HOW WELL HOMEOPATHY WORKS IN ADHD
The role of Homeopathy in treatment of disorders having a neuropsychiatric base cannot be understated. The highly individualistic and yet holistic approach of the science ensures that the disease is uprooted from its very foundations and a healthier person emerges out in the world.
Homeopathic treatment for ADHD reduces the aggressiveness, restlessness and obstinacy of the child and can modify them to be calmer and more in control of their daily activities.
SOME OF OUR MOST EFFECTIVE REMEDIES INCLUDE:
- Tarentula –Indicated in people who are extremely restless, destructive, throw temper tantrums and have a deceitful nature.
- Silicea – Headstrong children who are peevish and cross and show marked lack of attention.
- Tuberculinum– Indicated in cases of destructive behavior, people of very irritable and restless, love to travel and amuse themselves.
- Hyoscyamus– Violent children who have a tendency to throw things. Such children also love to remove their clothes much to the chagrin of people around them.
- Heredity is one of the key causes of ADHD.
- Research studies have shown that the disease tends to run in families. However, it is not type-specific. For example, a father who has ADHD of predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type can have a son who has ADHD of combined type.
- Artificial colors added to foods that are regularly consumed by the child or adult can figure in the causes of ADHD, although this has not been significantly proved.
- If the mother has been exposed to toxins during pregnancy, such as active or passive smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, there are high chances of the unborn child developing ADHD due to faulty neuropsychiatric development.
- Difficulty in coping up with life- People suffering from ADHD usually have many problems while defining priorities. In such conditions, they are usually lagging behind in all fields of life, including completing schoolwork, meeting deadlines, being somewhere on time, etc.
- Failure in academics and job- Because ADHD interferes with attention and gives rise to hurried and impulsive behavior, it most often leads to reduced productivity at school and the workplace.
- Relationship problems- ADHD can cause many behavioral problems like uncontrollable anger and contribute to erratic and anti-social conduct that tend to cause a strain in relationships with parents, siblings, peers and colleagues.
- Suicidal disposition- ADHD sufferers cannot, to a large extent, control their behavior. They may get frustrated with this thought and feel that death is a better alternative.
