ADHD

We highly recommend the Brain Booster set on our Yoga House Call DVD. We designed that set specifically for adhd. We recommend you do it with him. The Sa Ta Na Ma meditation in this segment will be especially beneficial.

It\'s important to be a detective and try and discover if there are any allergies or environmental irritants which may be exacerbating this condition. EFA\'s, essential fatty acids. have shown to be very important for healthy brain functioning.

Here are some more things to consider: Many experts are recommending that eliminating sugar from the diet as well as limiting electro-magnetic pollution (cell phones, high tension wires, applicances, etc.) can make a big difference. Heavy metals in the body, especially mercury and lead are often implicated in adhd. Consider getting ceramic fillings instead of silver, and if silver fillings already exist speak to a holistic dentist about getting them removed.

To a large extent a short attention span and impulsive behavior are part of growing up and can be made less pronounced by the kind of lifestyle adjustments we\'ve cited.

There are new topical supplements in the form of creams with nutrients that improve brain function. These include: glutathione, acetyl L-carnitine, biopteran, r-lipoic acid, theanine, phosphatidly serine, and other compounds, all derived from natural substances. There are holistic doctors who would know about the latest breakthroughs.

We know that all of this may seem overwhelming, but there are often many pieces to the puzzle re: syndromes such as adhd.
