ADHD & Natural alternatives

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know of herbal remedies that can replace Ritalin for the

treatment of ADHD?

 

My son has been on Ritalin for years, plus he has to take Remeron to

help him sleep because of the effects of the Ritalin. Now that he's in

college he wants to stop taking his medications which he says he's

addicted to and replace it with a natural treatment. Any suggestions?

I am sure you are aware that he would need to be weaned from the meds gradually.

I believe the Herbal Healer Academy has a homeopathic combination for ADHD.

BTW, I have been diagnosed with ADHD since I have been 14 years old. Yoga can

help a great deal.

I am classified as severe (I was just re-evaluated)and will not, nor have I

ever taken medication for it. I am often one of the mysterious "control" people

mentioned in various studies. I still managed to earn an AA, BS, MS, and I am

taking a break before pursuing my PhD. I am a biologist and college instructor,

even though I have virtually no short-term memory. The point is that maybe

everyone is not meant to perceive and process the world the same way. We know

believe that Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Albert Einstein (who couldn't

remember his own phone number) all had ADD or ADHD. Believe it or not, some of

us find ADHD to be a gift, creativity comes as easily as the breath, innovation

is our second nature.

Hello all,

 

I too have ADHD and it is no fun. I was taking adderall but the effects of

the drug were mind-boggeling and i did not like it at all. Please respond, I

too would like to know some herbal remedies to help, or if there are any KY

exercises, that would be great.

Dear Hansmukh Kaur,

 

I have read that homeopathic remedies used to support constitutional changes

can help with problems such as ADHD. Also, my Chinese herbal teacher

(previously she had taught special children) felt strongly that herbs not

drugs should be used to approach these difficulties. In either case, a

professional must personally see your son and work with him over a long

period. An herb or remedy can't be easily assigned since they are chose

based on the subtle detail of his case. Your son is of an age when he can

understand what he is doing, so that is helpful.

Satnam David,

Keep up, there are ways to cope with this problem. My solution to most

problems with the brain and the mind is Kirtan kriya otherwise known as the

Sa ta na ma meditation. I am not attention deficit but was always scattered

mentally. I did this meditation as a teenager and it fixed me in amazing

ways.It not only readjust, realign and connected the neurons?in my brain but

calmed my nervous system at the same time.This meditation connects the

missing links in the brain that did not get connected and thus causes us

problems.It is a great meditation therefore, for bringing about emotional

balance. This meditation can be found in the Sadhana Guidelines and most

kundalini beginners manual. It might also be on the kundaliniyoga web page.

This meditation is my best friend and I hope you try it.

Dear Hansmukh Kaur a other members that asked,

 

Dr Mercola http://www.mercola.com has a lot of information about

this condition in his website.

I did a search ADHD and many documents appeared.

One example is: http://www.mercola.com/2002/jul/20/adhd.htm

 

Also this website is very good to learn about health

http://www.alternativemedicine.com

 

A search brought the following article.

 

http://www.alternativemedicine.com/AMHome.asp?cn=Catalog&act=GetProduct&crt=

ProductKey=1144&style=\AMXSL\ArticleDetail.xsl

 

This site also lists alternative doctors and clinics. My personal

experience tells me that it is very good to learn as much as one can but

it is much better to also have a good natural doctor.

 

Both are very professional websites that have helped me a lot to cope

with a serious health problem we have had at home for a few years.

 

I am also a member of an alternative health where you can

put questions. Some doctors are also members and they are helpful. I

don't know if it is appropriate to post it here, so email me privately and

I will send you the address.

 

I hope it helps,

 

Núria
