Modern science now confirms that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD are deeply connected to Gut Health and toxicity. It is not just "genetic".
At Lucknow Naturopathy Center, we don't drug children to sedate them. We treat the underlying inflammation in their body. When the body heals, the brain functions better. We have seen non-verbal children start speaking and hyperactive children sit calmly after fixing their digestion.
Symptoms We Manage
Behavioral
- Hyperactivity: Cannot sit still for 2 minutes.
- Aggression: Hitting self or others.
- Stimming: Hand flapping, rocking.
Physical (The Root Cause)
- Chronic Constipation: Or diarrhea (Gut dysbiosis).
- Sleep Issues: Difficulty falling asleep.
- Sensory Sensitivity: Hates loud noises or certain textures.
The Gut-Brain Connection
Leaky Gut Syndrome
Inflammation in the gut lining allows toxins and undigested proteins to leak into the blood. These cross the Blood-Brain Barrier and cause brain inflammation.
Heavy Metal Toxicity
Many children with ASD have difficulty excreting heavy metals (Lead, Mercury, Aluminum). These metals accumulate in neural tissue.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Deficiency in Magnesium, Zinc, B6, and Omega-3 fatty acids impairs neurotransmitter function.
Our Holistic Child Protocol
We use gentle, child-friendly therapies:
1. GFCF Diet (Gluten-Free Casein-Free)
The foundation of recovery.
- Eliminate: Wheat, Maida, Milk, Cheese, and Sugar.
- Include: Rice, Millets, Coconut Milk, Ghee, Fruits, and Vegetables.
- Why: This stops the production of 'gluteomorphins' and 'casomorphins' that drug the brain.
2. Therapeutic Massage
Sensory integration.
- Spinal Massage: Calms the central nervous system and reduces hyperactivity.
- Abdominal Massage: Relieves constipation (a huge relief for the child).
3. Mud Therapy
Cooling the system.
- Mud Pack on Stomach: Improves gut flora and digestion.
- Wet Sheet Pack: Used for detoxification through skin.
4. Yoga & Brain Gym
Rewiring the brain.
- Vrikshasana (Tree Pose): Improves balance and concentration.
- Brahmari Pranayama: The vibration calms the mind instantly.
- Super Brain Yoga: Specific squatting exercise that synchronizes left and right brain hemispheres.
