Information on How to Regulate Thyroid Functioning and Natural Thyroid Remedies to Support Thyroid Health.

PRODUCT GUIDE

What is Hyperthyroidism?

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

What are the Symptoms of Adrenal Disease?

Adrenal disease may often go unnoticed until far advanced.  When symptoms do appear they are often vague and may include:

• Fatigue
• Loss of energy
• Decreased immune system with recurrent illness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of appetite
• Weight loss
• Muscle weakness
• Dizziness on standing up
• Anxiety and depression
• Decreased tolerance to cold
• Hair loss in women
• Increased pigmentation of skin

How is Hyperthyroidism Diagnosed?

The diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is easily made by means of a blood test to measure levels of the thyroid hormone (T3 and T4) in the blood. Levels of a hormone called TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) secreted by the pituitary gland, will also be measured. Other tests may be done to measure how the thyroid uses iodine and to determine which type of hyperthyroidism the person has.

What Causes Hyperthyroidism?

The most common cause of an overactive thyroid is Graves Disease. Graves Disease is an auto-immune illness in which the immune system begins to attack parts of ones own body - in this case the thyroid gland.

Other causes of Hyperthyroidism include nodules on the thyroid gland, inflammation of the thyroid (thyroiditis) and over-treatment of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).

How is Hyperthyroidism Usually Treated?

Hyperthyroidism may be treated with anti-thyroid drugs like methimazole and propylthiouracil (PTU) - which block the thyroid from producing thyroid hormone.

Although these drugs may quickly bring the thyroid into balance, they can have side effects such as itching, rash, fever, liver inflammation or a deficiency of white blood cells. Often the hyperthyroidism comes back after these drugs are discontinued.

For this reason, orthodox medicine often recommends that the thyroid be permanently put out of action by means of radioactive iodine treatment or surgical removal of all or part of the thyroid. While this can permanently solve the problem of hyperthyroidism, oftentimes the symptoms that accompany hypothyroidism still persist even after the treatment.

People who have had their thyroid gland removed or inactivated by radioactive iodine treatment usually have to take medication for hypothyroidism for the rest of their lives. Other medication, for example beta-blockers, may be prescribed to control some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Can Natural Remedies Help?

If left untreated, hyperthyroidism can be a significant threat to health and may cause serious complications.

Mild Hyperthyroidism often responds well to complementary medicine and a holistic approach (including diet) and may help to calm down the thyroid and remove the need for radioactive iodine treatment or surgery. This should be discussed with your doctor, homeopath or naturopath before home treatment of overactive thyroid is begun.

What are the Ingredients?

• Lycopus virginicus also called Bugleweed, helps to normalize the overactive thyroid. Lythospermic and other organic acids found in Bugleweed help to decrease the levels of certain hormones in the body - including TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland) and T4 (produced by the thyroid). It can also inhibit the binding of antibodies to the thyroid gland, helping to relieve the symptoms of Grave's Disease.
• Melissa officinalis also called lemon balm, is well-known for its soothing and calming properties and is widely prescribed by herbalists for the relief of anxiety and insomnia. Some studies have also suggested that Melissa also helps to soothe the overactive thyroid gland, particularly in the case of Grave's Disease. This herb may help to block the attachment of antibodies to the thyroid cells, as well as preventing TSH from stimulating the overactive thyroid.
• Leonurus cardica also called Motherwort has traditionally been used to soothe heart palpitations as well as menstrual irregularity and anxiety, making it an excellent addition to this remedy.
