ADHD treated successfully with aromatherapy

11% of U.S. Children are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).  ADHD is characterized by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that interferes with daily living and learning.  Recent research has shown that aromatherapy may be a potential helpful tool for children with ADHD.  The essential oil vetiver shows the most promise as it showed changes in brain activity when inhaled.  Children who inhaled vetiver three times day for 30 days showed improved brain wave patterns and behavior and did better in school.  When the oil is inhaled, microdroplets are carried to an area of the brain that is the center for reason, emotion and smell.  The droplets also make their way to the lungs where they enter the circulatory system.  Brain activity improvements were measured via EEG (electro-encephalograph) scans. 

We opened a new chiropractic office with chiropractor, Dr. JC Carr.  Our new location is in Egg Harbor Township, on Fire rd.  Just couple of minutes from Tilton Rd. in Northfield and a 15 minute drive from our Smithville / Galloway location
