Homeopathy and ADHD

THE APPROACH OF HOMEOPATHY TO ADHD

Can your child be described in only four terms? Terms like distractedness, impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and a short attention span? Can you say that these are the only traits that encompass your child? Of course not!

Today the term ADHD is common and widespread. Many people use it as a tag for certain behaviors. Statistics state that four to six percent of the population expresses ADHD. These behaviors include the four traits mentioned earlier. These traits cause disturbances at all levels, at home, at school, and socially. There are some theories about the cause of ADHD, ranging from environmental factors like parents, allergies, and vaccinations, all the way up to chemical imbalance of neurotransmitter activity in the brain.

The treatment that conventional medicine prescribes for ADHD is therapy sessions and a combination of medicines, including Dexedrine, Ritalin, Aderall, and Prozac. Side effects of these medications are dangerous and well known. The target of this short paragraph is to open a door for another approach to ADHD. This approach is Homeopathy which offers a completely different take on the subject.

Let’s go back to the opening question. Can a child be described in only four, adverse terms? Human beings are complex and unique. Each one of us has our own characteristics and qualities that make us special. The job of the homeopath is to observe the child, learn who they are, and find what is unique and peculiar about them. For example, does the child like to play outside? Or Inside? What bothers the child? What do they like to eat? Do they suffer nightmares? When the child is restless how do they act? What kind of childhood issues do they have? Were there pregnancy issues?

Note how the picture has changed from four traits which are general and vague, to a clear picture with many defining traits. On top of that, homeopathy can offer hundreds of year’s worth of knowledge and over 3,000 different remedies. Every remedy is different in its qualities. Since remedies work on the energetic level and are diluted to a molecular level, you won’t find yourself in a situation with horrific side effects. The homeopathic process is gentle, gradual, and safe. Since homeopathy removes disturbances in the energetic level, the body and the mind can function without obstacles. As a result, day to day life, work efforts, and school performance is greatly improved. The ADHD is effectively controlled and removed.
