Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, affecting academic, behavioral, and social functioning. In Ayurveda, ADHD can be correlated with Manovaha Srotas Dushti, Vata Prakopa, and impairment of Dhi, Dhriti, and Smriti. Etiological factors include improper Ahara, Vihara, and psychological stress, leading to disturbance in mental equilibrium. Ayurvedic management focuses on Vata balancing, cognitive enhancement, and manasik stability through Medhya Rasayana, Panchakarma therapies, and Sattvavajaya Chikitsa. Herbs such as Brahmi, Shankhapushpi, Mandukaparni, and Yashtimadhu are known to improve memory and attention. Therapies like Shirodhara, Abhyanga, and Nasya further help in calming the mind and enhancing concentration. Thus, Ayurveda offers a holistic and integrative approach in the management of ADHD by addressing both physiological and psychological aspects.
