Dear Eman
We hope that you are aware of the fact that Autistic children should be given a diet free of Casein and Gluten, since the patients are not able to fully break down these nutrients. Casein, found in all milk and dairy products. Gluten, found in wheat, barley, rye, and also oats. Will you please mention, if the child you are talking about, is Autistic by birth. Because the cause may be any of the following-- Heredity
Infection
Auto immune Disorder
Environmental Toxins.
Also please specify the child's Estrogen level. We need to know it.

However, Herbs which are effective to cure Autism are are -
Ginger, Ginkgo, Astragalus Root decoction of Astragalus can be prepared and taken twice a day for 20 days.
Ginger tea should be taken daily, for a month
Ginkgo Biloba capsules are readily available in the market. Take one capsule, once a day, for a month. Regards,

The height of a person increase upto a certain age only. And that too depends on the gender. For girls- Till puberty. It is almost impossible for a girl to increase her height once her periods start. Boys- 24 maximum. Natural ways of increasing height are-
Swimming, Hanging on the rod and take diet rich in Calcium.

The herb is not quite effective for knee pain--- You may try Boswellia capsules, a highly effective cure for knee pain. One capsule everyday. My mom has been using it for the last 2 months and she feels no pain in her knees now. And Are you suffering from Arthritis ? Or any other joint disorder, you may share.

Yes it is helpful. But is not very effective. You may try Night Jasmine. Chew 3 to 4 leaves early morning. Why we recommend to prepare a decoction is because the leaves are realy bitter.If you do not like the taste, Prepare a decoction of the herb by boiling 3-4 leaves in water. Drink it daily on an empty stomach for an effective result. Or, You may consume the powder of stem bark with water twice a day for your arm or any joint pains.

For internal carminative, diuretic and mildly alterative.
But it is also strenghtening, nutrient, afrodisiac/rejuvenative/emmenagogue, improving lactation.

Is halim seeds and flax seeds not good for hypothyroidism??
 
Herbpathy

Muskaan.
Garden cress is not the herb for Thyroid Problems. In fact, it may cause Hypothyroidism. It prevents iodine absorption in the thyroid gland. It may even cause enlargement of Thyroid gland. As far as Flax is concerned, this herb is good for those suffering from Hypothyroidism.

13 Feb 2020
Hello Rashida Garden cress seeds are used to treat dandruff, but that's not an effective cure. There are multiple things that you can be used as Yogurt, Coconut milk, Castor oil, Lemon, Tomato, Fenugreek. I suggest you visit the Dandruff page in this website. There are a number of solutions to this. You can follow a method that suits you.
I hope it ll help you.
