Hi all...I'm writing for a friend of mine who has a 9 year old son who has an anxiety disorder. So far, doctors have been no help. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for herbs that might help him out. He complains that he doesn't feel like he can breathe, and that his heart feels like it's pounding out of his chest. He worries a lot, as well as having obsessive compulsive disorder. My friend is stressing out really bad, and doesn't know where else to turn. She's gone from doctor to doctor and psychiatrists...So, anyway, I thought some of you might have some suggestions for her...thanks in advance for all of your help.

For a quick short term relief try Rescue Remedy by Bach Flower Remedies, this has helped a lot of people... For long term I would look at his diet and beverage consumption for starters and then see if improvement is found if nothing I would put him on a total cleanse. Also chemicals and non organic foods (especially corn) can be hard on the nervous system.
