My son is going to be 6 in April and he is very hyper. I mean VERY. He has never been diagnosed w/ ADHD but I'm sure he's got it. I've been researching on the internet about natural remedies I can try w/ him. I'm looking for something to calm him down alittle bit. Especially around bedtime, but also during the day too. I've read that some essential oils can help w/ that. Like lavender and cedar-wood, and a few others. Does anyone have any advice for me? Has anyone used these & have they worked? I went to the nature store today & with the advice of an employee I had bought Nelsons tension & stress. She said after he takes a couple I should notice a difference within 5 minutes. Well- All day I kept repeating the doses as recommended and it didn't do 1 thing. I didn't notice anything different in his behavior.
Also, how do you apply the oils? I read alot of people saying only use a little, but what happens if you would use too much? Is it even possible to overdose from it?
Essential oils are very strong & must be used with caution. I have also read in natural health magazines that lavender oil can mess with the endocrine system of young males & can lead to the overgrowth of their mammary glands. I would not use it! There are many other calming herbs out there to try. A change in diet can help tremendously. It should be low in refined carbohydrates, have plenty of essential fatty acids (fish oil, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, & flaxseed), supplement with phosphatidylserine. It is common that children with ADHD have food sensitivites. I would have him checked & eliminate any foods he is sensitive to. Artificial color & food additives have been shown to affect behavior. Of course, research everything & check with your doctor about diet changes. Best Wishes!

PERSUASIVE SPEECH
I have altered my goals towards seeing my occupational therapist.
It is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder affecting about 3-5% of the world’s population under the age of 19. It typically presents itself during childhood, and is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity, as well as forgetfulness, poor impulse control or impulsivity, and distractibility. ADHD is currently considered to be a persistent and chronic condition for which no medical cure is available, although medication can be prescribed. ADHD is most commonly diagnosed in children and, over the past decade, has been increasingly diagnosed in adults. About 60% of children diagnosed with ADHD retain the condition as adults. It appears to be highly heritable, although one-fifth of all cases are estimated to be caused from trauma or toxic exposure. Methods of treatment usually involve some combination of medications, behavior modifications, life style changes, and counseling. The scientific consensus in the field, and the consensus of the national health institutes of the world, is that ADHD is a disorder which impairs functioning, and that many adverse life outcomes are associated with ADHD. It has been frequently said by a minority of news sources, social critics, certain religions, and individual medical professionals, to be a controversial disorder. These criticisms fall outside of majority or minority viewpoint and question its causes, its treatment, and even the existence of ADHD.
