Treating ADHD the Natural
Way
By David
Chandler
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.
