What are the Best Herbs for Hypothyroidism?

 Thyroid hormone is responsible for controlling metabolism of body. When the body lacks enough thyroid hormone because it is blocked, it is called hypothyroidism and affects millions of people around the world.

 Thyroid problems are a serious problem,whether it is hyperactive, or hypoactive.

 For a Hypoactive thyroid, iodine is the most common form of treatment in modern medicine, and the same symptom works in herbal remedies, as many medicinal herbs have high iodine levels.

 As with any serious medical condition, herbal treatment for hypothyroidism will not always be the   optimal solution and should be used with medical treatment and not as a replacement for it.

Choosing one or more medicinal herbs as a natural remedy for hypothyroidism can be a beneficial    addition to traditional medicine and may prove to be a more symptom-free approach, but taking any herbal remedy before, it is important to be familiar with the potential side effects that may be associated with them.

Top 5 herbs for Hypothyroidism

1.       St. John's Wort

Since depression is often hypothyroidism's a symptom, a natural treatment for depression              such as St. John's Wort may benefit hypothyroid patients by reducing depression.

St. John's Wort contains a monoamine oxidase or an MAO inhibitor that naturally suppresses depression and helps elevate mood.

2.       Ashwagandha

The Ayurveda herb Ashwagandha is traditionally used as an herbal anti-inflammatory that helps the body cope with stress and recover. It is considered calm and good for anxiety, tiredness, poor memory and insomnia.

It has long been used by many herbalists as a thyroid support and has both been shown to increase thyroid hormone levels and also cure the prefix hypothyroidism.

3.       Licorice

Licorice contains many verified anti-oxidants and is reportedly effective in maintaining the endocrine system.

Other chemicals found in this herb are known to be particularly favourable for healing and maintaining the hypothalamus, and the pituitary and adrenal glands.

4.       Ginseng

Ginseng root has a 4000-year history as the strongest herb in traditional Chinese medicine. In our experience it is very difficult to grow but is an excellent herb. Ginseng is traditionally used to tone the innate qi (life energy) of the body for energy and longevity. Studies show that ginseng can enhance immunity and control hormones and is often used to combat stress.

Asian ginseng was shown to increase T3 and T4 and lower reverse T3 levels in a small study of patients with heart failure.

5.       Bacopa Monnieri

A traditional Ayurveda herb known for its traditional use as a brain tonic to improve memory, intelligence, anxiety and seizures. This plant is a popular aquarium plant for fish tanks (easy to grow in ponds or wet areas). Animal studies have shown that this herb can increase T4 levels by up to 40%.
