Brahmi for ADHD - #3300

Anonymous

My 10-year-old son was diagnosed with ADHD a year ago. He struggles a lot with focus, following instructions, and staying calm. We’ve been trying behavioral therapy and a few lifestyle changes, but someone suggested Brahmi for ADHD, and I’m curious to know if it’s really effective. I’ve read that Brahmi is used for improving memory and concentration, but is it safe for kids? If yes, how should it be given—like as a syrup, powder, or tablet? I’m worried about giving the wrong dose or form because I don’t want to risk any side effects. Does it work well alongside the therapies we’re already doing, or would it replace them? Also, how long does it take to notice improvements with Brahmi for ADHD symptoms? Are there specific signs I should watch for, like better focus in school or reduced hyperactivity? I’d also like to know if it has any calming effects because his restlessness can be really exhausting for both of us. Has anyone here used Brahmi for ADHD, especially in children? If yes, what was your experience? Was it worth it, and how did you use it?

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) is an Ayurvedic herb commonly used to improve cognitive function, memory, and concentration, making it a potential option for addressing ADHD symptoms in children. It is generally considered safe for children when used correctly, but the dosage and form (syrup, powder, or tablet) should be appropriate for their age and weight. For a 10-year-old, the dosage would typically be lower than for adults, and it's important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized recommendations. Brahmi may help with focus and mental clarity, and its calming properties could also aid in reducing restlessness and anxiety, which are often linked with ADHD. Improvements are usually gradual, so it might take several weeks to notice significant changes, like better focus in school or a reduction in hyperactivity. Brahmi can be used alongside other therapies like behavioral therapy, but it is not meant to replace them. It is also essential to monitor any side effects or interactions with other treatments your son is undergoing. Many parents report positive outcomes, but as with any herbal remedy, it's crucial to start with a low dose and adjust as needed based on your child's response.
