An ADHD patient can seem as if he is stuck in an endless cycle of uncontrollable behavior, unable to fit in socially or to rein in his hyperactivity and concentration.
As the symptoms of ADHD manifest, they can make even the most common daily routines nearly impossible to handle.
This makes life difficult for the patient and everyone around him.
Lack of concentration, hyperactivity, distractibility and impulsiveness are all common symptoms of ADHD and they can get in the way of a child participating in school, taking part in group activities and even functioning as part of a family.
In order to facilitate these tasks, doctors routinely prescribe stimulant based medications to control symptoms.
While stimulant based medications such as Ritalin and Adderall can ease surface symptoms, in the long run they are not truly effective for the ADHD patient.
They do nothing to address the neurological imbalance which causes ADHD and they carry serious, even life threatening, side effects.
Fortunately, there are alternatives for those patients and their parents who don't want to deal with standard medications.
In many cases, significant changes in behavior have been achieved by making simple dietary changes.
Eliminating natural stimulants such as sugar and caffeine can help to calm hyperactivity and in children with food allergies, limiting wheat and refined carbohydrates has resulted in improved focus and concentration.
Other techniques have been applied in order to modify behavior in the ADHD patient.
Auditory and neurofeedback methods help ADHD children to control their own brain activity and sharpen concentration.
Individualized activities such as learning a musical instrument allow ADHD children to increase focus and improve retention, making them feel better about themselves as they achieve positive results.
And massage therapy and yoga provide natural methods of calming to control physical twitching.
Another exciting alternative is the use of homeopathic remedies.
Drawing on centuries old theories and specially formulated using a blend of herbs and other plant based substances, these remedies go beyond the surface symptoms to address the neurological imbalance that causes ADHD.
The result is thorough and healing, without the side effects associated with standard medications.
With such natural ingredients as Hyoscyamus, Arsen iod, and Tuberculinum, homeopathic remedies have been proven to calm hyperactivity, improve focus, reduce impulsive and erratic behavior and ease physical twitching.
A natural solution is one of the most effective treatments for an ADHD patient because it is a safe, gentle alternative which creates positive results and peace of mind.
ADHD can be a devastating diagnosis to face, but it doesn't have to become all consuming.
