What treatment is available for ADHD?

Treatment depends on a child's exact diagnosis. It should take into account any specific difficulties and those strengths that may aid their improvement.

Role of Homoeopathy in ADHD

Homoeopathy is based on the principle of Similia similibus curanter i.e. like cures like. Homeopathy is a Holistic method of treatment where the whole body is taken into consideration, not just the diseased part or organ.

Homoeopaths take the case history of the person. This is known as case-taking. They enquire into the person’s mental, emotional and physical make-up, or the constitution of the person. During disease, there is ‘constitutional imbalance’, which is expressed in the form of signs and symptoms.

Homoeopathic medicines correct this ‘constitutional imbalance’ in the person and restore his body to health as before. This is known as ‘Constitutional treatment’ and is the preferred choice of treatment among homoeopaths.

Homoeopathy has very good scope in the treatment of ADHD, both in children and adults. Homoeopathy decreases complaints like hyper-activity and inattention. Homoeopathy arrests the disease condition in the early stages and does not allow further progress of the disease.

Homoeopathy treats ADHD like any other illness and gives constitutional treatment. Homoeopathy gives natural, effective remedies for treatment of ADHD. Homoeopathy does not suppress the symptoms like restlessness, etc. instead it rolls them out from their constitution.

Homoeopathy individualizes every child by their individual features and personal preferences. Under homoeopathic treatment, children will experience improvement in concentration, improved behaviour, and enhanced academic performance. Also, they will be less restless, less impulsive and less violent in their day-to-day life.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a behavioral condition in which children/adults have difficulties paying attention and focusing on tasks. Synaptol is an ADHD Homeopathy medicine that contains a microscopic amount of many 'tropical' and sub-tropical natural ingredients. One thing is certain, there is no potential for abuse with a natural ADHD supplement for focus and improved attention span.

Food additives are also associated with symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The Alcat tests can be utilized for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder conditions.

Role of Homoeopathy in Tendinitis

Homoeopathy is a form a treatment that was founded in the 18th century by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It is based upon the principle of ‘similia similibus curanter’ or ‘like cures like’.

Homoeopathy it is beneficial in treating many diseases, both acute and chronic due to which it is gaining immense popularity in today’s world. Today, homoeopathy is useful in treating sports injuries, along with physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Homoeopathy treats tendonitis by treating the causes responsible for it. Common causes for tendonitis include injuries, falls, over use of joints, etc. In the mean time, complaints like joint pain, tenderness, stiffness, etc. get relieved. Homoeopathic treatment is required along with R.I.C.E. therapy - Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation to recover faster.

In some cases, a constitutional medicine covering the mental, emotional and physical symptoms is given. It helps in speedy recovery of the sports person. Homoeopathy may also prevent surgery in many cases. Homoeopathic treatment can be taken along with rehabilitation therapy, physiotherapy, etc.

Some homeopathic remedies are very specific and act on the underlying causes quickly. That is because homeopathy does not treat symptoms, per se. Rather, it activates the body to heal itself and remove the disease. Homeopathy activates the body’s inner abilities to heal and restore.

When the right homoeopathic medicine is given to the patient, it stimulates the body. This medicinal action is known as the ‘primary action’. In return, the body makes an effort to remove the disease; this is known as ‘secondary action’. The homoeopathic medicines act upon the PNIE or Psycho-Neuro-Immune- Endocrine level and treat the patient.

In long-standing cases, a constitutional remedy which covers the mental, emotional and physical make-up of the patient may be required. Constitutional treatment offers long-lasting effective treatment and helps the sports person to recover faster in injuries.
