Natural remedies for hyperthyroidism treatment |
|
Anti-inflammatory foods, vitamin D and avoiding allergens are the key to a balanced functioning of the thyroid gland.
When thyroid functions are disrupted and it starts to secrete large amounts of hormones, a condition called hyperthyroidism is developed.
This condition is characterized by rapid heartbeat, weight loss, sweating, anxiety and tension, fatigue, tremors and increased digestion.
Fortunately, we now know how to naturally treat this health problem and restore body balance and harmony.
What causes hyperthyroidism
The most common causes of hyperthyroidism are chronically inflamed thyroid gland (thyroiditis) and autoimmune condition called Graves' disease.
Both inflammatory and autoimmune disorders occur due to over-and under-coordinated functioning of the immune system.
Intestinal dysbiosis, allergens, stress, poor eating habits, low levels of vitamin D and environmental toxins also contribute to the development of this disease.
Environmental risk to thyroid gland is lurking from heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, household mold, Teflon pans, and cleaning and personal hygiene products.
Lack of good bacteria creates a vicious circle
Dysbiosis is a condition in which the balance between pathogenic and good microorganisms in the body is affected. In today's world most people have dysbiosis, because our food does not ensure sufficient quantities of good bacteria.
In such a condition, the intestines are inhabited by too many harmful microorganisms.
Over time, they damage the intestinal wall, which allows food particles to enter the bloodstream.
The immune system then registers the particles of undigested food, marks them as foreign bodies, and then launches an allergic reaction and inflammation in the body.
In this case, long-term intake of high-quality probiotics and avoidance of allergens from food is recommended.
The most common food allergen that you need to avoid is gluten, a substance found in wheat, barley, rye, oats and kamut.
Many people cannot tolerate any soy products, nuts and heavy proteins.
Other common allergens are found in nightshade vegetables like eggplant and tomatoes.
And of course, avoid fast, artificial and processed foods.
Do you have an autoimmune reaction or increased inflammation; make sure to test for food intolerance.
Another method is the elimination diet – remove certain food items from your diet one at a time, and monitor whether your health improves.
Use food against inflammation
Anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle are crucial for complete recovery of the thyroid gland.
Anti-inflammatory foods regulate the immune system and prevent it from creating even more severe inflammation.
Help your immunity by avoiding artificial and refined sugars and foods that contain common allergens.
Intake of Omega 3 fatty acids can also help to significantly reduce inflammation in the body.
Powerful anti-inflammatory properties are found in food items such as coconut, berries and whey protein (from cows and goats that graze on pastures).
Whey from naturally fed cows and goats is rich in L-glutamine and increase supplies of glutathione in the cells. It is very important for the recovery of the digestive tract and to reduce inflammation in the body.
As often as possible, consume turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, rosemary and oregano, because they have anti-inflammatory properties.
If you suffer from hyperthyroidism, eating raw vegetables from the cruciferous family could also help you.
Broccoli, cabbage and kale in raw form contain goitrogens, which reduces excessive production of thyroid hormones and normalizes thyroid functions.
Stock up on vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is a modern epidemic. Vitamin D coordinates the functioning of the immune system and its response to allergens.
It does so by helping the body to distinguish between foreign proteins and proteins found in the human body, which reduces inflammation and autoimmune reactions.
Healthy range of vitamin D3 is between 60 and 100 ng / ml, which is more than the usual recommended dose of 32 ng / ml.
Find out your level of vitamin and raise it above 60 ng / ml.
Spend 20 to 30 minutes in the sun every day or use dietary supplements with 10,000 to 50,000 IU of high quality vitamin D3 until you reach the desired level.
Avoid toxic substances
Other factors that drastically affect our immune system and health of the thyroid gland are toxins from our environment.
They can be in the form of heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, household mold etc. They can be found in cleaning and personal hygiene products, the water we drink and even in our dishes (Teflon pans).
Avoid exposure to toxic substances as much as possible.
Purify the water you drink, use natural cosmetics and cleaning products, and replace Teflon pans with other less reactive dishes.
Golden root restores balance
Even the Chinese emperors organized expeditions to rugged highlands to reach these precious plants which are thought to prolong life.
With its active ingredients, this plant strengthens and tones the body, adjusts its functions and promotes physical stamina.
Golden root reduces stress, improves adrenal gland functions and can be useful in the treatment of thyroid gland diseases caused by stress.
