How does this happen ADHD and other neurodiverse tendencies can be eased with Bach Flowers?
I was approached by a client in September 2023 who wanted to enquire about how the remedies could help her children. She was distraught and desperate, with both children displaying some quite violent and distressing tendencies.
Her question was as to whether the ADHD and neurodiverse tendencies could be eased with Bach Flower? She was looking for a natural solution!
How Bach Flower remedies can help with ADHD and other neurodiverse situations – in anyone?
Over the past years a lot more attention has been focused on our children experiencing the symptoms of ADHD and other neurodiverse situations, currently I have 17 families with 24 children, enabling them to find a space of relaxation for their children, with the help of the Bach Flower Remedies.
They help with the traumas that most of them have experienced either during mum’s pregnancy or at birth, help to look at how their reactions affect them, and finding the right blend of remedies that can help to find their inner happiness.
What situation can I help with? How can the Bach Flower remedies help with ADHD.
Neurodiversity comes in many formats, and most of my experience has come through working with children experiencing ADHD, Autism and Sensory problems, the resulting impact of these problems, is very often frustration, irritation both with themselves, and others.
There can be some emotional outbursts or complete shutdown, there can be episode of rage, and totally irrational behaviour, sometimes it can be anger or aggression shown towards a sibling or parent.
Equally it can just be a case of noise and tears that need to be let out to simply vent to the world regardless of where they are. There is no rhyme or reason what can occur or where. It can in many cases be difficult to find the trigger points.
What remedies can help these situations?
In many occasions I have seen that there has often been a traumatic situation either during birth or pregnancy and when this has been treated with Star of Bethlehem, the remedy for trauma either past or present, the children show a great relief. They have become more relaxed in their attitude and behaviour.
Mimulus
There is often an element of impatience and frustration displayed and this we can use Impatiens – enabling a sense of calm and quiet to happen.
When we also think about triggering situation, we can look at Elm which is for overwhelm, this is a frequently used word when describing how children feel at times of crisis. .
Cherry Plum is another one which can help with the control of emotions, it can help with the irrational thoughts and actions.
When I think about how the children feel after there has been an outburst – often their feelings are of deep sadness and sometimes guilt if they have lashed out, in these cases we will use Gorse for deep despair and then the Pine for the Guilt.
The Resulting Reactions
The results that I have seen and that my clients have witnessed is that their children have become quieter and calmer, the remedies do not solve all of the problems but there certainly seem to have helped to ease situation. They have told me that their children are more relaxed and less stressed.
Some have moved seamlessly from Junior to Senior School, and yes there maybe a little meltdown but not necessarily daily.
One little boy actually managed to make it to his own birthday party – first time ever!!! And he loved it. He was 7.
I also advocate the use of the Rescue Remedy products as well, to both help on the spur of the moment with the pastilles or Kid’s Rescue Remedy and the night remedy to help with sleep.
