Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is responsible for affecting about 35% of children in the United States. Due to the lack of medical studies conducted for children using the typical drugs doctors may prescribe for this disorder, many people have turned to ADHD homeopathic remedies. They are considered safer and independent studies have shown they are showing good results.
The types of homeopathic ADHD remedies may include Hyoscyamus Niger, Stramonium and Cina. Hyoscyamus Niger was used in the past along with other plants as anaesthesia. This remedy also was used therapeutically as a psychoactive drug. Stramonium is the dried version of jimsonweed which is used for treating ADHD as well.
Cina or octopus cactus is one type of cactus that is indigenous to Mexico. The plant is used in many homeopathic medicines including ADHD. This medicine was most helpful for those showing physical aggression.
Stramonium was most beneficial for children who were suffering from irrational fears or who had symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome. Hyoscyamus Niger had better results with manic disorders. Children who have been diagnosed with ADHD have problems paying attention, controlling their disruptive behavior and are sometimes uncontrollable.
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. Parents like the idea of this type of remedy because of they are all natural and they like the results they are seeing.
My Child Has ADHD
The diagnosis of ADHD is enough to scare any parent. They have pictures flashing in their mind of an uncontrollable child who does not get along with anyone. This is not the true picture. ADHD children can under the right circumstances are just as calm and loving as the next child.
The key is to see the qualities your child has and wants to share when they are given the opportunity. The use of homeopathic ADHD remedies can help this to happen. The lively, happy and curious child you had can be back in no time. The use of a homeopathic remedy is to take care of the symptoms and allow your child to be able to function just like normal. The alternatives are drugs that make them drowsy, irritable and unhappy.
A normal childhood is what you are striving for your child to experience. This can be possible if you focus on the symptoms of the problem. Finding out what works to help your child learn how to control ADHD is the most important thing. The covering of symptoms does not get to the root of the problem. When treating the child with ADHD it is extremely important that you understand the specific fears and problems the child is having.
In conclusion, the child who suddenly is diagnosed with ADHD is also terrified and they need the reassurance this is something that can be handled. This is just as much a surprise to them as it is to you and they may not understand the term quite as well. Explain to them the problem, as simply as possible, and the ADHD homeopathic remedies that they will be using are very safe. This will help them to cope with this problem that is causing a very traumatic time in their lives.
