Thinking about giving your child natural ADHD treatments? In this article, you’ll learn more about these remedies and why in many cases, they work much better than drugs.
First, let’s talk about drugs just to show you how smart it is to consider healthier alternatives. Although ADHD drugs do work for certain kids, they make other kids much worse. This is because the side effects can be so disabling. If a child who is already having problems with paying attention, listening, sitting still and getting assignments done in school has to endure side effects like sleeplessness, loss of appetite and moodiness, you can imagine how this can affect his school performance. Visit any ADHD forum and you’ll read countless posts from parents who are concerned that their children are doing worse on prescription drugs.
This is because drugs do not get to the root cause like a good ADHD natural remedy. Instead, they just suppress the symptoms. And in certain kids, they make the symptoms worse.
By contrast, natural remedies contain plant-based ingredients that give the brain the nutrients it needs to calm hyperactivity and create a relaxed focus, so the child can concentrate, listen, learn and stay on task and the brain can begin to heal itself. As the brain corrects its dysfunction with continued use of the natural supplement, eventually, your child may no longer need to take it.
Natural ADHD treatments have no side effects, in fact, you can even safely use them while weaning your child off prescription drugs. They also have no drug interactions, so you will not have to worry about giving your child other medicines when they are also taking remedies. This includes over the counter medicines as well as prescription drugs.
Although the natural way is an effective choice, knowing what to look for in good quality supplement is important because they are not all created equal. First, good quality supplements have been FDA-approved for safety. The manufacturer should offer a one-year, money back guarantee on their products. Although it is unlikely that you will be returning supplements that work, this shows you a company that believes in and stands behind their products because they have done the research and spent the time, money and energy to create a quality formulation.
The best, most effective natural ADHD treatments contain clinically proven ingredients like Hyocyamus, Verta Alb, Tuberculinum and Arsen Iod. These ingredients have been proven to balance mood, calm the nervous system, increase focus and reduce impulsivity. Best of all, they are completely safe. Although they may take a bit longer to build up in the system, as a parent, it’s a huge relief to know that you do not have to worry about short or long term side effects and that you’re giving your child an ADHD natural remedy that is actually feeding and nourishing the brain, rather than just temporarily suppressing symptoms.
As a parent, it is crucial to have a long term vision for your child’s health and well-being. Providing your child with love, good food and quality supplements is one of the best ways to achieve this. This is why supplements are so effective: they support your vision for a healthy, happy child.
