A study at the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA), Jamnagar, looked at about 38 children aged 6 to 14 years over 8 weeks.
The group on medicine alone showed about 38 per cent improvement.
The group that combined medicine with yoga showed about 70 per cent improvement.
Memory improved by about 61 per cent in the combined group, with irritability down about 66 per cent and hyperactivity down about 71 per cent.
The findings were published in the AYU journal; the Ministry of Ayush released them on 5 October. This is a small study, not clinical advice.
