If your child has been newly diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or if your child has been taking prescription drugs and they don't seem to work well, then make sure to read this article.
In it, you will learn a natural way to overcome the symptoms without putting your child's health or development at risk.
There are many ways to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Although the treatment that you are most familiar with is probably prescription drugs, there are some things that you need to know before giving your child prescription medicine.
First, drugs do not cure ADHD; instead they suppress the symptoms.
If your child stops taking the medicine, then the symptoms will return.
Second, prescription drugs have side effects.
Some people are more sensitive to these side effects than others.
Although the side effects depend on the type of drug your child is taking, they can range from things like sleeplessness to loss of appetite to more serious issues like psychosis and even heart issues.
While loss of sleep and appetite seem relatively tame when compared to the more serious issues, understand that in order for a child to develop properly, he must get proper sleep and nutrition.
Despite all this, some kids do well on prescription medicines.
Due to the side effects and unknown long term risks of giving kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder prescription medicine, many parents are turning to natural remedies.
These remedies can be very effective when given daily in a formulation that is specifically formulated to treat ADHD.
Look for all-natural, plant-based ingredients such as Tuberculinum, Arsen Iod, Verta Alb and Hyocyamus.
These ingredients have been clinically proven to reduce outbursts, agitation, hyperactivity, impulsivity and tantrums, while increasing concentration and the ability to stay on task.
These remedies work by providing the brain with the nutrients it needs to overcome the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder without side effects, drug interactions or any other complications.
No matter which treatment method you follow, a healthy diet will enhance your efforts.
Avoid sugary, caffeinated sodas which can worsen hyperactivity and agitation.
Also, try to wean your child off processed foods that can contains dyes and preservatives that adversely affect the brain.
Instead feed your child a diet that is primarily made up of fresh vegetables and fruit in season, lean protein, nuts, legumes and whole grains.
Not only will this type of diet create even blood sugar levels, it will also give your child the nutrients to help heal the brain.
In addition to a daily natural remedy and good food, make sure your child gets daily exercise.
This can include anything from walking the dog around the block to a bike ride to organized sports.
Exercise is important not only because it will tire your child out and reduce hyperactivity but also because it releases feel-good endorphins that rejuvenate the body and brain.
Although this is a simple program for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it works.
Start with the natural remedy, wean your child off processed foods, replace with healthy, natural foods and add regular exercise.
Before you know it, you will notice a shift in mood and behavior that will serve your child at home and in school.
