Can you cure ADD or ADHD naturally? While the technical answer
is No, there are ways to significantly alleviate and even cure
ADD and ADHD symptoms without using prescription medications.
Using natural remedies to cure ADD symptoms can actually allow
you the ability to avoid side effects common to the
pharmaceutical ADHD medications. Many of these natural ADHD
remedies are safe for children and adults alike and can also be
used with pharmaceutical medications if chosen. Below are five
ADHD remedies to alleviate or
even cure ADD and ADHD symptoms.
Dietary Changes: Changes to the diet can significantly improve
symptoms naturally. Successful diet options include a
gluten-free eliminating wheat products, the Feingold diet
eliminating preservatives, additives and/or food colorings and
casein-free diets eliminating dairy products. Additionally,
increasing the intake of amino acids and essential fatty acids
can also help improve symptoms. It is recommended that you keep
a food journal to help you recognize the correlations between
food intake and behavior.
Daily Exercise: An hour daily of intense aerobic activity can
help many people increase their focus and attention. Some people
are better suited for morning activity while others are
naturally geared more toward evening exercise. Experiment to see
which time works best for you.
Omega-3 Supplementation: Omega-3 fatty acids are critical
components for building and boosting the brain. Increasing your
Omega-3 intake is a highly effective ADHD treatment and can
actually cure ADD and ADHD symptoms in some people. Visit a
reputable health food store for brand recommendations. While
fish oil is an abundant source of Omega-3 fatty acids, concerns
about mercury levels might prompt you to use a plant-based
source instead.
Drink Coffee: Caffeine is a stimulant and can actually calm and
relax people with ADHD. Black coffee and green tea are good
sources of caffeine. Avoid drinks that contain artificial
sweeteners or sugar. If you do not like the taste of tea or
coffee, you might consider using caffeine tablets. Some
gifted ADHD people do
exceptionally well by adding caffeine to their regime.
Practice Good Sleep Hygiene: Sleep problems and ADHD often go
together, especially if using a stimulant ADHD medication. There
are medications to help you sleep but natural supplements might
also help. Melatonin is a popular sleep aid to naturally assist
with a restful sleep. Melatonin is considered safe. A magnesium
and calcium blend supplement can also assist with a restful
sleep and can help reduce ADHD symptoms, especially
restlessness.
