Homeopathic Medicine for Autism

Some of the homeopathy medications that could be used to treat autism with no side effect and
non-addicitve nature which are given below:

1. Carcinosin -  Very effective homeopathic medicine is helpful in children affected by

autism who are talented but are obsessive, compulsive, stubborn, and also have sleep-
related issues. These children may also have addictive disorders.
2. Agaricus - This homeo medicine for autism very good for children who may be mentally
and physically awkward and show symptoms like indifference, muttering, talking,
shouting, or singing but not answering to direct calls or questions. Agaricus is a very
effective homeopathic medicine for children who suffer from involuntary jerking when
they are awake.
3. Cuprum Metallicum - This works wonders when the child is being very obsessive,
angry, and is inflexible, tense, and is very aggressive towards their parents. Some of these
children may even exhibit malicious behaviors and are usually averse to touch or being
approached. 
4. Androctonus - A child or a patient who tends to swing wildly from a stable good mood
to a destructive mode can be calmed down or evened out by homeopathic medicine
Androctonus. These children also exhibit behaviors of suspiciousness and quickness to
act on their compulsion. 
5. Helleborus - This is a very effective homeopathy medicine for autism child who are
slow and under active and seems to be depressed most of the time. Some of these
children may also have muscular weakness and Helleborus is very effective in treating
them.

Autism Diet

Foods to Eat

Additive-free, unprocessed foods: Food additives may be problematic for ADHD, it is best to

eat unprocessed nutrient-dense whole foods prepared at home.

Bone broth:Bone broth (ideally made from scratch) provides important amino acids and
minerals that can help heal leaky gut and improve mineral deficiencies.

Poultry: Poultry like organic turkey contains tryptophan, an amino acid, helps produce serotonin
(a calming neurotransmitter). Research has shown that people with autism spectrum disorders
may have decreased “tryptophan metabolism,” which can change brain development,
neuroimmune activity and mitochondrial function. (12)

Foods high in probiotics: Try to add fermented foods into the diet such as kefir, amasai,
sauerkraut or kimchi. These fermented foods contain probiotics, which are essential in helping
repair a leaky gut. Increasingly research is showing that a healthy balance of bacteria in the body
has a major impact on autism. I’m not surprised that “evidence is mounting that intestinal
microbes exacerbate or perhaps even cause some of autism’s symptoms.”(13)
In fact, a study published in 2013 showed that compared to healthy children, those with autism
had “altered levels of several intestinal bacterial species, including fewer Bifidobacterium, a
group known to promote good intestinal health.”  (14)

Wild-caught fish: Omega-3s for ADHD? Yes, a diet high in omega-3s is critical for brain health
and research has shown it can be particularly helpful for someone diagnosed with ASD and
hyperactivity. (15) According to a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials published in
2017 in the journal Neuropyschiatric Disease and Treatment, a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids
may be linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This analysis concludes that supplementation
of omega-3 fatty acids may improve hyperactivity, lethargy and repetitive behavior in children
with autism spectrum disorders. (16)

Foods to Avoid

Gluten: Some parents of children with ASD report worsening symptoms after gluten

consumption, which may indicate sensitivity. It’s a wise idea to have your child tested for food
allergies, especially gluten and cow’s dairy. To see if a gluten-free diet helps, avoid all foods
made with wheat — such as bread, pasta and wheat cereal.

There are also over 140 scientific studies involving gluten and autism. One of the most recent
studies published in 2018 reveals how autistic children who were given a modified
ketogenic gluten-free diet with MCT significantly improved core features of autism spectrum
disorder assessed by the ADOS-2 and CARS-2 behavioral tests after just three months. (18)

Cow’s dairy: The protein in cow’s dairy, called A1 casein, can trigger a similar reaction as
gluten and, therefore, should be avoided in a dairy-free diet. For calcium, increase green leafy
vegetables. You may also want to try goat’s milk kefir, which provides calcium and other key
nutrients as well as probiotics.

Sugar: Sugar can cause fluctuations in blood sugar leading to behavioral problems. Avoid any
forms of concentrated sugar including candy, desserts, soda, or fruit juices. Sugar has also been
shown to have major negative effects on the brain.

Food coloring and dyes: Children with autism, especially those that also have ADHD, can be
sensitive to a variety of food dyes and colorings. Therefore, all processed foods should be
avoided. Many experts in the U.S. believe that the FDA should require manufacturers to include
a label warning parents that artificial colors may affect hyperactivity in some children. (19)

Soy: Soy is a common food allergy and contains phytic acid, a type of antinutrient that impairs
nutrient absorption and can irritate the intestines causing leaky gut syndrome.

