For ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Ayurveda focuses on balancing the mind, improving concentration, and calming the nervous system. The root causes in Ayurveda are often linked to Vata imbalance, which affects the mind's stability, focus, and memory.
Ayurvedic Approach:
Herbal Remedies:
Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): Known for enhancing memory, focus, and cognitive function. It helps calm Vata and improve mental clarity.
Ashwagandha: An adaptogen that helps reduce stress and anxiety, which can contribute to focus issues.
Shankhapushpi: This herb is excellent for improving mental clarity and reducing hyperactivity.
Vacha (Acorus calamus): Promotes mental clarity, sharpness, and concentration.
Gotu Kola: Helps improve memory and reduces mental fatigue.
Dietary Recommendations:
Eat grounding, nourishing foods like whole grains, root vegetables, and healthy fats (e.g., ghee, nuts).
Avoid excess sugar, caffeine, and processed foods, which can aggravate Vata and lead to erratic behavior.
Incorporate foods that calm the mind, such as warm, cooked foods and herbal teas (e.g., chamomile, peppermint).
Lifestyle Practices:
Daily routine: A structured daily routine helps balance Vata, reduce mental restlessness, and improve focus.
Yoga and Meditation: Pranayama (breathing exercises), mindfulness meditation, and specific yoga postures like Padmasana and Trataka (concentration exercises) help calm the mind and improve focus.
Sleep hygiene: Ensure you have a regular sleep schedule to support mental clarity.
Ayurvedic Oil Treatments:
Shirodhara (oil treatment for the head) can be beneficial for calming the mind and improving focus.
Nasya (nasal administration of medicated oils) can help clear mental fog and improve concentration.
Important Considerations:
Consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan.
Since you have stopped psychiatric medication, itâs important to monitor your symptoms and ensure holistic support for your mental health.
Ayurveda offers a gentle, holistic approach, but patience and consistency are key for best results.

Hey Tejo,
Dealing with ADHD can definitely be challenging, especially with attention deficiency and forgetfulness. You're not alone in this, and Ayurveda, with its holistic approach, can offer support.
First off, our focus would be on balancing the vata dosha, often associated with such symptoms. ADHD can be linked to an aggravated vata, which governs movement, and when imbalanced, it can lead to issues like restlessness or trouble concentrating. Let's talk through a couple of recommendations!
A useful herb is Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri) - known for boosting memory and cognition. Try taking Brahmi in a powdered form, about a half-teaspoon twice a day, with warm water or ghee. Another herb called Shankhapushpi can be paired with Brahmi. It's great for calming the mind and enhancing focus. Same dosage work well with this one too.
Have a consistent routine is super important. Try wake up at the same time every day, do some stretching or yoga, and consider adding a short meditation practice for calming the mind. Pranayama (breathing exercises) like Anulom Vilom can also help steady the mind.
Diet matters! Include juicy fruits, well-cooked grains, and warm legumes in your diet. Avoid very dry, light, too spicy foods they're aggravating to vata. Warm, cooked meals with a bit of healthy fat like ghee can keep vata grounded.
Adequate sleep is crucial, sticking to a regular sleep schedule helps stabilize the mind. Wind down 1 hour before bed, maybe sip on warm chamomile tea.
Meanwhile, don't hesitate reach out to a trained practitioner. Personalized guidance would tailor these suggestions specifically for your constitution and current imbalances.
Always thankful for this wisdom Ayurveda brings! Sometimes it's not immediate magic but a gradual nourishing change. đż
