ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Ayurveda attributes these symptoms primarily to an aggravated Vata dosha, disrupting the mind-body equilibrium. Treatment includes specific Panchakarma therapies like Nasya (nasal medication) and Shirodhara (medicated oil dripping on the forehead) to soothe the nervous system. Herbal formulations such as Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, and Mandukaparni improve cognition, memory, and focus. Dietary adjustments to nourish the brain and reduce hyperactivity are recommended, emphasizing sattvic (pure and calming) foods. Yoga, pranayama, and meditation further aid in enhancing attention, emotional regulation, and overall mental clarity in children with ADHD.
