Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Dear Ray In July the NIMH ran a seminar looking at ADHD. Alison Morton presented the main part, as she had researched this as part of her Masters dissertation. The remainder of the seminar was taken up with the presentation of case studies by a couple of practiotners looking at ADHD in energetic terms. seminar was titled The Energetic Child. I believ Alison is also on this forum and may well answer you separately. The seminar notes are available from the NIMH office. If you contact me off list I can send you details - NIMH office address etc. best wishes Stannard laura@... ======================================== Message Received: Oct 25 2006, 10:47 AM From: " raynoronha " To: ukherbal-list Cc: Subject: ADHD herbs Hi, I am a member of the URHP and new to this forum. I am an experienced practitioner of Ayurveda and Nadi Vigyan (nadis and chakras) and currently work in Australia for an integrated healthcare centre. I am investigating treatments for ADHD. I have only ever given Brahmi successfully to a 5 year old child who previously only had signs of inattention and his symptoms disappeared in 4 weeks with Brahmi.Recently there seems to be more parents concerned about ADHD. I think the answer to ADHD therapy may lie in a combination of a herb plus yoga/pranayama therapy. However, when we look at the symptoms of ADHD i.e. hyperactivity, inattention, lack of concentration, impulsivity, from my experience many children present some of these symptoms but not all. So I was after ideas what herbs would be given for each symptom i.e.hyperactivity, inattention, lack of concentration, impulsivity. The herbalist I work with has no experience of treating ADHD. Naturally diet has to be regulated, but is there any research evidence that aromatherapy or specific herbs may help? Thanks in advance Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hi Alison, Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I am currently working in Australia, I will purchase the CD when I return to the UK in the New Year. However, I am after some advice regarding ADHD. I appreciate that every child is different, but can Lemon balm, Chamomile be used before bedtime and Hawthorn at other times to calm the nervous system be used - and at what dosage. Basically I have been getting emails from ADHD parents in India asking for a safe herbal drink that will help ADHD and the kids will like i.e. not bitters. Also besides Omega-3 supplements, is there anything else that should be prescribed? Cheers Ray > Hi Ray > > I think there may have been some problems with my hotmail account, as it > seems some of the emails I've sent haven't got through.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi Ray Well, I guess you're plugging the message about needing to see a practitioner for a proper assessment? There must be hundreds of Ayurvedic practitioners in India who would be only too willing to help! And Ayurveda seems to be a wonderful framework within which to assess the differences between children with ADHD; as you rightly say, they're all different and need treating appropriately. I personally wouldn't get into recommending any supplements other than O-3's when you can't see the child, but as far as teas go; , Chamomilla,Tilia, Sambucus, , Glycyrrhiza spring to mind, based on the experiences related in my paper. Lots of ADHD children seem to be hot, so also anything cooling might help. Don't want to go further, as the individual assessment/treatment has to be the main advice. Cheers Alison > >Reply-To: ukherbal-list >To: ukherbal-list >Subject: Re: ADHD herbs >Date: Sat, 04 Nov 2006 08:49:38 -0000 > > >Hi Alison, > >Thank you for your reply. > >Unfortunately, I am currently working in Australia, I will purchase >the CD when I return to the UK in the New Year. > >However, I am after some advice regarding ADHD. >I appreciate that every child is different, but can Lemon balm, >Chamomile be used before bedtime and Hawthorn at other times to calm >the nervous system be used - and at what dosage. >Basically I have been getting emails from ADHD parents in India >asking for a safe herbal drink that will help ADHD and the kids will >like i.e. not bitters. > >Also besides Omega-3 supplements, is there anything else that should >be prescribed? > >Cheers >Ray > > > > > Hi Ray > > > > I think there may have been some problems with my hotmail account, >as it > > seems some of the emails I've sent haven't got through.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Alison, Thanks for replying. There was a published study done this year by someone from University of South Australia regarding Omega-3, suggesting it was better than Ritalin. Do you or anyone else in the forum know of the actual reference paper? Finally, is there anyone in the UK that works with NLP treatment of ADHD?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I have tried Scut for my own daughter who has symptoms of ADHD due to attachment disorder as a result of early neglect and subsequent adoption by us. I also give withania, rosa and valerian and currently some lavandula. I think ADHD needs broad thinking around the subject and a multi pronged approach - ie behaviour strategies, chiropractic, diet, exercise as well as herbal approach. I am interested in the aetiology of ADHD, and if anyone can get permission to let me see anonymised case history notes - specifically early history, pre and post partum and early experiences - I am interested in researching this subject. If anyone is able to help me out then please send attachments to my email, not via the group. janeherbal@....

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Dear Ray, University of South Australia Omega-3 Research: Couldn¹t find a reference cited but the following links go to the PhD researcher involved, Sinn, and the story of her research. www.unisa.edu.au/researcher/issue/2006January/story4.asp www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/staff/homepage.asp?Name=.Sinn (the latter has further links) Reports on her work mention the Durham Schools Trial, conducted for Durham LEA by Dr. Madeleine Portwood. (www.durhamtrial.org/). As far as I can make out, the two researchers used the same supplement, marketed by a UK company (Eye Q, sold by Equazen). Another two researchers, Drs. Basant Puri and A. J. , conducted a clinical trial in 2000 to back up their assertion that, physiologically speaking, essential fatty acids ought to help ADHD. Puri wrote up their findings in a book (Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: a natural way to treat ADHD, London, Hammersmith Press, 2005). After conducting several trials Puri has come to the conclusion that the most useful supplements: 1. are a combination of EPA and virgin Evening Primrose oil (containing triterpenes) 2. contain no DHA at all he showed that DHA actually made children worse. Like Alison I¹ve found and Chamomile (and Scut) to be helpful as well.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hi Sorry, rather belatedly catching up with emails. Of the herbalists I interviewed about ADHD, several of them used Scut.lat, especially with those assessed as being hot, constitutionally. As in my experience many ADHD children are pretty anxious a lot of the time, I think it would be very appropriate.
