DEAR DR. GOTT: I am a marriage and family therapist and treat many children with ADHD. You mentioned herbal remedies for this condition. Please tell me where to get more information on this.
DEAR READER: As you are aware, herbals, OTCs and prescription medications are not always effective. However, ginkgo biloba, lemon balm, valerian, hawthorn, lobelia, oat straw and German chamomile are but a few of the herbals thought to assist with ADHD. An important consideration is the avoidance of sugar, because it may result in aggressive and restless behavior in some children.
