Cathey …

Hi Doctor, I tried the Botox injections twice for spasmodic dysphonia. It did not work. What is the cost involved in trying homeopathic treatment? Thank you.
I’m affected with severe spasmodic dysphonia for at least 5 years without a diagnosis. I’m now in the process of considering Botox injections as a temporary relief. This has been a very frustrating experience as my profession was using my voice in the arts of vocal performances of theatre and music. Help!!!!

Hello Mr. Sharma,
I am a patient of Spasmodic Dysphonia. It started when I was 6 month pregnant with my daughter in 2017. Since then I have difficulty speaking. I live in Maryland USA. The doctors here from JOhns Hopkins evaluated me for any muscle tension and went through speech therapy for 4 weeks. They advised that it’s likely that I have abductor spasmodic dysphonia. Do we have any permanent cure in homepathy for these issues? If yes, do we know how many patients have purused homeopath and got their normal voice back. Please contact me at meghal,vasha@gmail.com or my direct US cell no: +14438864304.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon
