ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is by far the most common disorder affecting children. As such, it is also the most widely researched childhood disorder. There are a few myths surrounding the disorder, and one of these myths is relevant to the idea that children outgrow ADHD. This is not always the case, and very often the symptoms persist through adolescence and into adulthood, causing tremendous social, professional, and emotional problems along the way.

Alternative ADHD treatments have become increasingly popular, and for good reason. There are many to choose from, but it’s important to research treatments before making a final decision. As with everything, knowledge is key. You can fight ADHD better when you have the right knowledge than without it.

Alternative treatment options include:

* Behavior therapy

* Dietary changes and supplements

* Herbal remedies

* Biofeedback therapy

Homeopathic remedies are gaining in popularity due to the promising results achieved when this treatment option is chosen. Homeopathic remedies are safe, even if your child is taking some other form of medication, or is taking Ritalin, Adderall, Strattera, or some other ADHD medication. They are also not addictive, unlike Schedule II drugs that are used to treat the symptoms and behaviors of the disorder.

Of course, homeopathic remedies have also been plagued with controversy over the years. The reasons for this are unclear, but one is inclined to think that it could be because doctors and members of the medical fraternity continue to dismiss homeopathy as an outdated, obscure, and even ineffective way of treating various health problems. However, people have been using the ingredients in these products for many years, centuries in fact.

Laboratory studies and clinical trials have been conducted to determine whether homeopathic remedies can safely and noticeably produce improvements in children with ADHD. Those containing ingredients such as hyoscyamus niger were found to be the most effective.

Of course, unless you’re a homeopath, you probably don’t know what hyoscyamus niger is, or how it would benefit a child with ADHD as part of a homeopathic remedy. First of all, it should be noted that this ingredient serves to improve attention span and, at the same time, helps curb disruptive behaviors. Children who are almost uncontrollable have been known to benefit from a homeopathic remedy for ADHD that contains this particular ingredient, along with others of course.

As the parent of a child who has recently been evaluated for ADHD, it can be overwhelming to decide which of the alternative medicines is the best. While it is true that homeopathic remedies will not benefit all children who take them, it should be noted that Schedule II prescription alternatives (Ritalin, Adderall, etc.) are also not guaranteed to benefit all children with the disorder. . any. That’s because each child is an individual and must be treated individually. There is no general remedy that works for all children.

How do I know that a homeopathic remedy might be better for my child?

There are a growing number of professionals working with children with ADHD, from around the world, advocating for alternative treatments before resorting to traditional ADHD medications. They hold this view because they recognize the dangers of psychostimulant medications. It’s better to adopt the same attitude if your child has ADHD.
