What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for childhood hyperactivity disorder?

The main TCM treatments for childhood ADHD include the following: 1. Pediatric Tuina (therapeutic massage): As a preferred treatment method, commonly used techniques include Liver Meridian Clearing, Heart Meridian Clearing, Small Intestine Meridian Clearing, Kidney Meridian Tonifying, and massaging the "Er Ma" point. These techniques can help soothe the liver, clear heat, relieve depression, and alleviate irritability. However, this method is relatively less effective for older children. 2. Herbal Treatment: The treatment is relatively complex and there is no uniform clinical treatment protocol. The general principle is to clear heart fire, calm liver wind, resolve phlegm, and unblock the meridians. Commonly used herbal decoctions or self-prepared pills include Zhibai Dihuang Tang and Anning Yizhi Tang. 3. Cupping Therapy: This method has certain effects in clearing heat and is suitable for ADHD caused by excessive heart and liver fire. However, it should not be used as a standalone treatment and is better employed as an adjunct to Tuina or herbal therapy. The main acupoints selected for cupping are the back-shu points on the posterior aspect of the body. All of the above TCM treatments should be conducted under the guidance of qualified professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
