Many erroneously believe that ADHD, (or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), is simply bad behavior. If a parent disciplines their child better, then the problem will go away. Well, the issue is not that simple. Why? It’s because there are physiological factors involved with the disorder. And, if these issues are not treated, the child will still suffer from the disease, (regardless of the amount of discipline they receive).
This is why most doctors recommend prescription medications for ADHD sufferers. And, usually these medications will fall into two categories: stimulants and non-stimulants.
Examples of stimulants include Ritalin, (the most infamous), Dexedrine and Adderall. All of them work the same way. Basically, they try to alleviate ADHD symptoms by increasing the amount of Dopamine in a child’s brain. This is a neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in making a person feel good.
Yet, for many ADHD children, the benefits associated with stimulants are short-lived. This is because they have a host of side effects including:
Heart problems
Sleeping difficulties
Psychiatric problems
Headaches & Stomach Aches
Addictive
For these reasons, doctors may want to recommend another category of medications for ADHD: non-stimulants. Specific examples can be seen through Strattera, antidepressants and blood pressure medications, (though only Strattera has been FDA-approved as an official medication for ADHD).
Like stimulants, non-stimulant ADHD medications try to control the disease by altering the child’s brain chemicals. However, instead of focusing on dopamine, they try to increase the brain’s norepinephrine, another chemical that affects a person’s mood.
But again, this doesn’t come without serious risks and side effects. They are as follows:
Suicidal thoughts
Tiredness
Nausea
Headaches
Irritability
That’s why you may want to consider an alternative medication for ADHD. How can you find one that will work? You will have to think outside of the box and consider homeopathic remedies.
For example, many parents find that various homeopathic herbs are so powerful they can, (on paper), be considered medications for ADHD. Here are just a few examples:
Centalla Asiatica - Also known as Gotu Kola, this herb relieves ADHD by increasing the brain’s blood flow.
Green Oats - Green Oats serves as a type of nerve tonic, which helps to calm the child, (especially if it’s given over a long period of time).
Panax Gingseng - As a medication for ADHD, this herb works on a different principle. Basically, it flushes out the child’s immune system, so any toxins that might be responsible for the disease never reach the brain.
Fiberzon, Gravizon and Envirozon - These botanicals also work on the same principle as Panax Gingsing. They purify the immune system, so that the child’s body as a whole functions better.
Another remedy can be found through a child’s dietary habits. True, diet is not considered a medication for ADHD, but you’d be surprised at how healing, normal everyday foods can be.
In conclusion, conventional medications for ADHD aren’t perfect. They are full of side effects, and sometimes they don’t even work. Remember too, that ADHD is not a life-threatening disorder. If it’s possible to treat the disease with a homeopathic remedy, wouldn’t that be better than succumbing your child to a lifetime of harmful prescription drugs which may not even work? Indeed, it’s definitely worth trying, especially if you work under the guidance of a homeopathic doctor.
