How can homeopathy help Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD and Attention
Deficit Disorder, ADD *
By finding a remedy which match the symptoms, the simillimum.
Homeopathy work on all levels of disease inclusive neurological
and psychiatric disorders.
Worldwide mainstream medical science has a new development in the increased use of
"psycho-stimulants" such as Rutalin e.d.** This drug is therefore
relative partly similar
(hyperactivity) to the
disease, and partly antipathic (=
opposite: attention deficit); empiric
and theoretical homeopathy has learned that a macro "drug" with
these properties may be able to ameliorate symptoms for a while but will in
the end aggravate the disease because the undiluted drug is partly similar
to the disease and attacks the disease in its core instead of curing it (and
is therefore potentially dangerous: bounce effect. Coffee is a stimulant and
has similar properties. When used too much it is addictive and gives a bounce
effect of either hyperactivity or destruction of the neurological system). In homeopathy it is
by the way popular to offer complex
remedies against ADD and ADHD.
Don't be mislead, the symptoms are hard to treat, need a good homeopath and take mostly a lot of patience
depending on age, severity and period of the illness. Remedies which could
help ADHD or ADD are for example Rhus Toxicodendron (Rhus-t.) or Mercury
(Merc.), but those are really two different types; individuality for each
patient is a necessity.
