I sent my 8-year-old daughter to my ayurvedic physican yesterday. Instead of drugging her up, I decided to try aryuveda. She is vata pitta, and her vata way out of control, that quintessential ADD symptom. And it's about proper nutrition that she's not getting. She's always been a minimal eater Feeding her brain will help her concentrate. So today we are going to load up on food types for her: warm, cooked foods, Fish oil gummy bears, no sugar, eat good breakfasts, and also sesame oil with brahmi oil self-massage before a bath. She is excited. So am I. I urge everybody with an ADD child to not rush to drugs, but try ayurveda - for yourself too - as I swear by it that being in balance through proper nutrition and yoga calms all ADD or depression symptoms I've had. It grounds you in the body, and you slow down and can concentrate. So take your ADD child to an ayurvedic physican. It's worth it. I will be posting the progress we have here!
