Hypothyroidism: What is it?

A type of thyroid disorder, hypothyroidism is when your thyroid does not produce enough thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism means “underactive thyroid.” It affects millions of people, especially women. In this article, we take a look at natural remedies for hypothyroidism in women.

Because your thyroid is an endocrine gland, it is involved in the production and secretion of hormones. These thyroid hormones have difficult-to-pronounce names, but fortunately are commonly referred to by their simpler names:

T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Tetraiodothyronine or Thyroxine).

These hormones are primarily responsible for managing your body’s metabolism, but also affect your moods and sexual functioning.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Types of Thyroid Disease

There are various ways hypothyroidism is classified.  According to Dr. Thompson, author of What Doctors Fail to Tell you about Iodine and your Thyroid, there are five different types of hypothyroidisms. Along with this, there is something called  “subclinical hypothyroidism.”

Type 1

The thyroid glands fail to produce the adequate quantities of the hormones essential to maintain the optimal functioning of the human body.

Type 2

In this case, even though the body makes hormones, the body fails to identify them or use them, leading to hormone resistance.

Type 3

It is an autoimmune condition triggered by exposure to toxic minerals, causing secondary inflammation of this thyroid gland. While Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most commonly known of these autoimmune conditions, there are several other types also.

Type 4

This type of hypothyroidism is induced by a severe deficiency in the intake of selenium and is rare.

Type 5

Described for the first time by Dr. Denis Wilson in 1992, type 5  is known as the “Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome.” The person with this hypothyroidism type has an increased reverse T3 which blocks the functioning the T3 thyroid hormone.

Subclinical Hypothyroidism

According to a study [1], “Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), also called mild thyroid failure, is diagnosed when peripheral thyroid hormone levels are within normal reference laboratory range but serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are mildly elevated.

This condition occurs in 3% to 8% of the general population. It is more common in women than men, and its likelihood increases with age. Of patients with SCH, 80% have a serum TSH of less than ten mIU/L.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1625513376852{background-color: #e2f2f0 !important;}”]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1625520439107{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”]

Some of the most common reasons of hypothyroidism are:

• Autoimmune diseases
• Medications for hyperthyroidism
• Unhealthy gut
• Undergoing radiation
• Iodine and zinc deficiency
• Insufficient selenium intake
• Congenital diseases
• Pregnancy
• Presence of benign tumor in the pituitary gland

1. Lifestyle Remedies for Hypothyroidism

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Eat a Healthy, Balanced Diet

Eat a diet that’s rich in zinc and iodine.

These minerals are essential to the health of your thyroid.

Here is the recommended Healing Diet for Thyroid[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]

Gluten Free

Health experts claim there is a gluten-thyroid connection, and that you would be better off choosing gluten-free foods if you have hypothyroidism.

Foods that contain gluten are wheat, rye, and barley products.

Other foods to explore to replace wheat are quinoa, buckwheat, cornmeal, flax, and amaranth. You can find these at specialty health food stores, or in bulk zones of your market. You can read more about how to go gluten-free here.

Switch to coconut oil

Coconut oil is thyroid-friendly.

Drink plenty of water. Water not only helps reduce constipation, but it also ensures you remain hydrated, which helps your metabolism and energy.

Additionally take probiotics for healthy gut bacteria, omega-3 fatty acids, and healthy fats in balanced amounts.

Avoid Soy Products

According to a study titled, “Effects of soy protein and soybean isoflavones on thyroid function in healthy adults and hypothyroid patients” that appeared in PubMed in March 2006(2) “Soy may adversely affect thyroid function and interfere with the absorption of synthetic thyroid hormone.”

While more studies may be required to test the negative effects of soy on hormones, it is better to be safe and just eliminate it.

Keep Your Diet Alkaline

An alkaline diet promotes detoxification, eases inflammation, and restores the natural balance of the body. This is the key reason why natural healers opt for an alkaline diet to heal chronic conditions like hypothyroidism.

Manage Your Estrogen

High levels of estrogen can elevate the risk of hypothyroidism. Therefore, it’s best to refrain using birth control pills, non-organic meats, dairy products, and gluten to keep estrogen levels normal.

Sleep Well

Sleeping for 6-8 hours is essential for normal functioning of the human body. So make sure to harmonize with nature’s rhythms and get to bed before 11 pm.

Cut Down on Caffeine and Alcohol

In an article that appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine[3], caffeine could hijack your thyroid. An increased consumption of coffee could affect your sleep, in turn, increasing cortisol levels. This, eventually, leads to a sluggish thyroid.

Also, the impact of alcohol on the thyroid is somewhat similar, says a study[4]. Hence, it is advisable to reduce or even eliminate coffee and alcohol from your diet.

Exercise Regularly

If your thyroid is not functioning at its optimal level, the thought of exercise can seem unimaginable. However, exercising regularly helps improve your health on every level. If you are looking for a fun, dynamic exercise, rebounding on a trampoline has 10 Amazing Benefits for your body and mind! 

