Children's Remedies: Children have problems too! Many medicines for children contain additives, artificial color and preservatives. Some are addictive and others may cause side effects which end up being worse than the condition that they are supposed to treat. Even some of the more natural, herbal medicines should not be given to children under the age of 12, unless supervised by a health care practitioner! Parents are understandably concerned and may feel confused about what they can and can not give their children. As a Psychologist and as a parent, I have seen a need for safe, effective and healthy natural remedies especially formulated for children's health. Together with Native Remedies, I have spent a lot of time in researching and formulating a range of natural remedies especially for young children. All remedies are herbal or homeopathic and carefully chosen for maximum effect and maximum safety, to safely heal and solve your child's problem - naturally. While herbal remedies help to heal and promote health, homeopathic remedies work by strengthening the child's own body to heal itself. The remedies are non-addictive and presented in child-safe doses. No artificial colors or preservatives are used and manufacturing is in accordance with the highest pharmaceutical standards.

Focus ADHD, proven natural remedy and herbal medications for ADHD.
Tess Thompson

When your child is diagnosed with ADD or ADHD, deciding on the best form of treatment can be an extremely draining and intensely personal process. Recent headlines about dangerous side effects of commonly prescribed drugs such as Ritalin and Concerta can leave parents feeling ashamed of their decision to give their children these medications. It is important to remember that while some children who take these drugs do experience alarming side effects, many are treated effectively. But it is also important to be informed of alternatives, and to know about natural medications and ingredients that have shown to be both highly effective and safe.

In order to make the best decision about treating your child, you need to understand what the most commonly doctor-prescribed drugs are and what they do. 

Stimulants (such as Ritalin, Adderall and Concerta) increase brain activity and tend to increase a child’s alertness and ability to pay attention. The most common side effects of these drugs are mood changes, headaches, irritability, insomnia and loss of appetite. Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received reports that Concerta was producing more serious side effects such as psychosis, hallucinations and suicidal thoughts among some users.

Non-Stimulants, such as Strattera, increase attention and impulse control by monitoring a brain chemical believed to affect those behaviors. Side effects similarly include moodiness, fatigue and decreased appetite.

Anti-depressants, such as Wellbutrin, relieve anxiety and regulate mood by altering brain chemical composition. These drugs are commonly prescribed to children suffering from both ADHD and depression. Side effects can include dizziness, weight loss and suicidal thoughts.

Many natural remedies for ADHD and ADD have proven to be equally effective and can be excellent alternatives to prescribing Ritalin for children as the homeopathic medications do not produce the same disturbing side effects.

When researching natural remedies as a treatment for ADHD, look for ingredients which have been shown to be the most useful. One of these is Centella Asiatica (also called Gotu Kola), a natural ingredient known to reduce anxiety levels and enhance memory and brain function. Recent studies show that it may also help increase blood flow to the brain and improve general circulation.

Another popular ingredient, Green Oats (also called Avena sativa), acts as a nerve tonic whose calming effects grow with time and consistent use.

Panax Ginseng, a Chinese herb, has been shown in studies to strengthen the immune system, reduce stress and fatigue, increase motivation, and normalize body functions.

There are many natural remedies available that focus specifically on child ADHD treatment. Every child is unique and will react uniquely to medication, so trust your instincts and give the remedy time to take effect. As always, consult a doctor if you have questions, but you may find that homeopathic medications provide your child with a safe and natural path to an ADHD symptom-free life.

Child Bedwetting
Bedwetting is a common problem

Bedwetting is common during the pre-school years and children vary in their ability to control their bladders at nighttime. It is quite normal for a child under the age of five to wet the bed occasionally and boys often take longer than girls to become dry at night. 'Accidents' do happen and should be dealt with kindly and sensitively in order to prevent emotional problems. Children who wet their beds should not be punished. 

How should bedwetting be addressed?

