ADHD & HOMEOPATHY

HYPERACTIVE KIDS AND HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT

image

IMAGINE living in a fast-moving kaleidoscope where sounds, images and thoughts are constantly shifting. You feel easily bored but you are helpless in keeping your mind on the tasks you need to complete. Distracted by unimportant sights and sounds, your mind drives you from one thought or activity to the next. Perhaps you are so wrapped up in a college of thoughts and images that you don?t notice someone speaking to you.For many people, this is what it is like to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD patients may be unable to sit still, plan, finish tasks, or be fully aware of what?s going on around them.

It is also important to realise that during certain stages of development, the majority of the children tend to be inattentive, hyperactive or impulsive. Pre-schoolers have a great deal of energy and they run everywhere. But this doesn?t mean that they are hyperactive. Certain diagnostic criteria have to be ascertained before a child is diagnosed with the disorder.

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder is a diagnosis applied to children and adults who consistently display certain characteristic behaviour over a period of time. The most common behaviour falls into two categories: inattention and or hyperactivity/impulsiveness.

According to a study published in The British Homoeopathic Journal in October, 1997, children afflicted with ADHD were given either a homeopathic treatment or a placebo. Those receiving homeopathic medicines showed significantly more improvement than those given placebos. The homoeopathic medicines found most helpful for ADHD were Stramonium, Cina and Hyoscyamus Niger. Stramonium was specifically indicated when children had many fears, or suffered symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. The children who were physically aggressive benefited the most from Cina, and, children with manic or sexualised symptoms responded favourably to Hyoscyamus Niger

Homeopathic prescribing is generally based on idiosyncratic characteristics of an individual but if one medicine is to be favoured for treating a large number of ADHD(attention deficit hyperactive disorder) cases, Tarentula Hispana should be that one.

Hyperactive kids requiring Tarentula often have extreme restlessness and compulsion to hurry. Their legs are in motion, and they have a lot of trouble sitting still. The desire to run about, the urge to dance and to jump up and down are usual for them. Great, fantastic dancing! Loss of all sense of shame. Sudden and violent, or sly and destructive movements ? well, these are clear features of this medicine. One particular symptom that distinguishes Tarentula is its strange relation to music. Violence is a strong feature of the remedy ? violence with anger! His clothing strikes him. He strikes his attendants and best friends!

One more symptom that distinguishes Tarentula is its strange relationship to music. Sometimes music ameliorates all the symptoms and at other times it aggravates them. The child becomes violently excited after listening to music.

Can all hyperactive children be lumped together under one diagnostic category? Can a child, who lashes out in a violent manner at his family members and peers, fit into the same diagnostic group as a sweet gregarious one who simply cannot pay attention to the work in the class? A homoeopath would say that both temperaments are as different as day and night and would prescribe very different medicines. Individualisation stands as a key point in homeopathic treatment.

A word of caution: As this is a deep-seated disorder, any homeopathic intervention should be done under the guidance of a thorough professional.

      Hello Sir;

      I have a 16 year old autistic son who is toilet trained since the age 2/3 years. But, on and off he starts a behavioral problem of wetting his pants only while roaming around. He used to do this when he was 5/6 years old. Then gradually he stopped doing so. After that, this issue never came back until last couple of months. He again started to wet his pant. This only happens when he roams around. However, he never wets bed or never does so while sitting, even if its a long time he had been to toilet. Can you suggest any homeopathic medicine to come out of this behavioral problem?

    Can homeopathic med take the place of psychiatric drugs like Risperidone to overcome an autistic adult tirades cursing other people, people who happen to be very good to him? He/She can also lash at others.
    If so what would you recommend for aggressiveness and outbursts of anger about their lives. These are oppositional difiant people and it may be simply because one is interfering with what they want to do, giving them orders and these are people who cherish their freedom, yet can’t have it.
    thank you.

    Dear Dr. Sharma – I have relied on homeopathic treatment for myself for over 18 years, after emerging from a childhood of considerable neglect and emotional abuse.

    I have a 17 year old son who was diagnosed with ADD only one year ago. He is somewhat oppositional and frequently rude to me, although he does recognise that I am his primary support in life. I am particularly worried about a regular pattern of increasing rudeness and anger when he is offered help or kindness from me. He has many characteristics of physical sensitivity – heightened sense of smell, sensitive skin, childhood asthma and recurring hay fever.

    My son is very intelligent (according to standard IQ testing), musical, good at all sports, but has difficulty maintaining interest in reading, and shows signs of passive aggression at school when asked to participate in anything – even those things that he enjoys. His sense of time and ability to plan for the future – whether for a time one week or one year in the future – are both marginal.

    His father and I are divorced; the father has remarried a younger woman who has severely limited my son’s access to his father, and who treats him as an unwanted guest in their home.

    Despite all this, I believe the major underlying difficulty he has is recognising his own positive qualities and his achievements.

    Can you suggest some possible remedies? Many thanks!
