Schools Coming, Time To Start Your Childs Homeopathic Remedy for ADHD

As the end of summer draws closer, so does the beginning of a new school year. Taking the time now to prepare your child for school can make the transition out of summer smooth for both of you.

One of the simplest ways to shift into your child’s school-time routine is to establish a holistic approach to controlling hyperactivity and improving concentration early.

Often parents wait until problems arise to begin the regimen of Focus Formula™ and BrightSpark™ but to make the most of these natural remedies we recommend starting at least 3 weeks prior to classes – when school starts it’s already too late – and using the complete solution for the best results.

What is the Complete Solution to Focus & Concentration Problems?

For children and teens suffering from learning and concentration difficulties, even routine tasks can become complex challenges, not only for the student but often for the parents, teachers and even classmates. In frustration, parents searching for a solution often look for a “quick fix”, and although it may mask symptoms, it frequently ignores the root of the problem.

Herbal and homeopathic remedies offer a truly complete solution to reducing hyperactivity, improving focus and eliminating concentration problems in students of all ages.

It often takes a combination of natural remedies to obtain the complete solution, like using both a herbal product and homeopathic product in combination. Both natural remedies support a holistic approach to health, as they work in different ways.


BrightSpark + Focus Formula = A Complete Solution

Our safe and proven homeopathic remedy provides children, teens and adults with short-term relief from hyperactivity, distractibility and impulsiveness; while our herbal formula contains active properties for long-term support of attention and concentration.

BrightSpark is a 100% homeopathic remedy best used for acute symptoms to temporarily relieve hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsiveness in children. By addressing issues at a cellular level, BrightSpark helps to calm and facilitate concentration immediately in the short-term.

Focus Formula is a 100% herbal remedy – the properties of the active ingredients in the remedy support the nervous system and the brain, helping to maintain and support concentration and attention, while maintaining normal energy levels in the body in the long-term.

Taking Focus Formula and BrightSpark together will provide students with an excellent combination of natural remedies to support brain health AND remove obstacles to learning, as homeopathic BrightSpark will work on the cause of the problem, while herbs in Focus Formula will work on the symptoms.

Because continued use and consistency are vital to achieve optimum results, it is important to establish a routine before starting classes and then a consistent maintenance program throughout the school year to maintain the best results.


For adults, we highly recommend

Overcoming the Top 5 Challenges of Returning to School with ADD/ADHD

A+ Advances with ADD/ADHD

Overcoming the Top 5 Challenges of Returning to School with ADD/ADHD

For both children and parents contending with attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, the start of the school year can become a source of great stress.
Those with ADD lack the ability to focus and concentrate, which affects daily functioning—therefore leading to difficulty in completing school work, causing trouble with parents and teachers. ADHD symptoms— which include poor concentration, hyperactivity, distractibility, and impulsiveness— also can lead to many of the same issues.

Since the effects of ADD /ADHD are so distressing, if not managed correctly, it can lead to low self-esteem and other behavioral problems in the years to come. These children often find it impossible to fit in, and often the problems continue into adulthood. In order for these children to achieve their full potential, they should receive help, guidance, and understanding from parents, guidance counselors, and the public education system to address learning and concentration difficulties.

Help Begins at Home

As a parent, you have the most control over helping your child succeed. Begin by properly recognizing and diagnosing your child’s condition (with the help of a qualified doctor or specialist) to develop a comprehensive plan for wellness.

Next, help your child settle back into a routine that works for him or her. This includes reinforcing bedtimes, properly administering natural remedies or medicine (which includes consistency and dosage), and encouraging your child to create a study/life balance that includes time both for academics and developing friendships and outside interests. Children with ADD /ADHD often feel discouraged by their progress compared to that of their peers, so positive reinforcement of their efforts can go a long way.

Concern in the Classroom

It is important that you establish your child’s condition with the school so that they receive the proper care and attention, while not becoming a distraction to other students or being left behind. In addition, you can alleviate common test anxiety that may be experienced if your child feels pressured to perform at the same speed and level as other children. By establishing your child’s condition at the start of the school year, you can eliminate potential problems in the future. Discussing with your child the explanation behind rules and expectations in the classroom may also assist him or her in managing behavioral conditions.

Influential Interactions

While learning and concentration difficulties can cause children to feel ostracized, left out, or lacking in abilities compared to their peers, the problem can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. One of the best ways to overcome these feelings is to have your child confront them directly by becoming involved in after-school activities, team sports, or other programs that can establish confidence in your child. If your child expresses hesitation or an underlying problem such as bullying, bring the proper help (guidance counselors, teachers, other parents) in to rectify the situation.

