How can Bach flower essences help?
Bach flower remedies can intervene on the aspects that make it difficult for the patient with ADHD: concentration of attention, impulsivity and hyperactivity.
Inattention
People suffering from ADHD cannot concentrate on the tasks they have to complete. They are easily distracted and respond quickly to other stimuli, which causes them to have difficulty remembering the things they have learned. Bach flower essences can help the patient with ADHD to focus on the tasks they have to perform. Impulsivity As a rule, ADHD patients are impulsive and do not tend to think about the consequences of their actions. This makes it difficult for them to orient their behavior in certain directions, which is why they tend to solve things impulsively. Floral essences will help them think before acting and have more control over their behavior and life. Hyperactivity Children with ADHD are constantly very active. They run all day, they can’t sit still and they have to be busy all the time. Due to their restless behavior, children with ADHD become tiresome to the people around them. Calmness and tranquility are what the Bach flower essences will bring, so that everyone’s life will be more pleasant. Frustration Children with ADHD get frustrated very easily. Especially when things are going too slowly for them. Their life moves very fast and any person who gets in their way annoys them. Flower essences can bring tolerance and understanding. It will give them the necessary peace so that they no longer become frustrated by the slowness of other people.