Along with shedding the excess weight, you are carrying around; a good exercise routine helps to reduce stress.

In short, it will help the thyroid to function optimally, with the added benefit of burning calories, and revving up your metabolism. Exercise 30–60 minutes a day, 4–5 times a week.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1625513560943{background-color: #e2f2f0 !important;}”]

Iodine

Iodine deficiency is one of the most common causes of thyroid problems. Eating seaweed, fish, sea vegetables and eggs can help prevent iodine deficiency.

Selenium

Selenium is crucial for T3 hormone production while also reducing the adverse effects of autoimmune attacks.

Vitamin B-Complex

B Vitamins play a major role in several neurological functions and for balancing hormonal levels. These vitamins also reduce chronic fatigue which is a known symptom of hypothyroidism.

Apple Cider Vinegar

The natural detoxification properties of ACV promotes elimination of toxic remnants from your body, improves your metabolism, and aids in weight loss. It also helps thyroid to function normally.

Just mix 2 tsp undiluted, raw ACV in 6 ounces warm water. Add a spoon of honey, swirl, and consume on empty stomach for about 12 weeks to see noticeable changes.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid. These ease thyroid inflammation and promote detoxification. The capric acid and caprylic acid present in coconut oil function as antibacterial elements, promoting cleansing.

Coconut oil also helps to regulate the functioning of thyroid, brain and set the stage for healthy weight loss. Aim to include 1 to 2 tbsp of coconut oil in your diet.

Kelp

Kelp is a rich source of iodine, the primary mineral essential for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland. This seaweed also contains zinc and fiber, which is beneficial for optimal thyroid functioning. However, it is advisable to check with the doctor for the right dosage as overconsumption could have negative impacts.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Fish oils are wonderful sources of Omega 3 fatty acids, the anti-inflammatory essential fats.

Along with regulating the thyroid function, these EFAs also alleviates the symptoms of this condition. Omega fatty acids are one of the most sought-after natural remedies for hypothyroidism.

It’s always best to get your nutrition from food sources, but sometimes it’s not possible. In that case, it’s smart to supplement.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]

Carrots

Take 1-2 glasses of carrot juice to reduce thyroid inflammation. The vitamin A present in carrots are powerful antioxidants that stimulate a healthy balance of thyroid hormones.

Goji Berries

Goji berries, also known as Lyceum berries, are natural immune-modulating gifts from Mother Nature. They help to lower stress and can be effective for autoimmune conditions triggered by thyroid.

Evening Primrose Oil

Evening primrose oil is one of the most effective natural remedies for hypothyroidism, especially for women. It’s rich in gamma linoleic acids, and anti-inflammatory properties. Also, it helps stimulate a healthy balance of thyroid hormones.

L-Tyrosine and L-Arginine

These two amino acids are well-known for their thyroid supporting activities. These amino acids encourage the body to produce natural thyroid hormones.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

3. Ayurvedic Remedies for Hypothyroidism

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Ayurveda teaches you Nature’s great principles of health and natural living. If you are new to Ayurveda, start here: >> What is Ayurveda About?

The emphasis in Ayurveda is on self-care, taking responsibility for your health, preparing your food, appropriate exercise, eating seasonally, and keeping a positive state of mind.

Ayurveda treats the person, not the disease. So, get to know yourself, learn what combination of qualities you have in your body and mind. When you know which elements make up the majority of your constitution, you will know which conditions you thrive in.

Hypothyroidism in Ayurveda

The thyroid gland imbalances are often related to the qualities of cold, heavy, stable, dull, gross, dense, soft and smooth. In other words, Kapha Dosha.

Ayurveda stresses the importance of a healthy diet, proper digestion, and lifestyle, seasonal cleansing along with specific herbs to restore the balance of thyroid hormones. Additionally, colors, aromas, meditation, affirmations, music, mantra, changes in a relationship, employment, or lifestyle could be useful or necessary.

The thyroid is also related to the 5th or vishuddha chakra. This is the chakra of self-expression. For this reason, healthy self-expression is needed, and Non-violent communication can be an invaluable tool. (www.cnvc.org)

Treatment

• Fasting, or light Kapha-reducing diet
• Hot, spicy digestive herbal tea, like fresh ginger tea
• Channel clearing herbs and formulas like kanchanar Guggulu
• Aerobic exercise
• Examine areas of your life where there is limited self-expressing and strive to increase it.
• Affirmations to help increase self-expression, as well as meditation to increase light and ether.

Kanchanara Guggulu

It is one of the standard recommended and safe remedies for hypothyroidism. Kanchanara Guggulu reduces glandular swelling, promotes elimination of fluids from tissues, aids weight loss, and promotes detoxification to manage the thyroid disorder.

Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is an adaptogen similar to ginseng in Chinese medicine. It is one of the best rejuvenating herbs in the Ayurvedic pharmacology. It is used in all conditions of weakness and chronic diseases. Additionally, it helps to ease fatigue and debility and promotes sleep.

Tulsi – Holy Basil

Like Ashwagandha, Tulsi is an adaptogen often prescribed an antidote for stress-induced hypothyroidism. It can be used in the form of tea along with Ashwagandha or as a supplement.

 Brahmi

Brahmi is a tonic for the endocrine system. It helps to restore the natural Pitta balance while nourishing the entire nervous system. It also lowers Kapha, assisting the thyroid gland to function normally.

A mixture of Brahmi, sugar, clove, and cardamom in the ratio 10/4/2/1 is often prescribed to ease inflammation of the thyroid gland.

therapeutic for mild depression, abdominal issues, fatty abdomen, thyroid disorders, and migraine.

Lie down on your back, palms resting on either side of your body. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor with the heels resting close to your bottom.

Exhale, press your hands into the floor and draw your thighs into your chest. Lift your pelvis and reach your feet toward the sky. Supporting your low back, draw your elbows towards each other. Walk your hands down your back to lift your pelvis higher.

Ideally, your legs will be perpendicular to the floor. Keep your legs together and feet relaxed.

As you slowly breathe, gaze softly into the chest, relax the tongue, throat, and facial muscles.  Press the back of the upper arms and shoulders into the mat to reduce pressure on the neck. Hold the pose for about 60 seconds. To exit, exhale and bend your knees toward your chest.

Place your palms flat on the floor and slowly roll onto the mat, vertebrae by vertebrae.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Matsyasasna – Fish Pose

This pose stimulates and activates your Throat Chakra, to restore the natural levels of thyroid gland. It is also the counter-pose to Sarvangasana.

Lie on your back, legs extended.

Let the hands rest on either sides of the body, palms flat on the mat. Inhale and lift your head and look in front of you. As you exhale, place the crown of your head on mat while lifting the chest off the mat as high as possible. Hold the posture, breathing deeply, for 60 seconds.

To come out, press strongly into your forearms and raise your head off the floor. Release your upper body to the floor.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQrsJ-yZWV8″ align=”center” title=”Ujjaya Breathing”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this Pranayama technique, you use breathe in and out by constricting your throat, which helps to stimulate and normalize the functioning of your thyroid gland.

Sit down in any comfortable seated posture, keeping your spine upright. Relax your neck and shoulders. Let your palms rest on the knees, and join the tips of your thumb and index fingers of respective hands.

Close your eyes and take 3 rounds of deep inhalations and exhalations through your nose to prepare for the practice. Inhale through your nose. As you exhale, constrict the throat muscles and exhale through the nose making a snoring sound. Practice for 5 minutes. Once you are comfortable here, try to constrict the throat while inhaling as well.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpQzsORxL8w” align=”center” title=”Surya Mudra for Thyroid”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Surya Mudra

Surya Mudra is also known as Prithvi-shamak mudra as it helps to lower the Earth element in your body. It is one of the most beneficial Mudras that you could practice daily to activate your thyroid gland, improve digestion, and shed the excess pounds.

Sit down in any comfortable seated posture, keeping your spine upright. Relax your neck and shoulders. Let your palms rest on the knees. Bend your ring fingers of respective hands and rest their tips inside respective palms. Place your thumbs on respective index fingers. Close your eyes and practice the gesture for 15 minutes.

You can practice it for 45 minutes together or as three sessions of 15 minutes each. It is advisable to refrain from eating food one hour before and after practicing this Mudra.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

What Would Louise Say?

Along with these natural remedies for hypothyroidism, a change in your mindset is also essential to restore the natural functioning of your thyroid gland.

Here are some affirmations from Master Healer, Louise Hay which you could use to restore your health and heal your life.

According to her, thyroid problems arise from “humiliation, feeling repressed or put down, or feeling as if you never get to do what you want.”

The following affirmation “I move beyond old limitations and allow myself to express freely and creatively” is what she suggests![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Conclusion for Natural Remedies for Hypothyroidism

I’ve given you lots of natural remedies for hypothyroidism here, so you may want to re-read, take notes or bookmark for future reference.

Your body is a powerful self-healing organism and nobody knows your body better than you do, so get to know your body, eat right, exercise, take natural remedies.

Doctors give drugs – ALL of which have side effects and harm the body. Drugs only cover up symptoms.

The only way you will get well and remain well, is if you stop doing all the things that cause disease and start to do the things that keep you well.

Please promise me one more thing… You won’t hesitate to ask me questions in the comment area below. I’m here to help you out and I would love nothing more than for you to be the healthiest version of yourself possible. Let me know if you need anything and I will be sure to get back within “hours” most of the time.

Love and best wishes always![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
