Ayurveda helps treat ADHD without the requirement of any sedation, by using cooling and calming herbs.

Although the term Asperger’s syndrome was quite common before 2013, the term is actually no longer used by medical professionals. It has since been reclassified as level 1 autism spectrum disorder by the DSM-5 diagnostic manual. Still, Asperger’s syndrome may be used informally — in fact, autism communities use it more often than level 1 spectrum disorder. A child with level 1 spectrum disorder will have above-average intelligence and strong verbal skills but will experience challenges with social communication. In general, a child with level 1 autism spectrum disorder will display the following symptoms:

• Inflexibility in thought and behavior
• Challenges in switching between activities
• Executive functioning problems
• The inability to express feelings in their speech, or change their pitch to fit their immediate environment

In Ayurveda, Asperger’s syndrome is known as Piitaj Unmaad and herbal supplements can proficiently curb these behavioral outbursts.
