By observing the symptoms of ADHD, Ayurveda identifies that the Vata dosha – which is linked with the nervous system and brain – is out of balance. To reverse this imbalance, the qualities of the other doshas – Pitta and Kapha – are needed. This is accomplished in several ways. Come and discover: • The critical role diet and digestion play in managing ADHD • Environmental toxins that contribute to symptoms • Importance of a detox regimen • Supplements that can augment nutrition • Techniques to reduce stress and overstimulation About our presenter: Dr. Somesh N.