There are many possible causes of nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), including medical problems, emotional and family problems and immature bladders. Your GP should be your first port of call if bedwetting is regular and persistent or if a child suddenly starts wetting the bed again. He/she will be able to examine your child and advise you of the appropriate steps to take.
What is Be Dry?

If there are no underlying medical causes, regular use of Be-Dry Bedwetting Formula can calm the anxious child and help to strengthen immature bladders. Be-Dry has been especially formulated by a Clinical Psychologist in accordance with strict homeopathic standards to help your child to achieve bladder control at night time. Say Goodbye to smelly mattresses and wet sheets in the morning and help your child to be more confident!

Testimonials for Be Dry Bedwetting Formula

"My son is 9 years old and he has never had one week when he went through without wetting his bed. We tried everything to help him and we even had him at the doctor who said he was just a late developer. After two weeks of taking Be-Dry he stopped wetting his bed although we would still wake him up at night to go to the bathroom. Now it is three months later. he doesn't take the Be-Dry anymore and we don't wake him up at night - but no wet beds! What a great product!" - Pat l., USA 

"Who would have thought that a natural remedy could stop my daughter from wetting her bed! I was really dreading winter again and all the wet sheets every night - and it used to happen more often when the weather was cold. This stuff really works!" - Darlene, USA

"Our little girl began wetting her bed when she started school and we had wet sheets every morning in the middle of winter. The doctor said that she would grow out of it, but it just did not want to clear up. 'Be-Dry' had her dry within a week and we have never looked back! Thanks for your help!" - Brenda, SA.

Child Depression

Diagnosis of childhood depression

Childhood Depression is not always as easily diagnosed as adult depression and can be masked. Children who are depressed do not always look sad and 'down' all the time, but may have other persistent symptoms that indicate that there is a problem.

If you suspect that your child may be suffering from depression, it is always best to consult a Psychologist for diagnosis and to determine the underlying causes of the depression. Children and especially teenagers who talk about suicide should always be taken seriously.

While this is sometimes a way to get attention or may be something the child learned about at school, it could be serious and it is always better to be safe and have your child properly assessed. 

Never discontinue prescription medication without first consulting your doctor or a health care professional who is experienced in natural medicine.

Testimonials for MindSoothe Jr.

"Thank you for your reply....we have a very long and complex story behind our seven yr. old - the short of it is that in just 24 hrs, we noticed a very positive change in him from both of these products. Unbelievable to both my husband and myself. At this point, in the very initial stages of the products' use, I cannot even begin to explain how pleased we are with the results - you have NO IDEA from whence we came! Thank you more than you'll ever know." - Rebecca G.

"Thank you for recommending MindSoothe Jr. for my 10 year old daughter. We were both going through a difficult time after my divorce and I was literally tearing my hair out with her, yet knowing that she was hurting like I was. I noticed that she was much calmer from the first day. She has been taking MindSoothe for about 6 weeks now and I have my sunny, happy girl back again!" Jeanette, U.S.A.

"My son has ADHD. - he always struggled to complete his work and I think that he became depressed because he was always in trouble. We started him on your Focus remedy which helped but he was still very angry and irritable with everyone. MindSoothe Jr. took away the irritability from Day One and he is now doing very well at school and at home" Malcolm, Durban

"I have a child with autism and the doctors recommended that I put him on prescription anti-depressants. One recommended wellbutrin and the other said that Paxil would work, but I am not in favor because my child is only 6 years old. We have used the MindSoothe Jr. for a few weeks and I just wanted to inform you that he is much less restless and seems calmer than before, making it easier for me and my wife. I also notice that he does not flap his hands around so much and he used to pick at his skin which is much less now too - only when he is very tired." - Danny, CT

Child Sleep Problems
What is Serenite Jr. and how can it help? 

Serenite Jr. is a safe and effective herbal remedy specially formulated by our Clinical Psychologist to calm and relax young children and induce a state of drowsiness.

