When you are asked to list medicines for ADHD, how many can you name? I can name a few people like Concerta, Strattera and Ritalin, but I cannot do this without squeezing at the thought of the side effects that cause.
Medicines for ADD ADHD have been under attack for a very long time. A controversial topic and a matter of debate, ADHD medications are known for the side effects they cause. Summarizing the list of drugs for ADHD, you get the following:
Insomnia
• Anorexia
• sleep change
• growth retardation
• Anxiety
• Nervousness
• Stomach upset
More serious consequences associated with the use of prescription drugs for ADHD, more specifically, stimulants:
• Cardiovascular problems
• Psychiatric disorder
• Risk of abuse
With the threats that these medicines pose to children, many began to consider natural medicines, such as herbal and homeopathic remedies.
Others prefer psychotherapy, dietary management, and even yoga as a form of alternative treatment for ADHD.
Homeopathic remedies are one of the alternative therapies that are quickly gaining popularity. Homeopathic treatment is based on the concept that “how trees are similar” or that symptoms can be cured by substances that cause the same symptoms.
Homeopathic remedies are diluted and the more diluted, the more effective they are. Ingredients used in remedies come from nature, such as mushrooms, mold and plants. Homeopathic remedies are safe, effective and non-addictive.
Some of the stronger ingredients used to control ADHD symptoms, such as hyperactivity, destructive behavior, and inattention, include Hyoscyamus niger, Cina, and Cornus circinatus.
It is clear that alternatives are now available, which reduces the need for medication and reduces the number of people suffering from side effects.
It is always better to go natural and choose what is not harmful. Love yourself, love your child and choose natural when it is possible.
