How to treat ADHD naturally

Source: http://www.dryaun.com/

I'm going to preface this blog post by stating that I am NOT a physician nor do I care to be one. I am passionate about holistic nutrition and using natural supplements and remedies to combat illnesses and diseases. I do not prescribe any medication, but I take full advantage of the freedom of having my opinions based on research. 

On that note...here we go.

Many people have asked for my advice on how to treat ADHD naturally to avoid medications such as Ritalin or Adderall for their children.

In the past decade, the diagnosis for ADHD/ADD for school-aged children has risen tremendously. According to the Journal of Pediatrics, child prescriptions for ADHD drugs jumped 50% from 2002 to 2012.

My supplements list

I often get asked what supplements I use. I don't get paid to promote a brand (although I wish I did), but I use the products that I've researched and think are best for my body based on ingredients, methods of manufacturing and quality.

Here's a quick rundown of what I purchase for my husband and I:

• Multivitamin for her: Garden of Life Raw One for Women
• Multivitamin for him: New Chapter Every Man (he likes to take more than one a day)
• Fish Oil: New Chapter WholeMega (they use the ENTIRE salmon, naturally providing Omega 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9)
• Calcium: New Chapter Bone Strength (This calcium is by far the best. It is from a plant source and not limestone, which is found the most common source)
• Joint Care: Garden of Life Wobenzym or Zyflammend (I vary between both, but it's easier for me to take Zyflammend because it doesn't need to be on an empty stomach)
