        I could find none of it via google except maybe the clenched jaw. The vast majority of which are from sketchy health clinics pushing dumb shit to fleece rich people from their money.

        So no, scientifically, it doesn’t.

        Put your tongue wherever you want, keep your posture moving and in a comfortable position, and if you clench your jaw so hard you grind your teeth, then you have Bruxism, which is something entirely different you slack jawed sheep.

        Want better stress relief? Quit doing coke. Quit drinking alcohol. Exercise. Eat better. And most of all, get sleep. If you can’t do any of those on your own, go to a doctor and get help for it.

        Ok. Forgive me for being cynical, I just think if the reason for being stressed remain, they’re still going to effect you.

          Yeah but its like a cycle thing. Having tense clenched up muscles can make you feel more stressed and when you’re stressed you clench those muscles. So you can manually get a little break. You’ll still go right back to it if the root causes remain though.

          Also Magnesium Glycinate supplements basically stop muscle clenching for me especially as a side effect from ADHD meds or other stims.

          But also the roof of my mouth is the natural resting place for my tongue keeps me from clenching my jaw so you can’t listen to every silly tip.

            People act like this isn’t science, like we don’t give medicine to people for well researched reasons for these exact things, like medicine is something they know more about by lying about it being “magic”
