ADD / ADHD Using Essential Oils - Alternative Healing

ADD and ADHD have been two issues that have increased in number effected over the last 30 years.

I attribute much of that increase to what we have done to our guts over the past 30 years. There have been many studies written about ADD & ADHD. What I believe is the bottom line on much of the issue is lack of ability to absorb nutrients.

So how do we go about re-gaining that ability?

First is re-establish healthy gut flora.

If you have a child who is ADD or ADHD, look at the history of the health of your child AND the history of the health of the parents.

Were there pharmaceuticals taken by any of them that would destroy the flora? Antibiotics being the number one offender. When we take antibiotics we are not told to take a probiotic after, and for at least 9 months, if not a year.

My recommendation for re-establishing healthy gut flora is to drink 1 - 2 bottles of kombucha a day. I would start slow, because it can cause your gut to detox, and 'clean house'.

I will be posting a video soon on how I make my own Kombucha. It is really VERY easy to do and much more cost effective.

Second Establish a good Living Essential Oils System

Terry Friedmann, MD, completed pioneering studies using essential oils to combat ADD/ADHD and achieved clinically significant results in 60 days. Researchers postulate that essential oils mitigate ADD/ADHD through their stimulation on the limbic system of the brain.

ADD/ADHD is thought to be caused by mineral deficiencies due to the lack of ability to absorb. Once the absorption issue is taken care of via good gut flora, then minerals can then once again be taken up in the body's system.
