QUESTION: My daughter has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. What can I do Holistically?

First of all, ADD is not a Ritalin deficiency. In my opinion, it is a reaction to the environment. 

Homeopathic practitioners are trained to repertorize (take a history of clients complaints, lifestyle and eating habits) the client--symptoms to form an educated conclusion as to the right remedy for the presenting symptoms. 

Yet, according to Dr. Iqbal, my teacher, there are remedies that just do what they do and that is the topic of todays article. Very much like keeping certain medicines in the medicine cabinet such as; aspirin, cough syrup, band-aids, etc. which are specific for certain situations.

For centuries Europeans and Asians viewed disease as a dysfunction of the whole body, or a whole system. Cures were aimed at bringing the body back into balance so that it could heal itself. 

Although traditional thought on disease also included superstition, ignorance of anatomy, and in some places unhealthy beliefs about hygiene, much that was useful about medicine was known and practiced.

In both East and West, disease was often cured with plants that were either proven or intuited to have an effect on a particular system in the body that was injured or unbalanced. In Europe, the “Five Humors” theory was developed. In the near east, the “Three Dosha Ayurvedic” system was the basis of medicine. In the Far East, the “Five Elements” theory was practiced.
