My brother has ADHD and takes meds. One of the side effects is loss of appetite. He just might not be eating as much. So just remind him to eat more

I would recommend possibly looking at other treatments for ADHD.


Overview: ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurobehavioral disorder that causes an inability to focus and listen to direction. In older literature the term ADD or “ADD with hyperactivity” has been used for this same disorder.

“Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder that affects 3-5 percent of all American children. It interferes with a person's ability to stay on a task and to exercise age-appropriate inhibition (cognitive alone or both cognitive and behavioral). Some of the warning signs of ADHD include failure to listen to instructions, inability to organize oneself and school work, fidgeting with hands and feet, talking too much, leaving projects, chores and homework unfinished, and having trouble paying attention to and responding to details. … ADHD is usually diagnosed in childhood, although the condition can continue into the adult years.”

Application: The early writers on use of essential oils (Valnet, Tisserand, Gassefosse) came before our modern era where this type of disorder has become so common. For that reason there is no information from them on the use of oils. More recent essential oils users have documented their successes in using oils to address the symptoms often experienced by those with ADHD. Summarized below are some of their recommendations:

· For frustration, impatience, and anger use oils and blends that calm. Balance, Serenity, lavender, ylang ylang. Applying to the feet, back of the neck, behind the knees, and diffusion are all suggested.

· For improved concentration the oil vetiver. Again on the feet or, for school children that need help during the school day, a necklace with a pendant that will absorb the oil will make it available all day.

· Some, with autism, are particularly sensitive to smell and may resist the use of oils. Applying to the feet, even after they are asleep, can circumvent this problem.

· Also go to the “Procedures” or “Especially for Kids” tabs to read the experiences of others directly. There are good suggestions on “touch” and support (some are very moving and helpful).

Get facts about ADHD and related drugs. He should stop taking those drugs. Not only they are ineffective but very dangerous.
