Doctors’ responses

For your 5-year-old child with ADHD and seizures, Ayurveda emphasizes a balanced, calming approach to diet and lifestyle that may support his neurological health. I recommend incorporating **Brahmi** and **Shankhpushpi**, known for enhancing cognitive function and promoting calmness, but these should only be administered under supervision due to his age. Introduce a warm, Vata-pacifying diet focused on grounding foods like root vegetables, ghee, whole grains like rice, and mildly spiced warm milk to nourish his nervous system. Avoid processed and sugary foods, which may aggravate symptoms, and instead focus on nutrient-dense options rich in Omega-3s, such as walnuts and flaxseeds, to support brain health. Structured routines with regular sleep and mealtime schedules are vital, as well as gentle activities like yoga and deep breathing exercises, which can foster calmness and improve focus. However, please work closely with your pediatrician and an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner to carefully monitor and adjust these recommendations in line with his medical needs and current treatment.
