How to remedy thyroid problems naturally
11/06/2018 // Edsel Cook // Views

Is your thyroid gland producing too little – or too much – of thyroxin? If you are having problems with your thyroid, an article in Homeopathic offered some tips to restore the proper balance of important hormones in your body.

The thyroid is linked with good stamina, healthy growth, the production of protein, control of body temperature, and the amount of oxygen burned up by cells. To fulfill these many roles, the gland releases controlled amounts of thyroxin.

Thyroid disease disrupts the release of this important hormone. Either too little thyroxin is sent out, or too much is unleashed. Either case can cause fatigue and obesity to set into the patient.

Luckily, an ailing thyroid gland can be bolstered by herbal supplements and home remedies. These natural solutions also bring a slew of other health benefits. (Related: Some of the best natural methods to promote thyroid health.)

Replenish vitamins, minerals, and elements that benefit thyroid health

Spirulina and kelp seaweed are some of the best natural sources of iodine. They are also some of the oldest remedies used to treat thyroid problems.

The thyroid uses iodine as the raw material for synthesizing thyroxin. Consuming either the blue-green algae or kelp seaweed would provide sufficient amounts of the element to replenish low levels of the thyroid hormone.

Both spirulina and kelp seaweed can be bought from stores that sell Chinese medicines and herbal remedies. They come in capsule form for easy consumption.

The thyroid uses various minerals and trace elements in various metabolic functions. The most common ones are calcium, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc; neodymium, terbium, and thulium are also quite important.

The gland also relies on vitamin B complex for some of its proper functions. These vitamins improve cellular oxygen consumption, raise energy levels, increase the efficiency of digestion, and strengthen the immune system.

The best way to get these vitamins and minerals is to eat foods that are rich in them. You can also consult with a professional naturopath for a thyroid formula.

Treating thyroid problems with medicinal herbs

If your thyroid is suffering from a disease, there are natural ways to improve its condition. Amino acids found in evening primrose oil, for instance, will strengthen the gland. Siberian ginseng indirectly enhances the thyroid by strengthening the adrenal gland and the thymus.

Bladderwrack and black walnut have plenty of iodine for thyroxin production. Black walnut also has manganese, a mineral that increases the absorption rate of this important element.

Black cohosh and agnus castus are taken by menopausal women to improve their estrogen levels. The female sex hormone can affect the thyroid, so women benefit from these herbs even more.

Irish moss can strengthen the thyroid in a similar way as iodine. Meanwhile, mullein can dial down harmful inflammation in the gland, thereby protecting the vulnerable tissues nearby.

Get your thyroid back into shape with the right diet and exercise regimen

Eating healthy foods, in general, will do great things for your thyroid. Swap out processed foods for freshly-prepared meals with more vegetables and fruits from clean, organic sources.

Go for carrots, dark green leafy vegetables, eggs, and yellow vegetables whenever you can. They have plenty of vitamin A, which improves your thyroid's ability to absorb iodine. As for the iodine, eat marine vegetables and certain types of fish.

You should also start exercising more often and more intensely. Increase your activity in any way that you can. Repeatedly lifting your legs up and down until you gain enough energy to stand up is a small but significant start to shaping up alongside your thyroid gland.
