What is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic behavioral or developmental disorder which becomes apparent in childhood. The child is found to be hyperactive, impulsive, and inattentive.

It implies that generally the child is not able to focus on what they do, is unusually active when compared to other children of the same age, and takes long time in perceiving or understanding things.

Based on these characteristics, ADHD is classified into three major subtypes: predominantly impulsive and hyperactive, predominantly inattentive, and combined inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive.

Not all the children having this disorder are found to display the same symptoms. Some may even exhibit symptoms like being aggressive, destructive, depressed, and having manifest boredom. These symptoms cause great difficulty to the child in emotional, social, and academic functioning and situations.

It is a very common disorder found among children and studies show that the ratio of number of boys suffering from this disease is greater than that of girls. Though the disease can be treated when diagnosed properly and medicated, certain symptoms may persist even into adulthood.

Homeopathic Treatment Approach

Homeopathy has an impressive history in curing children exhibiting the symptoms of this disease. Those homeopathic remedies which are found to be most helpful in treatment of ADHD are:

Stramonium

It is advised when a child has many fears and shows signs of going through post-traumatic stress turmoil. It is used for treating children who are violent and show symptoms of severe hyperactivity. Such children usually fear death or being isolated and may have nightmares.

Cina

This remedy is useful for children who are physically aggressive, restless, and fretful, especially during sleeping hours. They usually grind teeth or wet their bed and might be having pinworms. These children even suffer from problems like continuous coughing and itchy nose.

Hyoscyamus

If the child is highly impulsive, gets aggressive while talking and starts hitting or screaming, is not able to think quietly, and often gets into depression, then this homeopathic remedy can help to a great extent. It helps the child get out of unusual behavior such as laughing without any sense, talking without logic, and acting unreasonably.
