Just say no to childhood drugs!
Just like with most issues that a person can have, ADHD can be controlled using certain herbs and other natural ways. There really is no need to medicate a child out of his mind just because he seems to have more energy than the next child. And a child that is below or going through the adolescent years of his life is not supposed to have the concentration of a full grown adult. In fact are we not taught that a child’s brain is still developing up to even in the early twenties?
Just another reason NOT to poison your child’s body with the medication called Ritalin and its counter parts. A developing brain needs all natural stuff not man made chemicals and poisons. The side effects alone from this childhood stealing drug can be seen all over the place and in most of America’s children today. From the most over weight children in the world to the angriest, we have successfully bred the world’s worst child population, all because we as parents have forgotten how to raise our children.
All over the world other countries are thriving but the US has the most medicated children of the planet. Partly because we have become to dependant on man made drugs and partly because we have become so lazy that we do not even want to deal with an energetic child. The following list is just a partial list of the herbs that have proven themselves in the fight of this so called disability. Although the true disability is our inability to raise children as they are suppose to be.
Chinese thorowax root
Skullcap root
Pinellia rhizome
Oriental white ginseng root
Calcined oyster shell
Dragon bone
Cinnamon twig
Poria sclerotium
Red jujube fruit
Hematite
Gardenia fruit
This list above is a list of Chinese Herbs that have proven themselves in treating ADHD. You can get them online and at a very good herbal store near you. Taken as a tea the herbs show their effects almost immediately, taken as an extract in capsule form is another popular method and as a tincture taken in 15-30 drops in your favorite beverage. Using herbs are way more effective than medication and have already proven their worth. And any child that is old enough to be given Ritalin is old enough to use herbs to help them to relax and concentrate better. As a parent it is your responsibility to take care of your little ones the best you can, and although there are some children that could benefit from herbal treatments most are simply being a child and don’t need anything to change them.
