ADHD: Symptoms, Causes, and Natural Homeopathic Treatments

What is ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition where the brain works differently than neurotypical brains.
(REF NHS https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/adhd-adults)

It is a neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects the frontal cortex – the area responsible for “Executive Function.” Executive Function is a set of mental skills that helps you plan, concentrate, follow and remember instructions, multi-task and adapt to new situations. In some cases, this part of the brain may be underdeveloped or may have experienced trauma. While often diagnosed in childhood, it affects many adults, leading to difficulties with concentration, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

If you are wondering if you have undiagnosed ADHD, you might notice struggles with Executive Function, including:

  • Working memory issues: Forgetting names or why you entered a room.
  • Difficulty following instructions or completing tasks.
  • Disorganization: Losing things, poor time management, and difficulty prioritizing.
  • Emotional regulation: Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or sensitive to rejection.
  • Internal Restlessness: While you may not run around, your mind might feel like it never stops.

These challenges can affect your daily work, relationships, and self-esteem. However, a diagnosis is not a label to confine you; it is a key to understanding yourself. There are many ways to support your mental growth, including holistic treatment for ADHD.

 

Recognizing ADHD Symptoms in Women

ADHD is often stereotyped as “naughty boy” behaviour, meaning ADHD in women is frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed. Women often present with inattentive symptoms rather than physical hyperactivity.

You may notice if you have ADHD, that you struggle in one or more of these areas.  ADHD can affect your everyday life. It can affect your daily tasks, work, relationships, emotional well-being. You might struggle with time management, have difficulty concentrating, forget things, feel restless and challenged by social situations. This can lead to stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.

From this, you can see that being diagnosed with ADHD is significant. However, it does not confine you, and there are many things that can be done to support your mental growth and development, including calming ADHD with Homeopathy.  Having the diagnosis is the key to making progress and you can have an holistic approach to ADHD treatment.

 

Can you treat ADHD with Holistic Therapy?

The short answer? Yes! Many people seek natural remedies for ADHD to work alongside conventional medication or to avoid the side effects of it. With holistic ADHD treatments you can naturally treat it, using homeopathy, herbal remedies and other alternative therapies.

A holistic approach to ADHD looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms.

  • Nutrition: Reducing inflammatory foods like gluten, sugar, and artificial colourings can help clear dysregulation in the frontal cortex.
  • Neurofeedback: This helps address imbalanced brainwave patterns.
  • Therapy: Talk therapy or EMDR can help build skills to manage daily life (“pills don’t give you skills”).
  • Supplementation: Focused on brain development and stress management.

 OK, so let’s take a natural holistic approach to ADHD Treatment. Diving a little deeper, what are some specific options?

 

Top Herbal Remedies for ADHD

When exploring natural ways to treat ADHD, herbal medicine is a popular choice. While everyone reacts differently, studies suggest certain herbs can support focus and calm: (REF WebMD https://www.webmd.com/add-adhd/ss/slideshow-adhd-natural-remedies)

  • Ginkgo Biloba: Often linked to improving memory and mental sharpness.
  • Ginseng: A natural remedy linked to alleviating hyperactivity in the brain.
  • Chamomile: Known for producing a calming effect on both the mind and body.

These are just a few natural ADHD remedies. There are many more! Of course, as everyone reacts differently, what’s best for you may not work best for someone else.

 

How Homeopathy Helps ADHD?

As a homeopath, my approach is focused on calming ADHD with homeopathy. Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, and effective system of medicine that treats the root cause of the imbalance rather than just suppressing symptoms.

Here are a few common homeopathic remedies for ADHD:

  • Natrum Sulphuricum: This is often my top choice if the onset of symptoms is linked to a past head injury or trauma.
  • Coffea Cruda: Excellent for the “wired but tired” feeling. It helps calm a hyperactive mind, combats insomnia, and aids in racing thoughts.
  • Tarentula Hispanica: A great remedy for physical restlessness and impulsivity, acting on the nervous system to soothe agitation
