This is our experience with ADHD natural remedies. We've tried several different things, and what we've found is that different things work for different kids. Medication, natural ADHD remedies, and behavior modification programs have all worked with our kids. This particular article is about ADHD natural remedies.
Out of our five adopted children (which is more common than most realize), three have either ADHD or ADD. Four years after taking her medication, our fifteen year old announced that she "is her own person" and is no longer interested in taking her meds. This rash choice has affected her in that she has gotten into some trouble.
My son, who is eleven, has started on some medication and it has helped him with bedwetting at night, and is doing well. He can now better enjoy sleepovers.
My youngest is also in the ADHD boat. However, this is only one on a list of many health problems this sweetie has. He has cerebral palsy also, but it is his sensory integration disorder that makes dealing with his ADHD almost impossible. You see he cannot tolerate any textures in his mouth or smells out of the ordinary. His body physically rejects it. Unfortunately it took us a few tries of different meds before we discovered this (counseling fund has already been set up due to this setback!) was the cause of him not being able to take meds.
Trust me - I have tried everything that I could think of. Sprinkled on waffles, hidden in ice cream, buried on the back of the tongue - he could not swallow and could taste the bitterness. So then we looked into the patch.
Since this is only available in the stimulant form, we had serious bounce back when the medicine started wearing off. He became weepy and destructive. That didn't work either.
I learned from a naturopath that caffeine could counteract the symptoms and so we introduced Diet Pepsi to his lunches for six months. It had to be sugar free or it we would lose the benefits we were after. We noticed little change. The doctor said that we may want to examine other causes than the ADHD. I was at the end of my rope.
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 outcome was incredible! I have just ordered my second bottle. For staying on task at school, my kiddo went from earning zero points (the lowest) to eleven (the highest)! Three months later, my son is self motivated where his homework is concerned, is more focused, while earning an average of eight points at school. His frustration level is dramatically reduced. One of the biggest perks is that the medication is in droplet form and not pills. Just a few drops in his root beer and he gulps it down. He will even add the drops himself!
I am ecstatic and he is happier. Success in life has a way of doing that for a boy! If you're having trouble and have the same "pill swallowing" problems that we did, maybe one of the natural ADHD remedies like Focus Formula is for your little one.
