Herbs for growth in children

By Archived User | Updated: Dec 31, 2021 | Published: Dec 31, 2021

Does anyone have any suggestions for short stature in a 12 year old, pre-puberty, very athletic boy? I'm thinking of very small amounts of herbs like Ling Zhi, Ci Wu JA, Tien Qi, Dang Shen, Nettle, Huang Qi, Da Qing Ye, Gou Qi Zi.

Thank You for any thoughts/experience ideas.

What is your diagnosis with supporting signs and symptoms, tongue and pulse? Are there other development issues? How tall are his parents?

Comment by Archived User

besides allergies to pet dander and mild allergy to milk. Did not check pulse, tongue healthy. Just short and skinny. Mother 5&#39 tall, father 6&#39 tall. Plan to treat allergies with immune tonics and amphoterics at low doses.

Thanks
