Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Dear Learned People, My son, who is 5, maybe having a case of ADD, where he can not pay attention to any one thing for long. The teachers are concerned that this is coming in the way of his learning. I don't feel comfortable with the alopathic medicines. SO can you please offer any suggestions or guidance? We would appreciate that!! Vani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 It is not clear from your posting but have you done all of the normal diet changes (like taking out coloring, sugar, processed foods... - including whole foods diet...etc...)? Do you immunized? Attend public school? Is this an issue at school and home? Other health concerns? More info would be great to get a clearer view of the situation.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Vani . ADD or ADHD can be treated with longer treatment duration . There r many combinations of herbs which can increase his concentration . But some more points should be known about his body type . Shirodhara , nasya works well by nourishing the Brain cells . Generally Vata aggravation is the main cause of ADD . __________ My son, who is 5, maybe having a case of ADD, where he can not pay attention to any one thing for long.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi Michelle, Thanks for the response. Sorry I didn't provide other details. We have cut down a lot of processed food. He eats a lot of vegetables too. We live in US and he goes to public school so had to have him immunized although we waited until it was almost time for school. He has other issues too. He had hydrocephalus pretty much from birth ( 6 months). We had the surgery done at 18 months. Since then he improved a lot but still can use a lot of help. He is delayed in lot of ways - physical, speech etc. He speaks quite well now, but started speaking at 3. He started walking at 18 months. He loves to eat and is a little over weight. He is very happy and healthy otherwise. He gets PT/OT/Speech therapy at school. Recently this ADD was a observation at school. They believe he can do way better if he can focus more. So, he had a rough road so far but he is a very happy and lovable child!! He is not on any medication. Is there something that we can do to help him?? We would really appreciate that.
