Let me share our experience with ADHD natural remedies. While we have tried a long list of different remedies, we have found that different things work for different kids. Natural ADHD remedies, behavioral modification, and medication have all been avenues that we have exhausted. This article examines ADHD natural remedies.
Apparently more common than not, we have discovered that out of our five adopted chicklets, three have ADHD or ADD. After four years of taking medication, our fifteen year old has declared that she "is her own person" and will no longer cooperate taking her medication. Unfortunately, this has caused her to get into a little bit of trouble.
Because of his medication, my eleven year old son is now able to comfortably enjoy sleepovers. He is not worried about the nighttime bed-wetting and is able to awaken as he is not in such a deep sleep.
My littlest lamb also suffers from ADHD, and it is only one of many health concerns he is dealing with. Some of the things that are making his ADHD near impossible to deal with are sensory integration disorder, and cerebral palsy. Smells out of the ordinary and textures in his mouth his body will physically reject. After attempting a couple of different medications, we discovered that this was the reason that he could not take his meds (we have set up a counseling fund already due to this setback!).
Believe me, I tried everything! Hide it in ice cream, sprinkle it on waffles, pushing it back on his tongue. He just couldn't swallow it and he could definitely taste the bitterness. So then we tried the patch.
Since the only form available was the stimulant form, we found that there was a high price to pay. Upon the medication wearing off, we found our son had destructive tendencies and would be in tears. This was not working either.
I learned from a naturopath that caffeine could counteract the symptoms and so we introduced Diet Pepsi to his lunches for six months. It had to be sugar free or it we would lose the benefits we were after. We noticed little change. The doctor said that we may want to examine other causes than the ADHD. I was at the end of my rope.
Exasperated, I googled "my son has ADHD and can't take meds". I thought I might be on to something when several homeopathic remedies came up. After doing some research, I took a hard look at Focus Formula from Native Remedies. On the upside we found that it was made from all natural ingredients, and on the downside, we found that it would take at least three weeks before we would see results. We forged ahead anyway.
The results? I just ordered my second bottle. My baby went from earning zero points for staying on task at school to earning 11 (the maximum). After 3 months, he is able to self start on his homework, stay focused on it, earn an average of 8 points at school and his frustration level is way down. The best thing - drops instead of pills. We put it in root beer, and he slugs it right down! He knows it's in there, he even does it himself!
I am ecstatic and he is happier. Success in life has a way of doing that for a boy! If you're having trouble and have the same "pill swallowing" problems that we did, maybe one of the natural ADHD remedies like Focus Formula is for your little one. - 14130
