Do Herbal Remedies Help ADHD?
If you have a child with ADHD, you know the frustration of being able to help the child cope in a world where their thought process is different to those around him or her.
You also are most likely aware of the dangers that lurk behind the drugs that are used to treat ADHD.
You may decide to try herbal remedies that promise to "cure" ADHD.
Save your money and don't look for a herbal "cure" for ADHD.
A child who has been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder will always have this disorder - it should be seen as the thing that makes your child unique and a character trait rather than a character flaw.
This is because along with the problematic aspects of ADHD (not being able to sit still for long, impulsiveness, inattention to detail) comes the promises aspect of the disorder, which is usually a high creative drive.
Since the beginning of time, children with ADHD have blazed a trail all of their own.
It is no small wonder that some of the most creative and inspiring people in the world, from President Lincoln to Winston Churchill, had attention deficit disorder.
Herbal remedies are sold all over the internet and are really no different than what used to happen when a con artist would fly into town on a wagon and promise tonics as cure alls.
The tonic has just been given a different label (herbal remedy) and marketed in a different manner (online instead of from town to town in a wagon).
They are nothing new.
The child with ADHD is who they are and herbal remedies will not change that.
If you want to truly help your child with ADHD to be able to function at their highest capacity without compromising their creativity, you can use therapy approaches that allow you and the child to see the ADHD as not a curse, but a gift.
Sure, there are down sides to it, but the down side to being ordinary is that you are never going to rise above it.
Many people who are considered to be "normal" reach their peak of their glory days in school, whereas the ADHD child may find that his glory days are just beginning when he or she gets out of school and can do their own thing.
A child with ADHD should not have to alter his or her personality to please others at their own expense.
Drugs are mind altering and can make the child listless and tired all of the time - a shell of their former self.
Herbal remedies, even if they worked, would do the same thing.
If you really want to help a child with ADHD, you will skip the drugs, forget the herbal remedies and start working with the child to help them not be cured of ADHD, but to learn to turn what is seen to be a disorder into a gift.
