This is amazing!

I have saved this article referring to ADD and ADHD and I just read it again.  I cannot remember who or where i got it from.

ADD= Attention Defecit Disorder- the inability to focus for long periods of time.

ADHD= Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder-The same as the above but also includes an inability to sit or be still for very long.  

My oldest son is ADHD and my second and third sons are ADD.

Diet is a major part of these disorders.  Children diagnosed with these need plenty of fresh wholesome foods.  Also they need the liver cleanse. Processed foods are a nightmare for them.  Mountain Dew is a drug for my oldest son. And when he tries to stop drinking it he goes thorough terrible withdrawals.  He is just coming around to drinking lemon in his water.  So there is hope.

 

I hope this helps!

 

Here it is:

Essential Oils for ADD and ADHD

Better focus, quicker learning, calm & grounding

doTerra Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential oils are one of the most effective alternative treatments for ADD and ADHD.  These oils can cross into the brain and help children and adults.

Because many pure essential oils contain small chemical components, they are among the few molecules, natural or synthetic, that can cross the blood-brain barrier and directly heal the brain. This makes essential oils a powerful tool to treat brain disorders and emotional issues.
A study conducted in 2001 by Dr. Terry Friedman compared the effects of lavender, vetiver, and cedarwood essential oils in improving focus and learning in ADD and ADHD kids. VETIVER was found to be the most effective in observations and brain wave scans - showing improvements in 100% of subjects, Cedarwood was 83% effective & lavender 60%.

How to use these oils:

Lavender - Known as the "universal oil," lavender is good for almost everything. One of its most well-known properties is as a sedative and for calming the body and mind. Rubbing a few drops on a child's feet, shoulders, or chest can help them relax and sleep more easily. But be aware: lavender is one of the most commonly adulterated oils and difficult to find pure (labels can be misleading on this one – doTerra Oils are recommended).
Cedarwood - Considered one of the holy healing oils, cedarwood is often referred to in Christian scriptures. It is high in sesquiterpenes, the chemical compounds which stimulate brain function and mental synergy, and help the body to rewrite old genetic patterns into healthier new ones (useful because ADHD is considered an inherited disorder). This oil can be applied on the forehead and neck, inhaled, and massaged on the brain stem at the base of the skull.
Vetiver - This musky, smoky essential oil is not well-known, but in a few years it might be. Just   the smell of vetiver has an almost magical ability to calm over-energized kids and help them to connect and relate to people in more patient and agreeable ways. Small children may want or need only to smell it, while teenagers and adults can apply the oil gently on the shoulders or neck. Vetiver is especially helpful for those ADD adults and teens who also suffer from depression.
Frankincense - Frankincense was not tested in Dr. Friedman's study but it is often used for mental, emotional and spiritual healing. It has been used in many cases of brain injury, emotional and physical trauma, and with learning difficulties to improve mental function.

I personally use for my daughters (one has ADD and another mild learning disabilities):

 

• 1 drop BALANCE (doTerra's Balance Blend) 1 drop each morning on temples or bottom of feet.  Balance is a grounding blend with Frankincense, Spruce, Rosewood & Blue Tansy

           in a base of Coconut Oil.

 

• 1 drop LAVENDER each morning on bottom of foot (doTerra) for focus and calm.

 

• 1 drop VETIVER each morning and as needed.

doTerra is currently looking for a high quality CEDARWOOD Essential Oil – if they don't test absolutely Pure – doTerra won't use them – I talked with the corporate office and they are currently looking for a Cedarwood that meets their standards – I can't wait!
