Anas Wajahat, I understand how challenging it can be to support a child with ADHD. Since your son is undergoing therapy, combining it with natural methods, diet, and Ayurvedic remedies can help improve his brain development, concentration, and focus.
1. Diet for Brain Development
• Healthy Fats – Include walnuts, soaked almonds, ghee, and coconut oil, as they nourish the brain.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Flaxseeds, chia seeds, and fish (if non-veg) help in brain function.
• Iron & Zinc-Rich Foods – Pumpkin seeds, spinach, and dates support mental clarity.
• Avoid Sugar & Processed Foods – They worsen hyperactivity and attention issues.
• Hydration – Ensure he drinks enough water and avoids artificial drinks.
• Ashwagandha –1/4tsp with warm milk at night Helps reduce anxiety and emotional instability.
• Golden Milk (Turmeric + Milk) – Reduces inflammation and supports the nervous system.
3. Activities & Lifestyle Changes
• Structured Routine – ADHD kids do well with predictable schedules.
• Physical Activity – Encourage sports like swimming or cycling to channel energy positively.
• Mindfulness & Breathing Exercises – Simple deep breathing and chanting “OM” can calm hyperactivity.
• Puzzles & Memory Games – Help improve focus gradually.
4. Home Remedies for Focus
• 1 soaked almond + 1/4tsp Brahmi powder with milk in the morning – Boosts brain function.
• Mix 1 tsp honey with 1 pinch of cinnamon – Enhances memory and alertness.
• Oil Massage (With Brahmi or Coconut Oil) – Helps relax nerves and improve concentration.
5. Emotional Support
• Avoid comparisons – ADHD kids have unique talents and need positive reinforcement.
• Praise efforts, not results – This builds confidence.
• Give clear instructions – Short, simple directions help him stay focused.
Since he is already in therapy, adding these natural remedies and lifestyle changes can greatly support his progress. Let me know if you need a customized Ayurvedic treatment plan based on his specific behavior and needs. You’re doing great as a parent—just be patient and consistent!

It’s understandable to feel concerned about your son. In Ayurveda, ADHD links to Vata imbalance. Vata governs the nervous system. Excess Vata leads to hyperactivity, poor focus, and emotional instability. Ayurvedic care calms the mind and supports brain development. Herbs like Brahmi, Shankhpushpi, and Ashwagandha help memory and concentration. Ghee, almonds, and walnuts nourish the brain. Avoid processed foods and sugars. Abhyanga with warm sesame oil soothes Vata. Yoga and breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom improve focus. Shirodhara therapy calms the nervous system. Continue his medical treatments. Ayurvedic support can help. With patience and care, positive changes are possible. But it is important to get an in depth assessment done by an Ayurvedic paediatrician to understand your options.

Hi Anas,
I understand your concern deeply. Can you tell me about your son's daily routine, including his diet, sleep patterns, and physical activity? Does he show any signs of hyperactivity or restlessness, or does he experience any digestive issues? In Ayurveda, we focus on balancing the mind and body, often using herbs and therapies to support brain health and concentration.

Ayurveda views ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) as an imbalance primarily of Vata dosha, which governs the nervous system and mental functions.
Medications-
1. Kalyankar ghritham 1 tsp followed by warmwater in morning empty stomach
2. Saraswatharistham with gold 10ml mix with equal quantity of water and take after breakfast and dinner
3. Brahmi ghritham 1 tsp followed by warmwater at bed time
Diet (Ahara) for ADHD
1. Favor warm, nourishing, and grounding foods to balance Vata.
2. Include ghee (clarified butter), nuts, seeds, whole grains, and dairy to support brain function.
3. Herbal teas with Brahmi, Ashwagandha, or Shankhpushpi can help calm the mind.
4. Reduce processed foods, sugar, and artificial additives, as they can aggravate hyperactivity.
2. Lifestyle (Vihara) Changes
1. Regular Routine: A consistent daily schedule helps in stabilizing Vata.
2. Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Daily massage with warm sesame or lakshadi oil calms the nervous system. Head massage with ksheerbala thailam half hour before bath
3. Adequate Sleep: Ensuring 8–10 hours of restful sleep is crucial for mental balance.
4. Yoga & Pranayama: Gentle yoga poses like Balasana (Child’s Pose) and deep breathing techniques (Anulom Vilom) improve focus and calmness.it may be difficult for a child to do yoga and pranayam
Ayurvedic panchakarma
There are many kerala panchakarma therapies like shirodhara , pizhichil abhynangam , thalapodizchil which helps to manage ADHD more effectively
Advised to visit near by Ayurvedic center for panchakarma procedures
