Persons with ADHD tend to have lower serotonin and dopamine levels. Many people experiment with changes in their diet in order to counter-effect these deficiencies to some extent. Experts recommend a complex-carb diet to boost serotonin for improved mood, sleep, and appetite.  Skip simple carbs (sugars, honey, jelly, candy, soda, etc.) ) that cause a temporary serotonin spike.  Instead, choose complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, green vegetables, starchy vegetables, and beans.  These all act as an energy “time-release.” Eat a protein-rich diet that includes several proteins over the course of the day to keep dopamine levels high. This will help you improve your focus. Proteins include meat, fish, and nuts, as well as several foods that double as complex carbs: legumes and beans. ADHD experts recommend avoiding “bad fats” such as those found in trans-fats and fried foods, burgers and pizzas. Instead, choose omega-3 fats from salmon, walnuts, avocados and more. These help promote a healthy brain, and some studies suggest that they may be helpful in reducing negative symptoms of ADHD. These foods may help lower hyperactivity while improving organizational skills. Some studies have suggested that eliminating wheat and dairy, as well as processed foods, sugars, additives and dyes (especially red food coloring), can have a positive impact on behavior in children with ADHD.   While not everyone will be willing or able to go to that length, some experimentation may produce improvements that make a difference.  Although it is a common belief that sugar and food dyes are linked to negative effects in people with ADHD, numerous rigorous studies have not demonstrated a link between these substances and problems with ADHD. However, sugar is a source of empty calories and food dyes are often present in heavily processed foods, so reducing or eliminating these substances will likely improve your overall health. There are several herbs that can help calm and relax you. Some have been proven effective at reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. You can find the following herbs widely in tea form.  Roman chamomile. This herb is well known for its relaxing effects. It can be taken as a tea. However, it may cause an allergic reaction if you are allergic to ragweed. People with certain hormone-related conditions, such as some cancers, should always consult a doctor before using chamomile. Valerian. This herb can help reduce anxiety and restlessness. You can prepare it as a tea or take it as a supplement or tincture. Valerian may interact with sedatives or other medications. Lemon balm. Lemon balm is another calming herb.

Passionflower is often helpful to calm feelings of anxiety. You can take it as a tea, extract, or tincture. You should not use passionflower if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It may also interact with some medications, including MAOIs and anticoagulants. Seafoods, poultry, fortified cereals and other foods with a high zinc content or taking zinc supplements are linked to lower levels of hyperactivity and impulsivity in some studies. Some studies suggest that ginseng and gingko may help people with ADHD by improving their ability to pay attention and focus. These herbs activate cognitive functions in the brain.  Do not give Asian or American ginseng to children without consulting your pediatrician first. You should not use ginseng in children without your doctor's supervision. Do not give ginkgo to children without consulting your pediatrician first, as it is usually not recommended for use in children. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take ginkgo.

This remedy can be purchased as capsules in a natural foods store. John’s wort because it may worsen your symptoms. St. John’s wort is a natural supplement that is often used to naturally treat disorders such as anxiety and depression. There is limited scientific evidence that this supplement may slightly improve the symptoms of ADHD. But many other studies have not reported measurable impact of this supplement to be helpful. St. John's wort may actually worsen symptoms of ADD/ADHD in some people. It can also make major depression or bipolar disorder worse.