As a parent, you will know that sleep remedies especially formulated for children are few and far between. In desperation many parents resort to using pain killers, cough medicines, antihistamines and other over the counter medicines. This is very bad for children and can seriously affect their health. These medicines have not been designed to use as sleep aids for children and regular use can result in addiction, nightmares and chronic insomnia.

Tantrums

When should I treat tantrums?

Some tantrums in early childhood are normal and even healthy ways that your child uses to establish independence. 

Properly handled, they should not be a cause for concern. Some children, however, seem to have a very low tolerance for frustration and often resort to yelling and kicking in order to express their feelings and get what they want. 

How can Tantrum Tamer help?

Tantrum Tamer is a safe and soothing homeopathic remedy specially formulated by a Clinical Psychologist to calm angry and oppositional children, and help them to more easily use their developing reasoning skills. 

This remedy is especially effective in children from 3 - 10 years old. Together with consistent discipline, firm guidelines and a loving home environment, regular use of Tantrum Tamer can help your child to overcome the storms of excessive tantrums and bring peace to your household!

"I have a three year old that is forever throwing herself on the ground wherever we are - yelling and screaming because she can't have her way. Michele gave me some pointers to help me handle her and recommended 'Tantrum'. I tried it because I was getting ready to hit my daughter even though I don't believe in it. She loves the taste and takes it without fuss three times a day. I must say she is like a different child and much more manageable!" Cathy, SA, 32 years old. 

"Let me tell you that shopping was a nightmare before I gave my son Tantrum Tamer! If I could avoid taking him with me I would and I would always end up spanking him which I know is wrong, but I tried everything! He takes his Tantrum Tamer every day and he is much calmer and he does not loose his temper so much or hardly ever in fact!" Thank you! - Betty, USA 

"The teachers complained that my daughter wouldn't wait her turn at school and she bullied the other kids and started to scream whenever she wanted a toy. How terrible is that for a mother to hear? Even my neighbor complained about the screaming every day and she has five kids!! Since she has been taking Tantrum Tamer there is such a big improvement. It feels so good to be able to be proud of my child when I fetch her from school!" - Rose Walters

 How has BrightSpark helped others?

My child's pediatrician recommended this as an alternative. I am so glad he did. My 5 year old is a changed person. He is happier with himself and even looking forward to kindergarten............2 months ago he was afraid he would not fit in because as he put it......."I just can't calm down". Really he is a changed kid. If you are having doubts about ordering, rest assured I was too. It is the best thing I could have done for my son. - Mrs Morgan, CT, USA 

I have an 12 yr old son, who has been on BrightSpark for about a year. My son's teacher's and family members have seen a wonderful change. He can follow instructions, has increased his learning skills and best of all has been able to enjoy having close friends. Before it was hard for him to enjoy friendships because of his low self - esteem. But now, he is much happier and outgoing. Native Remedies is Great!!!! - Deanne, PA

I have been very pleased with the product. This is my first reorder, and I don't plan on trying to live without Brightspark! My sweet boy is back! - Michele K. Virginia

"Do you get tired of hearing "THANK YOU" What a godsend this product has been for our family. My 11 yr old grandson went through every medicine for ADD that was on the market. Not one did what it was supposed to do. He was moody, angry, loosing weight, chewing his fingers to the nubs, doing very poorly in school, all of these potential side effects of the chemical medications. We tried brightspark, and in a matter of a few days (I know its supposed to take a few weeks) we noticed a change. He is much more relaxed, concentrating in school and getting better grades and just a pleasant person to be around. My daughter and I can't thank you enough. Our only regret, WE DIDN'T TRY IT SOONER. Thank you again ps we have recommended this to our friends and they tried it for their daughter and are getting excellent results too. You should have ads in every Doctor's office in America!!" - Maggie, USA

How has Focus ADDult for Adult ADD helped others?

"I started with Focus ADDult and immediately felt better. Not trusting my feelings I went to my doctor to get a prescription for Strattera. Strattera not only didn't work any better, but made me feel sick and drugged everyday. I immediately came off of it and started back on my Focus ADDult. I will swear by this stuff! I feel more mentally alert and it is not my imagination. I have also recently purchased Mellowpause and have immediately felt the difference. I highly recommend these products. They work!!!"

