ADHD Natural Remedies
I would like to share our story with ADHD natural remedies. Our family has tried all sorts of avenues, and we have found that each child is unique in their response to different alternatives. We have explored and found success with different medications, behavioral modification programs, and natural ADHD remedies. This article is focusing on our experiences with natural ADHD remedies.
As it seems to be more common than we thought, 3 of our 5 adopted kiddos have ADHD or ADD. Our 15-year old took medication for 4 years, but in her “I am my own person” stage has refused to continue. Sadly, her impulsivity has got her into trouble some.
My 11-year old is now on medication and he does well and it has helped him with night time wetting as he is not sleeping so deep at night. Sleepovers are much more comfortable now for him.
My baby has been, unfortunately, diagnosed with ADHD. This is only one of many issues that my youngest has to deal with. While he battles cerebral palsy, he also has sensory integrations disorder. This makes dealing with his ADHD a real challenge. His body will literally reject anything that smells out of the ordinary or any textures in his mouth. After exploring many different kinds of meds, we discovered that this was the reason he wasn’t able to take his meds. Due to this setback, we have set up a counseling fund!
I exhausted all avenues! Buried in ice cream, sprinkled over the top of his waffles, placed on the back of the tongue, it was not going down. He was not able to swallow, and could still taste the bitterness. It was at this point that we investigated the patch.
Unfortunately it was only available in stimulant form, which made things dicey in that when the medication wore off he exhibited a destructive streak and would be sobbing. This was not getting us anywhere.
A naturopath suggested that caffeine could balance out the symptoms our son was showing. So, much to his delight, he enjoyed a Diet Pepsi with his lunch everyday for about six months. It couldn’t contain sugar as this would be counterproductive. There wasn’t much change. The doctor informed us to look into other issues besides the ADHD. I couldn’t take anymore.
In a fit of desperation, I googled “my kid has adhd and can’t take meds”. Several homeopathic remedies came up! Hmm, maybe on to something here. So I did some research and decided to try a product called Focus Formula from Native Remedies. All natural ingredients was a definite plus. Downside, minimum 3 weeks to see results. We went 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 thrilled and he is more joyful. This success has made such a difference in our son. If you’re like us and battling the whole ‘pill-swallowing’ nightmare, than you might consider what we did. Take a good look at one the natural ADHD remedies like Focus Formula for your child.