Successful Study Habits

Whether or not a child has ADD /ADHD, establishing habits can be beneficial and rewarding. For those with learning and concentration difficulties, routine may be mandatory. Lists, goal-setting, and proper planning and time management are key for success. Help your child establish outlines based on schedules given by his or her teacher, and monitor their progress until your child feels comfortable managing the tasks on their own.

Managing Mood

Regardless of how well managed your child’s day-to-day activities are, stress is inevitable. Over time, it can lead to child anxiety or child depression. Learning and concentration difficulties cause added pressure to an already full plate, and it is necessary to help your child learn proper stress management techniques. Exercise, rest, nutrition, and relaxation practices are all important aspects to consider when helping him or her establish peace when handling difficult situations.

Natural Remedies

In combination with a healthy lifestyle, natural remedies can help children to maintain healthy consistent behavior, clear focus, and optimum performance by providing a sound platform to support wellness and vitality.

Heart Screening Alert for ADD/ADHD Children

Do you know the risks of using perscription meds?

The American Heart Association issued a recommendation for all children currently taking or diagnosed to begin taking prescription ADD/ADHD medication to receive a thorough cardiovascular screening.

This warning follows last year's FDA ordinance to ADD/ADHD drug manufacturers to include warning labels on drugs regarding the increased risk for cardiac complications among those with underlying heart conditions, as prescription ADD/ADHD stimulants raise both heart rate and blood pressure.

What makes this discovery more disturbing in regards to the risk of heart troubles surrounding these medications is that heart disease often goes undetected in children. The AHA reports suggest that 33 to 42 percent of pediatric heart patients also have ADD/ADHD. From 1999 to 2004, the FDA reported 19 children on prescription ADD/ADHD medicine who died suddenly, and 26 showed signs of heart complications, including stroke, heart attack, pain, and/or heart palpitations.

In addition, Health Canada (the Canadian version of the FDA) banned Adderall, a commonly prescribed drug for ADD/ADHD, after a review of FDA records of self-reported deaths of 12 American children.

ADD/ADHD is the one of the most common disorders among American children, according to the American Heart Association, with more than 2.5 million children in the U.S. currently on prescription medications for ADD/ADHD, and an estimated 4-12% with the condition itself.

Since so many heart conditions in children go undiagnosed as symptoms are rarely exhibited, the importance to screen a child on medication or about to begin treatment is necessary to help prevent against these potential risks. Many children have been properly identified as having heart disease via a thorough exam. The AHA recommends obtaining a detailed patient and family medical history, a physical exam with heart monitoring and blood pressure, and an electrocardiogram (ECG). If the patient and parents agree to continue on with prescription treatment even with these identified risk factors, it is wise to consult a pediatric cardiologist and have the child receive check-ups every few months. While these extra precautions may seem unnecessary, adding a stimulant to an existing heart condition could be deadly.

While some children respond well to prescription ADD/ADHD treatment, it is always best to consider an alternative or holistic approach to a child's health. Especially since the safety factor of these conventional treatments continues to come into question, herbal and homeopathic remedies can provide effective, safe relief without compromising health or risking serious side effects. Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system, helping to encourage normal and efficient concentration and memory functioning.

As most conventional medicines work only to treat symptoms and problems in isolation, natural medicine strives to create holistic balance in the body to support systemic health, relieve ailments, and prevent future disease. Incorporating changes in a number of areas including diet, lifestyle, surroundings and emotional elements can also be very beneficial in promoting overall health.

"I developed BrightSpark™ as a homeopathic remedy to assist me in the treatment of children in my clinical practice. This remedy has been very effective in helping children who presented difficulties in concentration and appropriate classroom behavior due to a tendency to be impulsive, overly stimulated and restless, often along with irritable mood and a resistance to parental discipline. Many of these children went from being the classroom clown to willingly settling down to complete tasks, while still retaining brightness and creativity - to the great relief of parents and teachers alike!" - Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist

"My 9-year-old ... forgets EVERYTHING you tell him. There is a big difference since he has been taking the Triple Complex Brain Tonic™ - the other day he even reminded me about a school meeting. It is such a relief to find something that works..." - Sandra G.

"I have a 6 year old boy ...[who was] on every possible medication and it was to the point where nothing was working and he would be up all night long for 3-4 nights in a row and he was getting in trouble at school daily. I even lost my job due to the amount of phone calls I received from his school. I started him on the Focus Formula™ and BrightSpark™ about 2 weeks ago, and at first thought it was going to be a waste of money but I was wrong. After about 3 days I got a whole new son. He's eating every time I turn around, already gaining weight, has a new personality without the "drugs" and his teacher even called to ask if I put him on something new and said he was completely different in class, almost as if she got a new student!!! This REALLY works, trust me, I'm the most skeptical person out there and here I am writing my very own testimonial!! It's a miracle, I have my son back and he has his "mind" back. Thank you!!!" - April, PA, USA