Natural Supplements for Autism

1. Fish Oil (1,000 milligrams daily)

Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, specifically the EPA/DHA in fish oil, is critical for brain
function and is highly anti-inflammatory. Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids like fish oil is
one of the most commonly used complementary and alternative practices in children with autism
spectrum disorder. Study results have been mixed but some have demonstrated marked
improvement in autism symptoms. (27, 28)

2. Digestive enzymes (1-2 capsules with each meal)

Since children with autism tend to have digestive problems and may also have leaky gut,
digestive enzymes can help with absorption of vitamins and minerals. According to Autism
Canada, digestive enzymes can improve digestion and reduce inflammation, which is very
helpful since “impairments in digestion and absorption contribute to the child’s impaired
nutritional status, which can in turn contribute to and further impair immunity, detoxification and
brain function.” (29)

3. Vitamin D3 (2000–5000 IU)

Vitamin D deficiency is more common in children with autism compared to children without
autism. This is a key vitamin required for healthy brain function. A vitamin D deficiency in a
pregnant mother may also increase autism risk in her offspring.

One study even showed that autism rates are highest among babies conceived in winter months
(when vitamin D levels tend to be lowest in humans due to decreased sunlight exposure) and,
furthermore, that the season of conception accounts for 11.4 percent of cases of autism,
intellectual disability and learning difficulties. This was a record-linkage study of 801,592
children in Scotland. (30, 31)

4. Probiotic (50 billion units daily)

Children with autism commonly experience gastrointestinal problems such as abdominal pain,
constipation and diarrhea. Since autism may be connected to digestive issues, taking a good
quality probiotic daily can help maintain intestinal health and an optimal balance of good and
bad bacteria in the gut.

5. L-carnitine (250–500 milligrams daily)

This amino acid has been shown to improve the symptoms of autism. A study published in 2013
with 30 autistic children as subjects shows that l-carnitine supplement can improve behavioral
symptoms. L-carnitine therapy (100 milligrams per kilogram of body weight weight each day)
administered for a total of six months “significantly improved the autism severity, but
subsequent studies are recommended.” (32)
6. Multi-vitamin with folic acid/folate (daily for pregnant women)

A study published in 2018 concludes, “Maternal exposure to folic acid and multivitamin
supplements before and during pregnancy is associated with a reduced risk of ASD in the
offspring compared with the offspring of mothers without such exposure.” (33) I recommend a
prenatal vitamin that contains folate rather than folic acid, which is the synthetic form of folate
commonly found in many fortified foods and supplements.

Autism Parenting Magazine recommends the following essentials oils for children with ASD
and/or ADHD for their various positive effects, including boosting the mood, promoting mental
clarity and reducing stress: (37)

 Frankincense
 Sandalwood

Vetiver: This oil helps quiet an overactive, exhausted, or stressed mind. Also, it is a great choice
in helping to control anger, irritability, or neurotic behavior. Vetiver has the scent of a forest
after the rain, with its earthy and damp scent. It helps to subdue an overactive, exhausted, or
stressed mind, which many individuals with autism regularly experience.

Lavender oil is ideal for bath time when the children are tired, stressed, or sick. Putting a few
drops of lavender in the water can substantially help a child with autism calm down and get a
good night’s sleep.


 Mandarin
 Cedarwood
 Chamomile
 Peppermint
 Bergamot
 Ylang Ylang

oil use in autism: Essential Oils And Autism: Treating Autism With Only A Drop.

Effective remedies that I have prescribed constitutionally for children with autism spectrum
disorder whose main complaint revolves around GI disorders include Euphorbium, Dioscorea,
Colocynthis, Chelidonium, Podophyllum, China, Cina, and Nux vomica. In most cases, I begin
by dosing a 30C potency every few days and eventually move up to 200C, 1M, or even 10M
potencies.

The differential diagnosis for GI pain sensations includes the following:

Euphorbium: Burninglike fire in the abdomen and stomach. Tied or bound-up sensation, with a
desire to break free.

Dioscorea: Colic, which is better when bending backward, moving, or walking about. Twisting
sensations and sharp, cutting pains in bowels.

Colocynthis: Violent cutting, stabbing, and tearing pains. Sensation of fullness in the epigastric
region. Pain in the stomach, with toothache or headache.

Chelidonium: Nausea and bilious vomiting, with sick headaches. Sensations of heat or coldness
in the stomach, as if a plug is in the stomach. Qualmishness, which is better after belching.

Podophyllum: Rumbling and shifting of flatus in the ascending colon, which the patient rubs for
relief. Colic in the abdomen with cramplike knots, which is improved by flexing the limbs.

China: profuse, exhausting discharges and loss of vital fluids. Flatulence. Cold sensation in the
stomach. Frequent vomiting of undigested food. Congestive migraines.

