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.
Because of his medication, my eleven year old son is now able to comfortably enjoy sleepovers. He is not worried about the nighttime bed-wetting and is able to awaken as he is not in such a deep sleep.
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 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.
