There are a many different natural ADHD remedies saying that they are all beneficial for ADHD and with such bad press on the side effects of traditional drug treatment like Ritalin it is understandable why parents and carers who may not have a thorough background in holistic therapies and natural remedies may not know where to start to make choices.
The first thing to take into account is that ADHD is not a simple condition and there is no one underlying cause. There are a number of approaches though that will ease the behavioural symptoms which create the condition. Because of that , there is no one single, simple solution, answer or magic pill to make it go away. Any system that is put in place has to be a support system designed for the individual child and not the other way round, where children are made to fit into a system be that medical or educational.
This is the background to the HET Stepping Stone programme
The first question to be addressed is do natural remedies work?
Well, the whole point of any kind of natural approach to ADHD has to be to define what the behaviours are that need to be turned around. Traditionally for ADHD that includes, hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattentiveness. These are diverse symptoms and we need to look at how, when, where and why? This will vary from child to child and we must undertake an initial profile which is usually different at home to how it is at school. Without benchmarking this process we won’t be able to see any progress.
With that in place, we can set goals and targets and agree some consistent boundaries. This overcomes the objections that outsiders make on the problem being down to parenting skills. The advantages are that we can introduce reward incentives here with the goals to enable children to enjoy success and be more accountable for the outcomes of their behaviour.
The second level is that these children are unable to appropriately manage their emotions in many situations. This is addressed through taking the Bach Flower remedies produced by a famous Harley Street doctor – completely safe and natural and now instantly available for ADHD as sound frequencies.

We then need to look at diet and nutrition, which is known to have a big impact on ADHD symptoms. Followed by appropriate exercise regimes, which we know will produce feel good factor endorphins which help to calm things down.
Next is the core issue formulas, again natural essences with no side effects, which are focused on clearing cellular memories of trauma or misperception which can be triggered from associated experiences.
Then negative patterns, busting the life script scenarios which run like computer programmes to release the stored core issues triggered by the emotional responses to situations. These play out with others around the ADHD child as dynamics and this is what can become so stressful for all concerned.
Then we need to look at relaxing all the senses and we know that anyone with ADHD finds it hard to relax. This includes colour therapy which is known to have a physical and psychological effect. 10 minutes playing under UV light increases the serotonin levels and children are then more focused for hours afterwards. Natural essences of colour including UV and IR have been found to have a beneficial supportive effect.
Also aromatherapy both oils and massage have a beneficial effect. Auricular candle therapy is excellent in calming down effects
Often it is said that ADHD is hereditary and therefore nothing can be done about it. Whilst there is evidence to show that there are traits that run in families with this condition, we know that genetic tendencies are not an automatic outcome and that genes have to be switched on in some way to become prevalent. By supporting cellular structure with amino acid codes and high quality protein. It is known to help support healthy cell development.
Finally it is well known that children with ADHD do not succeed academically in crowded busy classroom environments and in sitting down doing prolonged tasks in closed environments. These children succeed in open environments out of doors in nature where they are motivated to learn and not overwhelmed with sensory input. This is where an effective alternative curriculum of Eco therapy for family based projects is so important for a child’s success, confidence and self esteem.
These stepping stones are what pave the way to success with a natural remedies and approaches to ADHD.
