HYPERACTIVE KIDS AND HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT
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.

Hi Sir,
My son 7.5 years old and I think he is suffering from ADHD.
He doesn’t pay attention while studying. Makes careless mistakes in exams. He forgot very quickly and concentration level is very low. He has trouble staying focused and easily distracted while doing his homework or other tasks. He does not to listen when spoken in school and at home. He has difficulty remembering things and following instructions. He is not organised in his daily routines. He is very restless and talkative. My child often interferes in the classroom because he has difficulty engaging in quiet activities without disturbing others. In class or at home, my child blurts out answers to questions before they are fully asked.
My child has difficulty waiting patiently to take turns, and frequently butts ahead in lines or grabs toys from playmates. Sometimes my child seems intrusive. He interrupts constantly other people’s activities and conversations.
Kindly suggest.

Hello Doctor, my son is 6 and 1/2 yrs old. 2 yrs ago he was diagnosed with ADHD. He is an intelligent, happy and very affectionate child and learns things very fast. He has been undergoing Occupational Therapy for help in improving his writing, concentration skills and hyperactivity. Although his writing has improved a lot with constant practice and his eating habits have also improved, his concentration and hyperactivity have not. As he will be going to Grade 2 class shortly, I am concerned that this is seriously hampering his studies. When occasionally he is able to concentrate on his work, he does exceptionally well. Otherwise, he is just not able to focus. This becomes frustrating for not only us but him too. Can homeopathy help him in dealing with this? Please help. Thanks.
My 9 yrs son is not diagnosed officially with ADHD or autism, but he is being treated with homeopathy for last 3 years and got helped in certain areas. But his judgement is not developed yet, the issues of impulsive behavior and not following directions and disrespectful behavior towards others including teachers are still on. His hyperactivity is mostly mental. I would like to know your appointment charges and can the appointments be done in phone or skype?
Many thanks,
Bhabadeb Chowdhury

Dear Sir,
My son aged 2 yrs 11 months has been diagnosed 6 months back with ADHD and mild autism . we have employed the service of special instructors who train him in moto skills and recently also started consulting speech therapist for his speech problem.
He is hyperactive , keeps on running continuously when left alone. He Likes music and has improved his moto skills since last 6 months of training. He is generally jovial but gets irritated when held or restrained. He cannot speak yet but mumbles on his own. He is intelligent and understands and has started following instructions especially from his mother who is with him always.
I have realised late that he needs medicine to calm him so that his training can be more successful.
We need your guidance and consultation on how to proceed with his treatment.
