ADHD Homeopathic Remedies - Opting For A Gentler And Safer Approach

Posted: Dec 06, 2010 |

Let us face it. There is no hard scientific evidence that shows that ADHD homeopathic remedies actually work. Well, not by using the classic RCT (randomized controlled trials) anyway. That actually is the crux of the matter because as homeopathy is based on giving the body diluted substances to trigger it into healing itself or restoring a lost body mind balance, it cannot be tested like allopathic medicine.

Actually, according to the Annals of Medicine, clinical trials of conventional allopathic medicine are now subject to some suspicion and criticism because the ingredients in the placebo used in their trials have never been revealed or at least in 95% of the trials. That casts a shadow of enormous doubt and one wonders what really was in the placebos! It is anyone's guess.

We do not have to know exactly how homeopathy works but we do want to know about safety and efficacy. Those are the two criteria which will help us decide. If we decide to treat our children with amphetamine like drugs which are the famous psychostimulants then that is fine.

We should realize though that there are many questions left unanswered about these medicines. Those questions are all summed up in the FDA black box warning on the meds. Adderall, Ritalin and Vyvanse are great at calming kids down. Hyperactivity and distractability plus impulsivity are all dramatically reduced.

But the side effects can be troubling as up to 30% of children on these drugs will testify. Medical experts have also shown that the effects of these drugs will wear off after three years. The FDA has voiced its own concerns by simply slapping the black box warning on all these medicines. That is the maximum warning in existence!

Surely there is a safer gentler approach? Yes, there is but everybody scoffs at it! That is what homeopaths have to put up with and yet the medical establishment cannot explain away the side effects and the health risks of their own medicines. But let us stick to the actual facts about homeopathic ADHD remedies.

Here are the facts. ADHD homeopathic remedies can calm hyperactivity in kids so that fidgeting is much reduced. They can reduce the incidence of tics and twitching, reduce impulsive behavior and also help the children to concentrate and pay attention for longer periods. They can also help with mood swings and help to balance moods.

The interesting thing about ADHD homeopathic remedies is that the kids do not know any thing about homeopathy or whether it is better than conventional medicines. The fact is that they are calmer, more relaxed and concentrate better. The teachers and parents notice it and they are relieved that there are no side effects on appetite and sleep. Everybody is much happier all round. Why not join them and relax too? If anybody asks you why you have selected this option, just tell them you prefer a safer gentler option which actually works for your child.

    There has been much controversy over the use of Ritalin and anti-depressants that parents felt might be worse for an ADHD child than the symptoms themselves. The use of this type of drug is giving way to the new ADHD homeopathic remedies.

    Homeopathic remedies for ADHD has been gaining popularity in recent years. Perhaps this shift to a more natural solution has to do with the possibility of both long and short-term addition, or maybe prescription medications failed to produce results (30% of the time), or perhaps the realization that prescription medications only mask ADHD symptoms such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity was a factor.

    Every time I stroll through a herbal or scented garden, I'm entranced by the way it calms my stress and relaxes my anxious mind. It's almost as if Nature laid the plants out especially for me. Parks and gardens are as old as civilization itself. In fact, even Adam and Eve are said to have had their own garden to explore.

    Treatment of ADHD can be very patchy and a lot depends on the education of the parents, the doctors and the teachers. These are the main stakeholders in the game and they all can play a vital role. But an alternative therapy for ADHD is often viewed with some hostility and suspicion, which is most unfair in my view.

    Many parents do not really worry too much about help for child with ADHD. That is because they think that medication will do the trick and there is little else that can be done. They are wrong of course in that the child's environment is vital. All the experts are agreed on this and medical authorities from the CDC to the NIH are all on the same page, officially.

    Most parents wonder about how to control ADHD without medication and if it is possible. The short answer is yes and that is a beacon of light for many parents whose children have become pale shadows of themselves, because of medication. Can you imagine a five year old having thoughts of suicide or a child who has lost his appetite? These are often the problems that parents are faced with.
