Promising New Herbal Help for
Kids with ADHD
ADHD is surprisingly common, and it can be very disruptive to your child’s life. A
just published study has discovered promising new herbal help.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder
that typically starts in childhood. Kids with ADHD struggle with inattention,
hyperactivity and impulsivity. It can make school difficult and make social and
family life challenging.
Amazingly, 7-8% of children aged 3-12 and 5-6% of adolescents have ADHD.
That’s a lot of kids potentially on a lot of medication. A safe, natural alternative
would be very welcome.
There is tons of research on the herb ashwagandha for adults, including for
stress, anxiety insomnia and more. But there has not yet been a lot of research
on ashwagandha for kids, including kids with ADHD. This new study set out to
address that.
The double-blind study included 58 children between the ages of 6 and 12 who
had mild ADHD. Half of the kids were given a placebo; half were given 150mg of
ashwagandha root extract standardized to approximately 5% withanolides twice
a day. The study lasted for 8 weeks.
Ashwagandha’s results were impressive. On the ADHD Rating Scale, scores for
inattention failed to improve at all on placebo while they improved significantly on
ashwagandha. The difference between the results was significant. The same was
true for scores of hyperactivity. Scores improved only in the ashwagandha group
and were significant. Total ADHD scores were significantly more improved in the
ashwagandha group.
Next the researchers looked at the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive
Function-2 (BRIEF-2) scale. Many of the behavioural features of ADHD, including
inattention, impulsiveness, memory deficits and difficulty at school are related to
executive function. They found that behaviour regulation improved only in the
ashwagandha group and that the difference was significant. Emotion regulation

also improved significantly in the ashwagandha group and not at all on the
placebo, and, once again, the difference was significant.
Finally, sleep disturbances and anxiety both improved significantly more with
ashwagandha. On the PROMIS scale total score, which, in addition to sleep and
anxiety, includes quality of life, improvement with ashwagandha was significantly
better.
Importantly when considering treatments for children, the ashwagandha was
safe. The ashwagandha was as safe as the placebo: there were no clinically
relevant hematological or biochemical changes or changes in laboratory markers,
including liver, renal, hematological, and lipid status.
This study shows that ashwagandha safely and significantly improves ADHD
symptoms, executive function, sleep, anxiety and quality of life in children with
mild ADHD.

Black Seed Could Provide
Cardiovascular Benefits to
Diabetic and Overweight People.
If you are diabetic or overweight, black seed could help you to prevent
cardiovascular disease.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Type 2
diabetes and obesity provide pathways to cardiovascular disease.
Nigella sativa, or black seed, is, among other powers, antioxidant, anti-diabetic
and anti-inflammatory. So, could it help people who are at risk to reduce the risk
of cardiovascular disease?
This meta-analysis of 31 controlled studies included 2,145 people who have type
2 diabetes or who are overweight.
Black seed did not help everything. But it helped a lot!
It did not help waist circumference, insulin or insulin resistance. But it helped
everything else.
When it came to helping obesity, black seed significantly reduced weight and
body mass index.
When it came to diabetes, it significantly decreased fasting blood sugar and
HbA1c. That black seed can help HbA1c is of special importance because
HbA1c is the most important marker of long term blood sugar and diabetes
control. Every 1% drop in HbA1c reduces the risk of the cardiovascular
complications of diabetes by 37%.
When it came to blood pressure, black seed significantly reduced both systolic
and diastolic blood pressure.

These results show that black seed modestly, but significantly, improves a variety
of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in people who are at higher risk
because they are diabetic or overweight, including weight, BMI, blood sugar,
long-term glucose control and blood pressure. So, black seed could be an
important addition to an overall lifestyle and supplement program for preventing
cardiovascular disease.

New Evidence that Ginger
Reduces Blood Pressure
It’s hard to believe, but it is estimated that over a billion people have high blood
pressure. It might also be hard to believe, but something as safe, simple and
inexpensive as ginger supplements might help that.
High blood pressure increases the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and
kidney disease. Ginger might be able to help in a number of ways, including
being anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and being able to dilate blood vessels.
This systematic review and meta-analysis set out to measure the effect of ginger
on blood pressure by pooling the results of 12 controlled studies. The results are
exciting.
Ginger reduced systolic blood pressure by a significant 5.03 mmHg. It worked
even better on people who actually had high blood pressure, bringing it down by
6.88 mmHg. Ginger worked best when taken at doses of 2000 mg a day or more.
When it comes to diastolic blood pressure, ginger brought about significant
reductions of 2.03 mmHg. When people who had high blood pressure took it, the
reduction swelled to 4.01 mmHg. Again, doses of 2,000mg or more were more
effective.
This meta-analysis suggests that ginger could help people manage high blood
pressure as part of their program.

Combo of Traditional Liver
Herbs Improves Liver Enzymes
The modern world has confronted our livers with unexpected and unprecedented
challenges. Traditional herbs may help provide the answer.
This new study combined four traditional liver herbs: milk thistle, dandelion,
turmeric and ginger.
Compared to placebo, improvements in all four liver enzymes, ALT, AST, ALP,
and GGT were significantly greater when the herbs were given to people with
normal liver function. Liver fibrosis (APRI) also improved significantly more on the
herbs, as did cholesterol and markers of inflammation.
Once again, modern science is validating traditional herbs for modern problems.

Are You Stressed Out?
Adaptogens to the Rescue!
Who doesn’t need help with stress? This new study supports the traditional role
of adaptogenic herbs for stress.
A new double-blind study compared 2 adaptogens to placebo for stress. The first
was a combo of rhodiola, schisandra and holy basil, and the second was
ashwagandha.
Both worked. Both adaptogens reduced stress significantly better than placebo.
They were both also significantly better than placebo for sleep quality, restorative
sleep and anxiety.
