I was talking to a lady that sells essential oil's and she uses a combination of 5 oil's that she rubs on her daughter and she said that her daughter hasn't needed any meds for 2 years now has anyone else tried this I have always been sceptical about oil's but if it works I'm willing to try it .

There is no science to support the claim that essential oils help ADHD. However, there is no harm in trying them. If your child is in school, you can try them and see if the teachers report any change (don't tell them what you are doing).

I am really interested to know what essential oils the lady uses. My son is 12 and ADHD but he doesn't mind being "outside the box" on a lot of things. For instance, he's going to a KC Royals game today with his class and wearing blue shorts and high dress socks with huge lemons on them! He loves chicken wings, pickles, lemons and gardening so the socks had to be worn :) I tell you this since he is also very tactile - loves to be cozy - and is very aware of his senses so aromatherapy would appeal to him. He would not mind smelling like a lemon or herb which is unusual for a 12 year old. Right now he takes vyvance and it works but I definitely would try these oils.

Can you find out and post what they are and what the lady's daughter's age and diagnosis was?

I would appreciate it :)
