Holistic Treatments for the Thyroid (Hypothyroid and Hyperthyroid)

Restore healthy thyroid functioning;
Treat hypothyroidism caused by iodine deficiency;
Ensure adequate production of thyroid hormones;
Assist with depression, fatigue, constipation, weight gain and other symptoms associated with hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is relatively easily to diagnose by means of a blood test to check TSH levels (the thyroid stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland) and T4 levels (the main thyroid hormone).

Remember that these levels can vary considerably from individual to individual and what is 'normal' for one person is not necessarily normal for another.

What are the symptoms of Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

Chronic fatigue and weakness
Weight Gain or difficulty losing weight
Hair loss or coarse, dry hair
Dry and rough skin
Intolerance to cold
Abnormal menstrual cycles
Decreased sex drive
Memory loss
Depression and irritability
Constipation
Muscle cramps

Not all of these symptoms are always present. If you are concerned that you may have Hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, always consult your doctor.

ThyroSoothe:

Calm, soothe and normalize overactive thyroids;
Reduce the symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism and Graves Disease;
Prevent overproduction of T4 and TSH hormones;
Block the attachment of antibodies to the thyroid cells

Hyperthyroidism is a medical condition in which the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone (called T3 and T4). As the thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and has effects on nearly all organs in the body, an overactive thyroid can have far reaching effects on health and body functioning.

What are the symptoms of Hyperthyroidism?

An overactive thyroid can result in the following symptoms. If you feel that these apply to you, please consult your doctor for an assessment.

Palpitations
Breathlessness
High blood pressure
Swelling at the base of the neck
Increased perspiration
Constant stare or blinking
Insomnia
Fatigue
Restlessness
Anxiety
Increased bowel movements
Light or absent menstruation
Weight loss Trembling hands
Feeling hot Muscle weakness
Hair loss

The thyroid gland, located in the front of the neck just below the Adam's apple, takes iodine from the diet and makes thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone affects a person's physical energy, temperature, weight and mood.

Thyroid diseases generally fall into two broad groups of disorders: abnormal function and abnormal growth (nodules) in the gland. These problems are common in the general population, especially among older people and women. Most thyroid problems can be detected and treated.

Functional disorders are usually related to the gland producing too little thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) or too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism).

Benign nodules in the thyroid gland are common and do not usually cause serious health problems. These nodules occur when the cell growth within the nodule is abnormal. Nodules can occasionally put pressure on the neck and cause trouble with swallowing, breathing or speaking if they are too large. The thyroid usually functions normally even when nodules are present.

Thyroid cancers are much less common than benign nodules. With treatment, the cure rate for thyroid cancer is more than 90 percent.
