What is ADHD, Autism, Speech Delay & Developmental Delays?

Neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Speech Delay, and Milestone Delay are becoming increasingly common in children. These conditions are influenced by genetics, gut health, hormonal imbalances, stress hormones, poor sleep, and environmental factors. Ayurveda, Siddha, Homeopathy, and Panchakarma therapies offer holistic management through diet, detoxification, and mind-balancing treatments.

Causes of ADHD, Autism, and Speech Delay
