Children and adults with ADD manifest their symptoms differently, depending on their unique constitutions, but with the diagnosis of ADD comes the usually prescribed drugs, Ritalin or Dexedrine. As long as medications are continued, the symptoms are somewhat controlled. Few patients ever outgrow their need for drug therapy and once a child starts taking stimulants, they often need to continue for five or ten years, sometimes for life. There is an alternative to drug therapy. Homeopathy is a highly individualized approach, which takes into account all the unique differences between people and prescribes an individualized homeopathic remedy, based on the unique symptoms of the child or adult.
Most children can potentially benefit from homeopathic treatment.
It is through bringing the whole person into balance that the symptoms of ADD be improved. The goal of homeopathy is to bring deep and long-lasting balance into a person's life and health. When the person becomes balanced, the body's chemistry will automatically normalize as part of the overall healing process. If your child is diagnosed with ADD, please consider a more natural and permanent approach. If you want to investigate this further, I recommend the book Ritalin Free by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, which goes into much detail about ADD and the role of homeopathy.
