ADHD Natural Remedies
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.
Apparently more common than not, we have discovered that out of our five adopted chicklets, three have ADHD or ADD. After four years of taking medication, our fifteen year old has declared that she “is her own person” and will no longer cooperate taking her medication. Unfortunately, this has caused her to get into a little bit of 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 baby has been, unfortunately, diagnosed with ADHD. This is only one of many issues that my youngest has to deal with. While he battles cerebral palsy, he also has sensory integrations disorder. This makes dealing with his ADHD a real challenge. His body will literally reject anything that smells out of the ordinary or any textures in his mouth. After exploring many different kinds of meds, we discovered that this was the reason he wasn’t able to take his meds. Due to this setback, we have set up a counseling fund!
I exhausted all avenues! Buried in ice cream, sprinkled over the top of his waffles, placed on the back of the tongue, it was not going down. He was not able to swallow, and could still taste the bitterness. It was at this point that we investigated the patch.
Unfortunately it was only available in stimulant form, which made things dicey in that when the medication wore off he exhibited a destructive streak and would be sobbing. This was not getting us anywhere.
I did hear from a naturopath that caffeine offsets the symptoms, so for 6 months this lucky kiddo got Diet Pepsi for lunch. (No sugar which would negate the purpose!) Saw little difference here. And I was nearing the end of my rope and the doctor said we may need to research other things that might be taking place instead of ADHD.
I took matters in my own hands and googled “my son has ADHD and can’t take his meds” and I was surprised to see all the natural ADHD remedies that came up! Thinking that I might be on to something, I started doing some research which led me to Focus Formula from Native Remedies. I was happy to see that is made out of all natural ingredients, but not so eager to read that it would take a minimum of three weeks to see any results. Well, that didn’t stop me.
The results? I just ordered my second bottle. My baby went from earning zero points for staying on task at school to earning 11 (the maximum). After 3 months, he is able to self start on his homework, stay focused on it, earn an average of 8 points at school and his frustration level is way down. The best thing – drops instead of pills. We put it in root beer, and he slugs it right down! He knows it’s in there, he even does it himself!
I am overjoyed and my son is much happier. It has made such a difference in our boy. If your having the same issues that we were with ‘pill swallowing’ than you might consider what we did. Look into some natural ADHD remedies like Focus Formula, it made all the difference for our baby.
