Homeopathy as an Alternative Medicine For ADHD

Article by R.D. Hawkins

Homeopathy as an alternative medicine for ADHD has been growing in popularity in recent years due to its effectiveness, safety, and non addictive qualities. While one can’t argue that conventional medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are effective they also come with a number of negatives including the potential of long term addiction.

The combination of addictive characteristics combined with the fact they improve mental performance in almost all people has led to these types of medications gaining an ominous place on the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) list of drugs which have the highest abuse potential out of all the drugs that have a medical use. Some estimates have college campus abuse at one out of every five students. It seems making sure you take your medication ( Ritalin and Adderall) may have more to do with improving test scores than with managing ADHD symptoms.

Homeopathy as an alternative medicine for ADHD on the other hand does not share in these addictive qualities. There also have been a number of recent small studies pitting homeopathic alternative treatment for ADHD in various forms against a placebo. The finding confirmed that a significantly fewer number of ADHD symptoms were observed. Homeopathic alternative medicine for ADHD seemed to be particularly effective in the treatment of the primary symptom of inattention/distractibility.

On ingredient found to be particularly helpful was hyoscyamus. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a condition of inattention/distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity/restlessness. in a nutshell it could be described as a problem with self regulation. Hyoscyamus has shown effectiveness in reining in poor self regulation problems such as impulse control and disruptive hyperactive behavior. Hyoscyamus can also be of benefit to people who have a propensity for foolish behavior, who may display facial tics and/or grimaces, and fidgeting of the hands or feet.

While hyoscyamus is perhaps the best of the lot of homeopathic alternative medicine for ADHD it by no means is the only homeopathic ingredient that has show efficacy in the battle against this troubling condition. other examples of safe and effective homeopathic ingredients are verta alb, cina, arsen iod, stramonium, and tuberculinum.

In summary, homeopathic alternative medicine for ADHD is not for everyone. nevertheless, if you have been searching for a non addictive way to manage such problematic symptoms as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Homeopathic natural remedies for ADHD have proven to be a safe and effective alternative to conventional prescription offerings such as Ritalin and Adderall and are particularly effective when combined with other non prescription options.
