Treating ADHD the Natural Way
There is no correlation between people suffering from ADHD and
their accomplishments in life. Albert Einstein, Nelson
Rockefeller, Galileo, and Thomas Edison are just some of the few
famous people who suffer with ADHD.
ADHD can be treated with new drug called Focalin XR. ADHD is
more prevalent in boys than girls. There are three types of
ADHD, namely predominantly inattentive type, predominantly
hyperactive/ impulsive type and a combination of both.
As the name implies, the predominantly inattentive type has
symptoms of inattention i.e. absentmindedness, distractibility,
a short attention span, and difficulty organizing things. The
person suffering from predominantly hyperactive / impulsive ADHA
has symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity i.e. unable to be
seated in one place for a prolonged period, difficulty for
waiting his/her turn. In the combined type, both inattention and
hyperactivity/impulsivity is observed.
After dinner walks, playing in the yard and other outside
activities reduces ADHD symptoms. Your diet is also a factor in
treating ADHD symptoms. The brand of cookie, potato chip, and
ice cream you select in the grocery shop, and the vegetable or
fruit you prefer will have a direct effect on your health,
ability, and behavior. The products you buy in the grocery shop
may contain some chemicals that activate irritability or
hyperactivity.
The holistic approach with naturopathic drugs proved to be more
effective than the strong and addictive psychiatric drugs
(Ritalin, Concerta, and Adderall) in the ADHD treatment. The
herbal remedies are used to treat the symptoms gently and
effectively.
Common herbal remedies for the treatment of ADHD are Ginkgo
biloba, Scuttellaria laterifolia (skull cap), Matricaria
recutita(German chamomile), Centella asiatica( Gotu cola) Avina
sativa( Green oats), Utrica urens ( Umbabazane in Africa) and
Aspalathus linearis ( Rooibos). A natural remedy is less
detrimental to your overall health than that of prescription
drugs. Children who are using psychiatric drugs such as Ritalin,
Concreta and Adderall may develop an addiction and other side
effects to their health.
People with ADHD may have other related conditions such as
learning disorders, ophthalmic convergence insufficiency,
conduct disorder, and antisocial personality disorder. ADHD
patients are more likely to have a family member with ADHD or
one of the related conditions, implying that ADHD may be genetic.