Cina: Colic with cutting, pinching pains; may be associated with worms. Can be accompanied by
bed-wetting, teeth-grinding, or itchy anus.

Nux vomica: Empty feeling in the stomach, followed by dyspepsia. Heartburn with irritability.
Nausea and vomiting every morning.

Amy is a 6-year-old girl with autism and PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric
disorders associated with streptococcal infections). According to her mother, she has always had
trouble since the day she was born; she could not even get comfortable in utero. Her diagnosis
was given at 26 months because she would not let anyone touch her, made no eye contact, and
would flip through books for hours at a time. Over the years, she made some progress with
speech and occupational therapy and with Defeat Autism Now (DAN) therapy.

At the time of her consultation, Amy was in an autism classroom but is very bright; she can read
and write and has become more verbal. She still has a lot of sensory issues such as spinning
when her body feels overwhelmed and is still quite socially limited. She gets bouts of diarrhea
that are either yellow or black. She has issues with potty training and still wears a diaper.
Sometimes, she will sit on the potty and just scream; it is hard to tell if she feels the urge to have
a bowel movement or not. She also vomits, but instead of saying “I’m gonna throw up,” she
switches it and says, “I‘m gonna throw down.”

Her mother describes Amy’s pain: “She is trying to push her belly away; it hurts, and she is
twisting to get into a comfortable position, throwing her head back and belly out and screaming
at the top of her lungs. It feels like she is stuck, stuck in her body with the pain; if I keep
pushing, maybe it will get the pain out; everything feels like a jumble of knots.”

Her mother has a history of irritable bowel syndrome as well. She says that when her sister died
her stomach was in such knots that people could hear the gurgling very loudly. Her irritable
bowel syndrome feels like there is too much air in the stomach and that it could explode. As a
result, the mother would avoid going in public for fear of having a bowel accident in front of
other people. She would get diarrhea in the evenings when she got home from work.

Amy is prescribed Podophyllum. The starting dosage is 30C twice a week.

One month later, Amy’s stools are better formed, she is a little clearer in speech and more
interactive, and has fewer tantrums. Three months later, we move up to Podophyllum 200C once
a week; as a result, she potty trains herself successfully, and her stools have completely
normalized. Six months after regular dosing of Podophyllum, her mother states, “She is doing
great; she is more engaged, more with us in general, and talking more, socializing more….
Nothing is really holding her back.”

Jaya is a nonverbal 5-year-old girl with an autism diagnosis whose parents immigrated to New
York City from Tibet. Her mother says, “She was always throwing up when she was born,
sometimes so much her nose would clog and she couldn’t breathe. She would cry for hours like
someone was beating her; she was in so much pain.” Jaya did not crawl a lot, and eye contact
stopped at 1½ years old after a series of ear infections. She is constipated all the time; stool has
to be pulled out. She is still in diapers. She has had minimal reaction to speech therapy and DAN
protocols. She is very restless in her body and constantly wants to be in a swing or stroller. Jaya
is always climbing onto tables and chairs. She also has very itchy rashes, with sandpaperlike
skin.

Her mother says that during her pregnancy she had a bowel obstruction that was really intense.
She went 4 to 5 times to the emergency department, and they gave her painkillers for it. She said
it felt “heavy and twisting; I was bending over, stretching myself, squeezing my tummy, twisting
side to side. It felt like a heartbeat pumping.”

She says, “I came to this country, a dream country, with nothing; it was really stressful. I didn’t
have money and was worried how I would support the baby. I worked as a cashier in a deli, and
the boss would yell at me like a little kid in front of the customer. I was scared to work for him.
We had bedbugs in the house and roaches, so I spent half the day killing bugs. I was stuck in a
very bad place.”

Jaya is prescribed Dioscorea. The starting dosage is 30C twice a week.

Dioscorea was given primarily based on the description of the pain. This remedy is in the
“malarial miasm,” which is described by Rajan Sankaran as a feeling of “stuck, feeling
persecuted, with intermittent colic.” Other GI remedies such as Cina, Colocynthis, and
Podophyllum also fit this miasm. Within the first month, all of Jaya’s GI pain stopped. The
mother says, “Her poop is better, she is not jumping and climbing, she is more calm, and she
plays with her toys more properly now. Her eye contact is much better.” Her rash had worsened,
however, so a few doses of Psorinum were given based partly on the mother’s own fear of
poverty and the skin symptoms, which cleared up nicely. Jaya continued to take Dioscorea in a
series of increasing potencies, with improvement in speech and socialization.
Tarentula Hispana: Most commonly used in treating idiosyncrasies. The child is hyperactive,
compulsive, restless, constantly moving, and has difficult being in one place, can be violent and
destructive. Strange, but they have a strong liking to music.
