Home Remedies for Hypothyroidism

What are the best herbs or supplements for hypothyroidism?
(13 Jul 2006)

Before prescribing herbal medicine or supplements it is good to know what medications (prescribed and OTC) you are taking. Herbs in general are safer when taken in their natural state (as in a tea) as opposed to tinctures or standardized extracts.

My current recommendation would be to incorporate sea vegetables into your diet (seaweed: kombu, arame, hijiki, nori etc.) and find an herbalist  or naturopathic doctor who can help you make the right choices.


You can find a Naturopathic Doctor in your area at www.naturopathic.com

 

Good Luck,

Bauhinia veriegata (purple mountain ebony) is mainly useful for functioning of thyroid. Please visit this link for my answer to a similar question. http://www.home-remedies-for-you.com/askquestion/482/view_q.html
