Holistic Adhd Treatments: ADHD Holistic Treatment
Holistic treatment is not about resolving a specific disorder like ADHD but rather the body as a whole. If a child with ADHD was to have holistic treatment, it would involve the child’s entire being, psychological, physical, social and mental aspects of their life. The practitioner would identify the imbalances and safely back into alignment through through a drug free routine. A holistic treatment doesn’t look at individual symptom but the entire combination of all negative aspects of the body, mind and spirit.
Treatments for Adhd in Children: Treatment for ADHD in Children – Looking at Better and Safer Options
Before we look at treatment for ADHD in children, I want to examine briefly what could be just one of the causes or at least a contributing factor in ADHD.
University of Miami Research
A research study organized by the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami recently published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine suggests that cigarette smoke could actually be a contributing cause. They studied about 3,000 children and found those that had the highest concentrations of chemicals in their blood were actually much more likely to have conduct disorders and /or have ADHD. These children had been subject to second hand smoking in their families.
A Miracle Treatment?
Question by janember819: A miracle treatment?
My 5 yo son has been diagnosed with ADHD-combined type and ODD recently. Its been recommended to us to put him on medication. I have been doing some reading on the different types of available medications and I have to say, they ALL scare me! The side effects are atrocious with some of these medications. So, I have done some searching and came accross a herbal treatment called “Focus ADHD”. What caught my eye is the tons of testimonials posted on the site for this drug, and some of them (the testimonials) brought me to tears. Has anyone tried this herbal supplement/treatment? If so, did it work well? Did it have any side effects? Also, has anyone had TRUE success with any of the traditional meds prescribed for ADHD (such as Ritalin, Strattera, etc.)? Any advice or help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
Some more info–This product comes with a “dietary strategy” for parents, and tons of parental advice. In addition to taking the supplement, it says to make the following diet changes-eliminate refined sugars, soft drinks, artificial preservatives, artificial colors and “bad fats” (like trans-fat). It also recommends plenty of exercise and claims to be 100% natural, and completely not addictive, its safe enough to take forever if need be. I also have made a doctor’s appointment for Monday morning to discuss this product. Judging by the great answers I have gotton so far, this supplement is definitely worth a try. Thank you so much!

Holistic Treatments for Adhd: Holistic Treatment for ADHD: Alternatives to Medications
As a doctor who treats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and as the mother of a son with ADHD, one of my research and personal interests is holistic treatment for ADHD. Many ADHD sufferers and parents of children with ADHD are increasingly investigating natural remedies that are effective and do not have the side effects that are associated with commonly prescribed ADHD medications such as Ritalin and its derivatives. These medications are often made from amphetamine salts, and common side effects of these stimulants can include decreased appetite, headaches, upset stomach, the jitters, insomnia, among others.
