Autism
If your child is between the ages of two and three years and his development is keeping you worried or he is withdrawn, or avoids social contact even with other children and avoids playing with them; or has no language or is losing language which he had already acquired, or fails to respond to his name, or has poor eye contact, or moves Constantly, or shows patterns of repetitive behavior like rocking, spinning and hand flapping. If some or all of these signs are present in your child please make sure that you consult a developmental specialist and have him evaluated for Autism.
Simply put, Autism is a neurological and developmental disorder that begins early in childhood and lasts throughout a person’s life. This condition is characterised by some degree of impaired social behaviour, communication and language, and a narrow range of interests and activities that are both unique to the individual and carried out.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neuro developmental disorder. This is a condition in which a child finds it hard to concentrate, pay attention, sit still and curb impulsivity, seems forgetful, easily distracted or daydreamy, struggles to sit still during quiet activities, such as mealtimes or during independent work time at school, interrupts people, blurts things out inappropriately and may struggle with nonverbal cues, acts without thinking, argues back frequently or showing signs of annoying behavior like screaming “no” to all your requests and getting verbally abusive on a daily basis etc
ADHD symptoms usually start appearing before the age of 7 years, and may continue to adulthood.
The bad news about ADHD Is that this behavior can spill into adulthood, leading to severe personal and professional problems that can even have social ramifications when they result in reckless driving, alcoholism, gambling, fighting and such ills.
The good news is that with the help of behavior therapy and homeopathic medicines, even the most obnoxious and annoying child can be managed. There are some homeopathic medicines for ADHD to treat aggressive and abusive behavior.
Homeopathic Treatment for Autism and ADHD
Autism and ADHD can look a lot like each other because they share many of the same symptoms like inability to focus on a thing or being impulsive or having a hard time communicating, but in homeopathy, treatment of these 2 conditions are different.
Classical homeopathy has been used with some success to both alleviate mental and physical symptoms, and sometimes to cure individuals with autism or ADHD. Many parents have reported significant improvement in their autistic or ADHD children after the children received homeopathic care.
In classical homeopathy, remedy selection involves addressing the person in totality by looking at the following:
• Behaviors
• Physical Symptoms
• Emotional Symptoms
• Genetic weaknesses (also identified as miasms or constitutions)
• Environmental factors such as vaccinations, drugs or other environmental toxins
If the homeopathy remedy is correctly selected on the totality of symptoms, then improvement may be seen in all areas. Homeopaths try to determine the individual’s susceptibility, for example, Individual weaknesses in the vital force, to both cure and prevent a re-occurrence of symptoms. The first effort should be to take a full case and give the remedy that most closely matches the individual’s expression of their disease. Homeopaths allow individuality of a child to be the driving factor when any treatment option is prescribed.
To crown it all, homeopathic medicines are extremely safe and have no adverse side effects, and since these medicines are administered to children having neurological disorders like Autism and ADHD, then parents or guardians must consider the safety of homeopathic medicines as a vital benefit that needs to be taken into account during this neurological treatment.
Bottom line, homeopathic treatment of either Autism or ADHD have resulted in considerable improvement in cognitive function, social interaction and language development. There has also been a great improvement in muscle strength, a complete resolution on concentrations and anger and a considerable reduction in repetitive and ritualistic behaviours, hyperactivity, restlessness etc
