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:
“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.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“For like as herbs and trees bringen forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover, springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds.”
—Thomas Malory (c. 1430–1471)
