Goodbye ADHD! 3 ADD Cures That Actually Worked

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD is an often misdiagnosed behavioral condition that affects approximately five out of every hundred children. Its usual symptoms are hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention. Given its nature, ADHD can be frustrating for all parties involved: the child, the parent, the teacher, and the doctor. Therefore, a combined effort to improve the child’s environment is encouraged.

While there are medical interventions available with the help of prescription drugs, those that alter “brain transmission” functions to stimulate the child’s concentration, most parents should prefer the natural remedy to avoid possible side effects on the child. Since ADHD has recently become one of the most studied psychiatric disorders, more studies have concluded that they recommend the use of natural remedies that really work.

Diet alteration. This is one of the cures that work to counter ADHD symptoms. Since ADHD symptoms are highly behavioral in nature, a diet without too much sugar, artificial colors, or preservatives, all of which cause hyperactivity, should be ensured. Additionally, a balanced diet should be seriously considered, as well as the intake of prescribed multivitamins and Omega-3 supplements and fish oil, to help improve brain function naturally.

Routine planning. Good nutrition should also be combined with a trimmed activity plan for the child. Since restlessness is one of the problems for children with ADHD, a brisk walk in the morning before starting the day is an option. A parent may also choose to involve their child in a physical sport such as karate or swimming, to release all the hyperactive energy trapped in the body.

Herbal remedies. Plant extracts act as if they are natural nutritional contents from food intake, therefore no side effects are induced. Various herbs and botanical extracts that cause a “calming” effect for the child may be an option. Some of the most effective are: Hyoscyamus (or Stinking Nightshade) which is reported to reduce outbursts, restlessness and over-excitability; Arsen Iod that reduces tantrums; and, Verta Alb that helps control emotional imbalances. All of which must be prescribed by a physician, specifically with knowledge of homeopathic remedies.