"I was diagnosed by the college psychologist with adult ADD three weeks ago. I have been taking 5mg. of Adderall three times a day and then increased to 10mg twice a day and a 5mg tablet as my third dose. I ordered the Adult focus and have been taking it in half doses with the Adderall and have noticed an even clearer outlook and better concentration, and this has just been 4 days." - Kathleen H, USA

"For a long time my 14 year old son struggled in school and it wasn't so much that his grades were bad, it was the fact he would get bored and lazy. He turned his attention towards doing things that disrupted class which rewarded him with being marked down. He began to lose interest in school and didn't care anymore. When he was younger, the counselor had suggested having him tested for ADD and having him put on Ritalin or the equivalent. I told her that when I found a natural alternative, that is what he would take. My son did not have all the symptoms associated with ADD, but had one or two and that was enough for me to start him the focus adult. Well to this day, his teachers are stunned!! Where did this kid come from they ask me? These are the same educators that told me my son was not "A" material. He hasn't received a perfect 4.0 but at least he has been able to add a few A's to his report card. I try to tell the world about what this product has done for me, but my small voice doesn't compare to the big drug companies who continue to poison our children. So my fight goes on to help anyone that will listen to this great testimony of my son. I am so thankful to native remedies and I'm very proud of my son!! Success breeds Success!!!" - Mandy K, USA

"Great Product!!! I'm off Strattera after only 2 weeks, and this works even better!" - Shelley, TX, USA.
ADHD (All Ages)

Healing With Homeopathy

The natural approach 

Rather than prescribing strong and sometimes addictive psychiatric drugs, (Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall) naturopathic approaches to the treatment of ADHD and ADD take a more holistic look at the individual and take into account diet, lifestyle, personality type, surroundings and emotional factors. 

Natural remedies are used to gently and effectively treat the symptoms, while at the same time helping the person to heal and to reach a state of balance and health. 

The natural approach is less harmful and more thorough and has a greater chance of curing the problem altogether, instead of keeping the individual on psychiatric drugs for many years. 

This is very important, especially in the case of children, because of the frequent side effects of prescription drugs and the risk of addiction.

"It really works, I have three boys that were on medications, I saw your web page, said what do have to lose, so glad I dared to do so. My boys ages are 4, 5 and 7. They have had so much success with Focus. They're able to go to school and keep focus much longer... the teachers are so excited over their calmness. The teachers are telling me what ever it is that they are taking, let's hope it continues! They are happy and I am too." - Janice, VA 

"Hi guys, today is probably one of the happiest days of my life. My 8 year old son is on Focus and BrightSpark. Doctors have said he has ADD, frankly I always suspected Aspergers. Anyway he has taken the above 2 for the past 5 days. His teacher left a message on my job and home phone until he finally got me on my cell phone during his lunch break, I was so scared that my child was ill or fell or something else negative. Needless to say he was calling to tell my he was "blown away in the difference" with my child. He was "attentive, involved, sharing, and focused" during class. He then asked my what was going on? I then mentioned your company and the items my son was taking. When I came home, I played the teachers message over and over again. I was so happy I actually started to cry. I have to admit I was not a whole believer in non conventional medicine, but that has certainly changed. I will very happily recommend Native Remedies to everyone. Thank you and God Bless You." - Suzan C., Plainview New York. 

Healing With Homeopathy 

Attention Deficit (ADD) and Hyperactivity (ADHD)

December, The Province newspaper's 4-part investigative report "Drugging Our Children" concluded that "children are a booming market for psychiatric medications such as stimulants, anti-depressants and anti-psychotic drugs."

