Herbs
There are no herbs (plant chemicals) that contain thyroid hormone. Therefore, while there are some herbs that may provide some help for a sluggish thyroid (i.e. if the thyroid is producing a low amount of thyroid hormone, but has not stopped completely), myxedema requires treatment with synthetic or desiccated natural thyroid hormones.

Famous quotes containing the word herbs:
“Bear only perfumes and the scent
Of healing herbs to just men’s fields!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I, in my pleached garden, watched the pomp,
Forgot my morning wishes, hastily
Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day
Turned and departed silent. I, too late,
Under her solemn fillet saw the scorn.”
