What are the herbs for ADD?
Gotu Kola - This herb grows in India, South Africa, and China and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Gotu Kola has come on strong in recent years with consumers due to its active ingredient, triterpene. The compound triterpene helps with the production of collagen, in the building of strong blood vessels, and in producing more neurotransmitters. Gotu Kola has many other valuable uses for the human body, including increasing the tone of connective tissues, enhancing blood flow to the brain, maintaining the flexibility of veins and capillaries, and reducing scarring that occur with burns. Gotu Kola also has been shown to increase mental function and improve memory and concentration, enhancing the ability of the brain to process and store information and has been used to restore memory loss in elderly people suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. As an herb for add, Gotu Kola should be part of any formula being used as alternatives for ritalin. American Ginseng: American Ginseng, and the other varieties of Ginseng have been prized for thousands of years for their ability to improve mental function, alertness, memory, and concentration. In the Far East, wars have been won and lost solely over the rights to control this valuable herb. This is why Ginseng is one of the great herbs for ADD. Red Clover: This is one of my favorite herbs as it has so many uses! The Red Clover herb, also known as the purple clover has been used to treat heart conditions, respiratory infections and congestion. The herb also has use in reducing water retention, to treat coughs, and to improve wound healing. Research is being conducted now to document red clover’s ability to treat heart disease and diabetes, as it seems to possess very potent circulation enhancing properties. This is another great herb for add. |

Pycnogenol: Pycnogenol is derived from the bark of the European coastal pine and has been demonstrated to dramatically relieve symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder and hyperactivity in European children.
Pycnogenol is another very powerful antioxidant that reduces free radical damage done to the body’s cells and acts as an overall cell detoxifier. Any remedy using herbs for ADD should include this potent compound. |
