      First of all, the medication issue is secondary to you getting information about ADHD.  There are many things that you can do for him that don't involve medication (and they all should be tried), but first you need to know what is going on with him, and then if it is ADHD - you need to know how to work with it at home and at school.
     Of all the resources I recommend on this forum, the best I have found in this situation is a book, "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley.   I highly recommend that you get it.  It will cover almost all of your questions.  You can order it via Amazon and it is fairly cheap.
     In regards to your question, I have never seen a herbal medicine that will help.  But, it is important to watch his diet.  This link will help - http://www.medhelp.org/add-adhd/slideshows/9-Worst-Foods-for-ADD---Plus-1-That-Can-Help/20
    You also want to make sure he is getting a good nights sleep.  Kids that don't sleep well (due to throat issues or ADHD) exhibit much worse symptoms during the day.
     Oh, how old is he?    
    Hope this helps.  If you have any more questions, please post.
