Pressure Beads May Provide ADHD Relief

WLWT in Cincinnati is reports on a non-medicative method of treating ADHD behavior, designed to complement an existing treatment regimen: pressure beads. It looks promising:

"By stimulating a point with the Chinese bead, it actually regenerates your spirit. So using it for ADD, in most cases, calms you down so you can focus ... you don't get frustrated," said Christopher Smith, acupuncture specialist.

When adhered behind the ear, the bead stimulates a specific pressure point. Smith said the beads work 24 hours a day, replacing edginess and distraction with focus and concentration. Patients on this therapy are urged to stick with the regimen prescribed by their doctor, Vara reported.
