Top Herbal Remedies for Hyperactive Children By Dr. Christopher Hobbs, Ph.D., L.Ac, A.H.G. of Rainbow Light:


  1. Red Clover Blossom -- an excellent choice in any tea blend, as it is considered a "blood purifier" as well as a gentle nerve relaxant. Would facilitate in cleansing the blood of toxins/chemicals, while calming and is recommended used over a long period of time. Use as a tea--1 tsp/cup of water; steep 20 minutes, drink 1/2 cup morning and evening.
  2. Chamomile -- safe, effective, gentle and good-tasting relaxant for children.
  3. Lime Blossom -- stronger but still a safe, relaxing herb.
  4. Valerian -- a central nervous system relaxant; excellent as a tea or fresh plant liquid or powdered extract, one of the strongest natural herbal sedatives, but non-narcotic and not habit-forming.
  5. Catnip -- another mild sleep aid and relaxing herb, safe for children.
  6. California Poppy -- a safe sedative for children; recommended for hyperactivity and sleeplessness.
  7. Wild Lettuce -- safe and mild sleep aid and sedative; usually mixed with other herbs.
  8. Lemon Balm -- lemon-tasting herb which has a mild relaxing effect.
  9. Avena (wild oats) -- Hyperactivity is a form of stress, so children should also be treated with a nervine tonic and nutritive, as well as vitamin C and B-complex vitamins.
*Note: Parents can benefit from the above mentioned as well, as they are also under a fair amount of stress with a hyperactive child.
