Many herbal remedies have scientific data to back them up. However, very few studies will ever have used children in their sample population. Therefore, most suggestions for herbal supplements are for adults and warnings are posted for use in children. The only way to know what to use for a child, really, is to make an appointment with a professional herbalist/naturalist in your community. This way the person is able to assess the situation thoroughly, both with a physical examination as well as analysis of medical history. I would not recommend researching and making decisions on your own about herbal remedies for your child unless you have the education to back it. I would also recommend searching out another pediatrician if you are not seeing any improvement with the suggestions of your present doctor. > My son has just had a lab and found a TSH of 18.