Stimulant drugs such as Ritalin or Dexedrine, sedatives like Imipramine, and anti-depressant drugs including Prozac, Paxil, and Zoloft, are prescribed for toddlers, young children, and teens, to treat attention and hyperactivity problems, depression, anxiety, anger and aggression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, bed-wetting, and insomnia. According to the report, "babies still young enough to be in diapers are being prescribed powerful adult tranquilizers." Meanwhile, there is widespread debate about whether these drugs cause long-term side-effects, especially when used by young children. Clinical experience has found that neurological disorders such as facial and body tics may occur after the use of these drugs, and cardiac problems resulting in death have been associated with the use of sedatives in young children.

In B.C. in 1999 approximately 12,000 children aged six to fifteen were prescribed the stimulant drugs Ritalin (a chemical cousin of cocaine), or Dexedrine (an amphetamine formerly used as an adult diet drug) for Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). These drugs are intended to help children sit still and pay attention in class. Dexedrine or Ritalin were prescribed to 56 children under age three, although neither of these stimulant drugs is recommended for use in children under six.

The study also found that doctors are prescribing both uppers and downers to thousands of children and teens. If a stimulant such as Ritalin is used during the day, children may have trouble falling asleep, or may experience symptoms such as depression, crying, and moodiness, and anti-depressants are often used to counteract these side-effects.

To homeopathic practitioners, these statistics are frightening. Once children begin taking stimulants, they often need to continue the medication for five to ten years, sometimes for life. This sets up a habit of taking drugs, perhaps fostering addictive tendencies later in life. A recently identified drawback of Ritalin is its popularity as an illicit stimulant drug. The annual survey "Monitoring the Future", by the University of Michigan, warns of a trend concerning Ritalin abuse. From 1993 to 1994 in the United States, 350,000 high school seniors admitted to having abused Ritalin. The side-effects of Ritalin addiction include strokes, hypothermia, hypertension and seizures. Thousands of emergency room admissions and several deaths have been attributed to Ritalin abuse in teens. Drug addiction in North America is a huge problem, and the growing trend to abuse a drug, which is being legally prescribed for nearly two million children, is of great concern.

How effective is Ritalin in young children diagnosed with ADHD? Many children respond positively with varying degrees of success, but over 25% experience no significant improvements. Like many conventional drugs, Ritalin only suppresses the symptoms without changing the underlying condition. Some parents report side-effects including headaches, dizziness, stomach aches, increased heart rate or blood pressure, drowsiness, insomnia, nail-biting, appetite loss, social withdrawal, anxiety, irritability, moodiness, tics and other involuntary movements or sounds.

Homeopathy is safe and effective natural medicine with a high success rate in treating emotional and behavioral disorders in children and teens - including attention deficit, hyperactivity, depression, apathy, anxiety, anger, aggression, defiance, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Rather than suppressing symptoms, homeopathy seeks to create deep, long-term behavioral changes. Homeopathic medicines are made from natural substances, and are so highly diluted that they do not produce side-effects when prescribed by a qualified homeopath.

Homeopathy recognizes that behavioral and learning problems vary from child to child, and no single remedy is suitable for all children. The homeopathic practitioner sees each child as an individual with unique gifts and problems rather than part of a stereotypical syndrome, and he or she will choose the most appropriate remedy for each child's combination of symptoms.

These may include: 

restlessness 
difficulty paying attention and following directions 
poor grades 
difficulty with reading and writing 
sleeplessness 
emotional intensity 
impulsivity 
recklessness 
a need for constant stimulation and attention 
annoying or disruptive behavior 
defiance and tantrums 
jealousy 
violence and/or destructiveness 
difficulty in getting along with other children.


Quoting from Edward H. Chapman, M.D., Dht, President of the American Institute of Homeopathy, and Clinical Instructor at the Harvard University School of Medicine: "For those who need support in their struggle with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder … they can be assured from two hundred years experience using homeopathic medicines that they are safe. Your conventional doctor may be skeptical if you choose to use homeopathy. Don't let that stop you. Seek assistance from well-trained homeopathic providers who are willing to work with you and your doctors."
